A man who identified himself as a 20-year combat veteran was arrested after setting fire to an American flag in front of the White House – just hours after President Donald Trump signed an executive order pushing for strict penalties for desecrating the flag. https://cnn.it/3JrC3RP
He’s got the Supreme Court and the Constitution behind him
what actual law did dude break
Either Americans stand up and fight to save the constitution or they back down in fear of Trump. What is it to be?
Trump was spoiling for a fight well he now he has got one - the American constitution v Dictatorship.
There you see an American hero. Christ knows what has happened to the rest of you.
That’s false arrest and now I’m waiting for the follow up lawsuit
Arrested by the Secret Service, another branch of Dictator Trump's personal army..
He was released just a couple of hours from Park Police jurisdiction and charged with lighting a fire in a park. You can go to Jolly Good Ginger on any social media platform and see the videos and update directly from Vet. And Jolly.
Executive orders are not laws.
We'd all do good to remember this. All EOs undergo review. I can't see this EO passing unless the reviewers are his lackeys.
Why couldn't he have left that poor flag alone and set fire to Trump instead?
USA. Land of the free, lol. Such a laughing stock ATM. And you did it to yourselves.
What a great video The man is being arrested by a cop who doesn't look old enough to grow a beard
The current US President has converted politics to a social media spectacle.
Very true in other words a circus solely run by clowns.
trump is to blame for this! that should be this veteran's defense-trump made him do it & this man is non-violently expressing his rejection of trumps "leadership"-disrespecting our military
This man deserves free legal representation.
Das ist ein ultimatives Dilemma, oder? Trump gegen die Konstitution - ein Kampf zwischen Macht und Recht. Wer wird gewinnen?
Executive orders are not laws.
In the early MAGA days, I suggested to a fellow Christian that the American flag had become an idol to many, and it had no place on our church altar. This was not well received.
I applaud him
川普是想把美國國旗永遠攥在他自己手裡
Remember when the Republicans covered up the Alzheimer's of Regan for years? Same with Trump.
Remember when Flint pushed back? Said that he had all the video tapes of the Republican senators? Woody played the part of Flint quite well. youtu.be/I_qRSeY2yQE?...
He’s so disingenuous.
“Stricter penalties” = false Patriotism.
I don’t know what branch of the military he served in but he’s demonstrating that our oath doesn’t end when we take off the uniform for the last time. Thank you. I hope more of us follow suit. ✊
Reportedly Army, 20 year. Happened last night and major media did not capture original footage. They were too busy fighting to be first for table scraps at the White House. Dogs. Nice to see someone picked it up. Make it viral Jay is a hero
I thought he gave off vibes of being Army. My people ✊
Not really
He was released 4 hours later. So much for Diddler's executive orders 🤣
He's a hero. As Trump destroys everything the flag stands for, burning one is a patriotic act of resistance against him. Burn the flag to show it doesn't stand for what it should. We need to TAKE AMERICA BACK!
Not really
its disrespectful to all soldiers who died for this country and he should know that being a vet.
He thinks differently from you. Is that a good reason to put him in jail?
liberal democrats wanted conservatives in jail for thinking differently from them, once again, liberals started cancel culture and no we use it. Enjoy.
Whatever you say. You know best. Let's get your enemies loaded up into the concentration camps, daddy-o.
cancel culture is fun, thanks for introducing it to us.
enjoy your moral relativism. there is no bottom to the pit you're falling in.
cancel culture started all of this, its their fault, now please move along.
so do you like cancel culture, or only when you do it? you're just a hypocrite.
yes
Have fun in the world where people can be put in jail for thinking differently. I'm sure it will be a blast.
Agree to disagree
What you are doing is childish, please grow up before you ruin your life
It wouldn't be me ruining my life, it would be a fascist. So, how do you propose we deal with the fascist and restore freedom to Americans?
say all you want here on the internet cause you can't harm anybody hear.
that's the plan
what fascism? Can you give examples?
I believe you're 'sea lioning'. So I wont engage with you due to that.
see you can't give examples because there is none, move on with your bellyaching.
no examples of fascism yet?
People just make things up because they can't deal with the truth, ineffectiveness has killed the democratic party.
People should be burning the America flag in the same exact way Brits are supporting Palestine Action. Publicly, in groups, proudly. In ceremonies pointing out it doesn't stand for freedom and America under Trump. And we need to TAKE AMERICA BACK. At the end of ceremonies raise an unburnt flag.
You sir, are an American HERO! You fought for the right to burn the flag in protest of a corrupt and CRIMINALLY INSANE, administration, headed by the most disgusting PEDOPHILE! Bless you! 💕🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
patriot
Great on him. I have been waiting for the Vets to lead the USA against this rogue President and corrupt administration. He needs some soldiers.
Trump is burning the flag and Constitution every minute of every day.
Thinking maybe he was arrested for starting a fire on the mall vs burning the flag. Hope that’s it because MAO Trump’s Executive Order is illegal. Hmmm can you be arrested for posting a picture of a burning US flag?? 🤨 Good for the guy for standing up to the injustice of the Trump regime! 🇺🇸
Good for him. 60yrs of #GOP #TREASON 1/2 a century of Reaganomics= Fascism. Where the born again deadbeat lazy draft dodging zombie confederate Nazis get a brain tumor, if they see reality. Or have more than one thought. Treasonous Anti American Republicans can’t recognize action. MAGA? #MorningJoe
The Order to criminalize flag burning collides with the Eichman ruling and the First Amendment. The Court once reminded us: the flag protects even those who hold it in contempt. When justice is rationed and dissent punished, patriotism becomes performance. Freedom isn’t fragile. It’s fireproof.
If you really wanted to wind up Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Miller, and MAGA, you'd burn the Confederate flag.
SCOTUS, POTUS, DOJ, AG, DoD, Senate GOP, Speaker, House GOP, and their minions are all playing fast and loose Calvinball with the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law, the separation of powers, our international reputation and the honor of our country! SAD! #ProtectTheConstitution🇺🇸
He should’ve hit a cop with it, felon 47 would’ve pardoned him.
Truth!
The world needs more straight forward articulate women like these two.
That means pretty intelligent, well thought out, doesn’t take corporate money, and offensive to tiny dick energy, right?!
All these cops are so quick to follow illegal orders.
Thankful for him and the lawsuit he’ll bring that will trample down Trump’s latest set of foolishness.
So you Americans he’s trying to send you a message
Good now he has standing to sue this stupid EO out of existence.

