Though we may find it disrespectful, she is exercising her Right to Protest.

We don't just defend the parts of the Constitution we like, we defend all of it.

The Flag is a Living Symbol of America. It is also a symbol of our Government. A government that has failed a great many of our People.

Can you blame them for wanting to take out their anger on what they perceive to be a "Symbol of the Government?"

People like this have no class and it is unfortunate that there is nothing that can be done as far as preventing such actions. This idiot is free to follow Eric Sheppard the idiot and all the other idiots who want spew idiotic rhetoric like that. It's guaranteed in the constitution we swore to support and defend. I feel the same way you do SGT Neil Chandler, it hurts like hell to see some one trample the very symbol of our country. Foreign countries that do it, I can tolerate because they're mainly all members of "I Hate America Clubs, International" but people like this, it's just maddening. Only thing we can do out of respect for the flag and our occupation is to politely offer to properly dispose of the flag after they are done with it.

People like this want attention!! Stop giving it to them! Continuing to share the picture on multiple social media sources is just satisfying their intent more and more. They want to be seen and heard, and will stop at nothing to achieve that.

I think "consider the source" is a good mantra.

This is very sad and sickening to see. Plus this is actually a crime. -Ref. U.S. Code 18, Part 1, CH 33, Sec 700(a)1. Punishable with up to 1 year in prison or fines imposed.

It's the Michelin man's wife. Hope she isn't wearing high schools, she may strike gold...

The threats of physical harm in this thread, not protected by the 1st amendment...flag stomping, protected by the 1st amendment.
It blows my mind how people are so quick to threaten violence and name call when someone does something they don't like.

Yes SGT Neil Chandler I have seen it. As for what should be done, lets get creative. She doesn't particularly care for our flag so let her pick her country of choice you know the one with the prettiest colors, help her pack, put her on a ship, send it in the general direction of that nation get to about 25 miles from shore throw her and all of her baggage overboard and tell her to swim the rest of the way. So much for my .02

She needs maximum exposure. She is a goofy looking female specimen. I don't think she knows how to explain herself very well. I disagree with her, she is not telling people why she is dancing on the flag. I am assuming she is poorly educated and possibly unemployed. She probably assumes "white privilege" exists in American and blames her shortcomings in life on others and not herself. I doesn't hurt my feeling of what she is doing but if I was near her with a water hose I would spray her down and tell her she was too hot and had to be cooled down.

I saw this on my Facebook page earlier. I'm gonna leave the same meme here as I did the other.
