ANTIFA ARRESTED FOR BURNING US FLAG - Video

Russian Federation, and no, wearing mask is not prohibited, BUT. When I was going on rally in March 26, first of all in one of videos of rally organisers been stated, that participants should abstain from wearing any sort of mask, and generally avoid confrontation with police. I know there have been detainments never the less... It is kinda tricky. On one hand, rally was not been exactly ratified, on other the alternative location been presented too late, on third it generally was done in original location anyway out of stubborness... Yet point is - no masks, no serious fights, and absolutely no flamable cocktails. As result, on the other hand - people been coming there even with children, and whole action went so civil, I am not sure that foreign media even noticed it. I guess some people thought it is normal that an enormous crowd of people with pickets and rubber ducks filled one of streets near Kremlin and got surronded with police from half of the capital. I even saw National Guard there... ...but I am slipping into offtopic. Point being - we were going to send a non-violent message, non-criminal message, and we went with our faces open because of that.

 

Actually he was responding to me. I asked what he was charged with. Because all the people freaking out claiming he was arrested for flag burning may be over reacting. It could be something like burning without a permit or endangering public safety.

 

Starting fires in a public space.

 

Fair enough. The observation about the intolerant left is still quite valid though. I suppose that the more basic observation is that truly, for progressive minded folks, the belief truly is that laws are not actually meant for them. Why? Because they "believe" that what they are engaging in is righteous. So, must like the evangelical crowd, they feel sanctified in their actions.

 

Property damage. Why do those cowards always go after the American flag anyways? And why do you support damaging someone else's property?

 

zero issues with non violent protests.

Things have gotten quite crazy here in the US lately, i'm fortunate to live away from the BIG cities so things are pretty quiet around my city. Actually quiet is an understatement, we pretty much don't protest a single thing, ever, in my area. The only times groups get together is for positive or support rally's, the last one I remember was years ago with the Tea Party thing, and there were no counter protesters, just a few news camera's and a bunch of flag waving people, it was all good.

Not my thing personally, I try to avoid large crowds, especially these days where it seems like things get out of hand quickly so I'd rather stay as far away as possible.

 

Well since it got an unAmerican flag burner arrested, I'm glad it was used in the context it was. The more ways we find to get these unruly anti-Trump thugs off the street and stop their unwarranted violence, the better. If someone feels threatened by a liberal in sunglasses then I'm all for that liberal removing his sunglasses. You people can no longer be trusted as a peaceful crowd, that went by the wayside over a year ago.

 

Honestly, I can't say much about such protests in the USA ... but inly for my own country a little bit.
I saw 2 examples of violent demonstrations from the ANTIFA / Left where on first the Police started any violence without reason and where on the second some Idiots of the ANTIFA / Left corner started suddenly violence by throwing stones and bottles and fire works etc. against only guarding police officers. So...

 

These people are NOT antifascist. They ARE fascists. I want to know why these uber libs are not working. Why don't they have jobs? They don't contribute-----they just destroy!

 

Fascism is a form of rule and apparent ideology, which was common in many European countries, particularly in the first half of the 20th century. Fascist systems were dictatorships, their representatives and their supporters were opposed to democracy. There was only one political party (other parties were prohibited), massive terror and violence against dissidents, no freedom of opinion and no free press. Many political opponents and opponents of fascism were imprisoned, tortured and murdered.
With this definition, which is at least acknowledged, any dictatorship of the left and right political camp can be described as fascism .... even communists are (also) fascists.

 

I am pretty much sure man that burned flag have owned it. It's much easier to buy prop, than to steal it.

 

Can't stand knowing that the violent KKK back then consisted of all Democrats, can you... You can call the KKK the GOP today, that's fine, and that's why they're not violent anymore. Kinda reiterates the point. Democrats are always the violent ones.

 

They're not criminals, yet, Ninian. Normally when you show up in a mask, you're only doing so because you're prepared to break the law and not get caught.

 

I didn't see any Conservatives... I believe that was a DNC march in New York City. Those boys weren't Conservative, OR Southern... Imagine that.

 

Liberals have always been infatuated with these little "secret" groups of tyranny. Not knowing the membership only adds to the fear these groups breed in the rest of the public. ANTIFA terrorists do so now so many years from now, in a job interview, the HR or hiring manager isn't able to find their image on line and ask, "so.... when you were participating in this riot......"

 

You're from Massachusetts, right? I swear, if you had bad grammar, you would be my best friend up there. You two are just alike and he's former Army, he was a sniper. Hell y'all probably know each other. Two Republicans, one tiny liberal state. I think the only other Conservative there is @RichT2705

 

The KKK wasn't conservative? They they were liberals?

 

There's only ONE reason anyone would show up in public with their face covered, when it's not Halloween. You're planning on doing something wrong. Why else would you hide your identity? Shouldn't you be PROUD?

 

Sniper? I know a guy who went to Sniper school who lives in Mass. I don't know if he passed though. He's from Mansfield.

I currently just moved (again) to the DC metro area. Born raised in mass though

 

Did you miss the post where a guy set himself and another person on fire doing this at the GOP convention?

So you are totally ok if I come to your house and start lighting **** up in the middle of your living room? You won't do anything to stop my right? What's your address? You don't want to look like a hypocrite do you?

 

Matter of fact, wasn't that the same march that happened when Trump's dad got arrested, and later released for not being involved, after some klansmen got violent near Trump's house? I specifically remember liberals saying Donald Trump is racist because his dad was arrested with the klan in the early 20's.

 

And BLM, surprised those thugs haven't been mentioned yet.

 

Always an excuse to let your fellow people off even when they are and were racists. Nothing changed with Byrd from the time he was in the KKK to the time he died, he even remained a democrat. Forrest denounced the KKK in his last years as well, but you people still want him exhumed and removed because y'all say he was a racist.

Never forget Clinton's ties and love for Byrd.



But of course, that was before the progressives came along and claimed the Confederate Flag was racist. Back then it still accurately represented the South and the people in the South.

 

To the people who are OK with this flag burning and face masks, what would you say if the tea party had a rally where they all wore masks and burned Mexican flags, gay pride flags or the flags of Muslim countries?

You know exactly what would happen.

 

Rally organizers won't forbid masks. This has become a staple of the violent protesters. Asking them not to wear masks would be like asking them to protest something meaningful.
