Likewise, for these cowards, if you’re going to go to a public place and burn my flag, you need to be prepared for the ass-kicking. <br /><br />Really, I’m glad no one was too hurt (despite deserving it), I’m really glad the flag was liberated, and no one got charged with assault. Well done, Hallowed Sons Motorcycle Club.Response by SSgt Private RallyPoint Member made Jul 2 at 2015 4:53 PM2015-07-02T16:53:23-04:002015-07-02T16:53:23-04:00MSG Brad Sand786920<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>While I support the action, I do support them starting any of the violence...ending the violence, yes but starting it no.
