To add to this, if the guy's crime is punching a flag burner in the face, I'd vote to acquit him too.Hey, if a guy is burning a flag, and another guy punches him in the face, I’m going to chuckle and keep walking.
If I’m on a jury and the guy’s crime is “burning the flag,” I won’t convict.
I disagree with the act, but know it is, and forever should be, protected speech.
