Illegals ... well hell, read the damn story

Backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.

God they're stupid.

EDIT:
My dad just mentioned to me (& made me realize) that the post office is a federal institution (I knew it, just didnt realize what this meant)....

These fuckers are literally ATTACKING the United States of America!
Why didn't the police open fire and defend our country!?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

It's symbolic.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Well, it is against the law, and they also assaulted the police officers.  I think the police officers would have been justified using a bit of force to keep things under control.
errr... something like that...

Stepping on the flag isn't illegal. It's frowned uppon. But, I belive it's in the same boat as burning the flag.  "Free speach."

To burn the flag is to take it out of it's disgrace, thus honoring it. Completely different boat. But yes, protected speech.

It depends on the situation... I doubt many people would find spontaneously lighting a flag on fire honorable.

Unfortunately, that is correct. However, they didn't own the flag..so in essence it was vandalism of government property. (And theft if they kept it after replacing it.) Also, their riht to assemble ended when it wasn't peaceful anymore - the police should have been slapping some handcuffs.

You normally burn a flag only after it has touched the ground IIRC.

Found this article if it helps any.

Shoot the dirty rotten foreigners. I hate them.
QFT to an extent.
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

That's the kicker.  A high school student in the area here was charged with misdemeanor arson after students replaced the US flag with a Mexican flag over the ROTC building twice, after which the student burned the Mexican flag.

It was most definitely vandalism.
