Police Arrest Facebook Flag Burner, Ignore Death Threats Against Him
An Illinois man was arrested after posting pictures of himself burning the American flag to Facebook. Apparently nobody told these officers that the Supreme Court has ruled this protected free speech. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A young man who wasn’t feeling very patriotic this 4th of July weekend decided to burn an American flag and tell the world about it on Facebook — only to get arrested the next day after neighbors complained.
Bryton Mellott, 22, of Urbana, Illinois, was taken into custody Monday after police received calls about his Facebook posts, which included a picture of him setting the Stars and Stripes on fire and a message explaining that he was “not proud to be an American.”
“In this moment, being proud of my country is to ignore the atrocities committed against people of color, people living in poverty, people who identify as women, and against my own queer community on a daily basis,” Mellott wrote in a Facebook post that appears to have since been taken down.

What an absurd, evil and tedious govt we have.
If he hates America so much, then get him a passport to… oh, Congo?
Then he can see if he can outrun the two-legged, well tanned lions that will EAT him.
Or maybe drop him into General Buck Nakeds camp…where he can explain PC to them.
Just another stupid sot that didn’t get the spankings when he needed them.
Forget the “Butt Naked”.
Been awhile, but just Goolied him.
Seems like he might have changed a bit.
Overall jist of above though stands.
good!
