This lone protester is standing outside the suspected gunmen's apartment complex in Texas' cartoon shooting. This picture was taken by a bystander, but because of his shirt, he is getting flack. What do you think?

It's a viewpoint, nothing more. Do I agree with him? NO but that doesn't make his opinion wrong

as distasteful as it may be, it is freedom of expression.

I believe it all comes down to a corrupt government throwing out double standards and choosing to look the other way with this group of people and not for this group of people, just out of convenience to the Government and whats on the politically correct menu of the day. Looking back through history the government has always had double standards just as the US ARMY has double standards with its USAREUR regulations that they use when they want but resort back to ARMY Regulations when it suits their needs, saw it many times while stationed there... Sorry son, USAREUR regs supersedes Army Regs... oh except for that situation then it goes back to ARMY REG, unless its dealing with this then it..... Very confusing...

It could be both. That doesn't mean he doesn't have the right to do it. It also doesn't mean he is protected from people giving him flack for it. They are exercising the same right he is.

The flag part i'm fine with, but his shirt is not ok. For example, if we fighting korea right now, i don't want a protester or anyone wearing a shirt saying " f*** Korea".

The National Endowment for the Arts gave money to an artist that put a crucifix of Jesus in a glass of urine and to another artist that displayed the Virgin Mary surrounded by dung. How is this mans shirt any less an expression of Art or free speech than those so called artists? Double standard in society. I am not saying his t-shirt is art. I am simply asking where is the line supposed to be drawn on what is considered free speech? Of course you can't yell fire in a movie theater. But it is acceptable to stomp on an the American Flag?

I truly believe it is Free Speech. This country was built on being able to say what you believe without fear of repercussion.
