y dont you google flag burning before talking shit out yo ass, heres 1 fact that you said that is cover on the amendment
Please type in complete sentences. I can't make heads or tails of what the hell you just said.
It is obvious that you do NOT have the ability to comprehend what you read. Look at the FIRST paragraph on the page you provided (all bold emphasis is mine.)
Although the U.S. Supreme Court has twice
invalidated state flag laws, 47 states
still have on the books laws, many modeled after the Uniform Flag Law of 1917, that prohibit the
desecration of the flag
or its use for
advertising and publicity purposes.
First off it has already been established that the
HIGHEST court in the land has
TWICE invalidated state laws. Knowing this to be true,
ANYONE who is prosecuted for flag burning will most likely escape the charges until congress ok's the bill or someone creates a new ammendment. Also, just because something is still on the books does
NOT mean it will be enforced. Corporal punishment was not repealed in Delaware until 1972, and did you see people being flogged? NO! Second, you have the problem with DESECRATION and its definition. Also, the reason WHY flag burning is deemed "illegal" in various states is due to ARSON and PROPERTY laws. Finally, if a person is thrown in jail because of flag burning, where does that leave those who are using the flag for advertising or publicity purposes (as stated by the Uniform Flag Law.)
y would you wanna go to jail over stupid shit anyways
People have gone to jail for far less serious things. Rosa Parks went to jail for not giving her seat to a white man. If you have EVER had STRONG convictions pertaining to anything remotely important (I seriously doubt you have), you would understand why someone would want to go to jail for it.
that you could of just kept your mouth shit about or just did a different way of protesting.
Yes, thats it:
"why yes massa, I be a good ole boy and bees keepin mah mouth shut jus becuz you dont be likens da way ah be protestin dat der opreshun n dem laws"
now bring your damn proof of the guy that he actually got away with burning the flag and not freedom of speech i wanna see that.
I don't understand your question because it is a run on sentence. However, if you had read the different pages on the link you provided you would have come acoss this:

If this is NOT what you want, I ask that you CLARIFY your question so I may answer it to the best of my ability/knowledge.
btw go ask some army vets what they think of the america flag of it means to them, then about flag burning.
I asked my father. He will get a flag when he dies and they will place one on his casket or give it to my mom. Here are his EXACT words:
"BURN THAT SONOFABITCH! I WAS A FOOL FOR FIGHTING IN THE WAR, AND IF I HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND ME TO PRISON. "
I asked one my brothers and he said:
"Fuck the flag, if they give me one I'll get out of my coffin and burn that shit myself."
I asked the guy three houses down and he said:
"Burn the flag? Hell BURN THIS COUNTRY!"
I asked the guy around the corner (a hardcore marine) and he said:
"They left me for dead."
Anything else you want me to do?
better read that again and think about it kid, it doesnt say im saying you should leave. quit agruing on something that isnt there.
You are INSANE. It doesn't say you are saying people should leave? Here are your EXACT words!!
go find a country that is better
That came from YOU, ass! You typed that, and NOW you are making the claim that you did not mean they should leave? If you are not saying flag burners should leave what the hell are you saying?
Also, why is it that you have FAILED to answer the questions posed to you? Again, if the flag has a negative meaning to certain people and is a symbol of oppression, why SHOULD they leave? Why shouldn't they express themselves?
In closing, the HIGHEST court of the land has ruled in favor of flag burners. Until the constitution is ammended flag burning will continue, and those who are prosecuted will simply cite the sumpreme court ruling and be on their way to burning more flags! DEAL WITH IT!
