We fight and fought for the rights of people to do whatever they want to the flag. Regardless if we like it or not, that's the law of the land. So, if someone wants to become a hipocrite, it's fine with me, because Ole Glory represents the people not the government, if she offends you, then go persue your happiness in some other country.
If you don't mind a stint in jail and the likely loss of your career, then absolutely.
sadly with the legal system now days no, not to mention as a veteran you will get tagged with ptsd............ too much bs if you ask me, but then again I hate jail for even if its just an hour
As much as I would like to, but an assault is not a protected right. I would try to find a way to secure the flag and it in its proper place.
To make myself feel better, yes. I would go to jail for knocking some A-hole out for burning, stomping, or disrespecting the flag. To many people have died for that flag to let someone "express their freedom of speech". Plus, it would make me feel better.
I don't know that I would say it would be worth it. I can say that I am not certain I could help doing so.
Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
So if the purpose of inciting people to commit treason were the cause and the person was supporting or aiding the enemy say having the press their ? How about that?

I am plenty big enough to take the flag away from someone without hitting them, as much as I might want to do so.
I also dislike seeing shirts made out of the red, white and blue, or hats, or bundled babies. It just makes me cringe. But I know how to properly dispose of a desecrated flag so I would take it away.

Taking the flag away from someone is considered strong arm theft, but I agree that shirts hats or bundled babies are incorrect use of the flag.
