>Let's burn the American flag instead

The response will be armed

You will not be Shot unless you tried to harm someone first

You will be yelled at, called names, and maybe at most hit across the head

They will try to stop you, put out the fire, and prevent you from burning the flag

They will not shoot you dead...



You're saying that I should expect to be assaulted and arrested in response to an exercise of free speech. That's a fail.

If I persist, or defend myself, as people attempt to stop me, are you positive that I wouldn't get shot by some trigger-happy kid like Kyle Rittenhouse?


And what happens if I physically intervene to stop them from putting out my flag?


Honestly, depends what state you are in and if defending property is legal.
