Ferguson burned because no one paid attention to the powder-keg that had been building up for a long time. It's a great example of what happens when the grievances of the public are totally ignored and dismissed by their local government.Understand something before you go any further, none of you pays the slightest attention to a protest until someone burns a flag. It has been said that mass protests are the voice of the unheard. If someone has to burn a flag to make you take notice it says something about you as well as them. Pay more attention to what is bothering your fellow Americans, quit treating them like second class citizens or worse, quit telling them they are not worthy of our American values and rights and the rare occurrence of flag burning will simply go away.His main points are retarded, like anyone who feels oppressed by what society finds acceptable he wants to say horrible things and no one gets mad.You have freedom of speech and can say whatever the fuck you want but the rest of America, also having free speech, can call you an asshole for your asshole opinions. You want the right to be a dick and there never be any repercussions, that is not how the 1st amendment works.
Yet you failed to address his main points.
"oppressed by what society finds acceptable"
You're assuming all "society" is liberal. They're the only ones that find the desecration of our national symbol and bibles "acceptable. Since SCOTUS has ruled it free speech, it has to be "tolerated". Most Republicans and military personnel find the practice unacceptable and deeply offensive.
We all understand that there is no right to not be offended, However, if Liberal sensitives are bruised offense is taken, and there will be seven shades of hell to pay in one form or another.
So no one paid attention while Ferguson burned?
