Ladies and Gentlemen, I pose a point to you.

According to US Code, Title 18, Chapter 33 - § 700. Titled Desecration of the flag of the United States; (a)(1), “Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.”

What will it take to have our elected officials and law enforcement officials actually enforce this?

CW3 Eric W. S., hey Battle, it doesn't mean anything to the ungrateful so-called Americans who don't have common sense and respect for the symbol of our great nation and everything that it stands for. As for enforcement, that might be tricky. In my opinion, it shouldn't be hard to enforce, but I've seen worse things go un-punished too.

It should not be tricky, there are hundreds of videos on YouTube of people stomping the flag, there are countless individuals on Facebook burning it as well. All it takes is someone to stand up for the rights of the American citizen and quit cowering down to special interest groups and the fringe minority that wish to disgrace the flag that every service member has served under and which every American pledges allegiance to...

You can blame the Supreme Court who ruled it was free speech to be able do do all that is listed. What is funny to me most of the ignorant people who step on the Flag and descrate it for there protest saying this is not their country. Love using the Constitution and our laws to protect them.

Not any more, a few years back the supreme court said desecrating the flag was covered under the first amendment. But hey if they dont like it they can leave, which of course they will never do because almost everywhere else is crap.
