President Trump proposes one-year jail sentences for burning American flags and claims he's working with Congress on legislation, though flag burning remains constitutionally protected

The Supreme Court has previously struck down similar legislation as unconstitutional

    People should be allowed to burn the flag. I do consider it fighting words though. So if someone else kicked the shit out of them. I wouldn’t care but the police shouldn’t be arresting people over it.

        Cops can’t be everywhere. Fighting words are not protected under the 1st amendment. We need to move back to a polite society. Part of why society is failing is we allow people to annoy other people which holistically wasn’t allowed.
