Our Supreme Court has ruled flag burning to be free speech. It's just a piece of cloth and a Chinese made one at that.
Go burn a flag in front of the VFW.
The Supreme Court won't be there to protect your right to free speech.
A soldier probably will. He has done it before even for people who hate him for what he is.
Who said anything about the military? Why don't you just admit you don't support free speech.

I'd like to go to a Trump rally and wait for the anti-Trumpers to start burning the American flag.

Well according to leftist media anyone not supporting Trump is a Hillary supporter based on the polls right? If so, then those people are Hillary supporters. They already embrace the blatant corruption of our government , so why would it be a big deal spitting on Trump supporters?

So you agree with their actions?
I would go about protesting differently. I would not jump on any car. But it doesn;t appear anyone was hurt.
It was uncalled for, disrespectful, and how does anyone know that the people spitting didn't have hep C or some other communicable disease.
Absolutely disgusting behavior!
Q: Is spitting on someone a crime?
A: QUICK ANSWER Spitting on someone is a crime as it is a form of battery, according to FindLaw. Battery occurs when there is a harmful or offensive contact made. To determine if an act falls under the crime of battery, the incident is viewed from the point of an ordinary person.
CONTINUE READING KEEP LEARNING Is spitting on someone illegal? Is it illegal to watch or post full TV episodes on YouTube? Is phone tapping legal? FULL ANSWER Generally, the intent to harm someone is not a requirement to commit battery, notes FindLaw. This means that even if the person who spits on someone did not mean to cause harm, the act can still qualify as a battery. Additionally, no physical injury has to occur for a battery to occur. In some states, spitting on someone falls under assault-and-battery charges since the two closely related crimes have been combined into a single charge in those states, explains FindLaw. On top of those criminal charges, spitting on someone may result in civil action.

Ya, let's start shooting protesters when they jump on a car. great idea there.
Maybe not shoot but a good ass kicking BY SOMEONE ABLE TO FIGHT BACK, just might get their attention along with a ride with the EMS.
