I believe it is a legal right, yes.  But let me EVER catch someone doing it.  I will be in jail with a smile.

No political comments.  Holding my tongue.

is it a criminal offense to burn a national flag in the US?
No but it is an offense to destroy private property. He would still lose in the end.

Burning your own flag as a sign of protest is legal and protected by the constitution.

Burning the flag of someone else is just petty vandalism and a disgrace.

It is NOT a criminal offense becasue it's using your right to the first amendment.

You missed that it is someone elses flag.


Otherwise I could burn down your house to piss you off.  lol

So because of some low class folks they can buy a flag and burn it and still live here.

But if you burn down your own house, isn't that arson?