Exercising his First Amendment right, remember that?
A hero!
Flag burning is protected free speech under the 1st amendment according to the supreme court
Unconstitutional, wrongful arrest. Instant lawsuit, plaintiff wins.
CNN fails to mention in lede - EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT LAWS!
No President can make any law. And Congress shall make no law abridging ... Were this gentleman's exact words. Find full unedited from the bulwark.
The two cops ‘were just following orders.’
The cops are USSS Uniform division. Their only role is security of properties used by high profile vips. In other words, they came over from White House to make the arrest. Probably going to claim he was causing an immediate danger to atrump
Where is the executive order to lower the price of eggs and to release the Epstein filed with Pedofelon Trump’s name in them?
Resist 🦋
In 1989, Texas v Johnson protected symbolic speech (US flag burning). Even ultra- conservative Supreme Court Justice, Scalia, voted that flag burning was protected speech.
Let's also keep in mind this bullshit's purpose is also because he doesn't want us talking about #Epsteinfiles #Epstein

While not something I would ordinarily do...this man is making an important point about Trump and his Fascist Administration.
Isn’t putting your face on the American flag as Trump, also desecrating the flag?
I’ve always said, you can burn an American flag all you want, just don’t do it around me. My instincts to stomp out the fire might get out of control.
EO's are not law. Yet as America watches one more bit of the constitution is ignored. One man stood up. I am ashamed. We all should be ashamed as we go on about our day like nothings wrong. We should be in the streets, on hills with megaphones. Not riot, but make ourselves heard. Democracy is dead
Executive orders are not laws!
Thousands of people should do the same. See what happens then.
🫡
just because he signed it, doesn't make it right. He continues to think he can just make laws, he can NOT.
You made a typo in your text. It should be "A hero who ..."
Executive orders aren't laws. The Constitution allows for free expression, which includes flag burning.

Team Vet
Molestation of flags and couches is A OK in the orange pedophile regime.
Poor flag😩😫🤢
He was hallucinating that he was back on Epstein Island with his 13yr old cosplay French maid.
I was already wondering, whether this should also be considered desecrating the flag.
I mean that flag is lucky it doesn’t have a vagina.
And under 13yrs old.
No!
The flag is just a piece of cloth. Without an honorable country, the flag means nothing.
Trump did it! Trump infested this mans brain and ordered to burn USA flag! Trump is responsible for doing this! Trump Trump Trump!
Orders from the Orange Felon that don't follow proper process are illegal. Burning the flag is considered free speech by SCOTUS precedent.
Also, CNNs edit very nicely cuts out the National Guard troops watching this all go down. Their leaders have failed them so badly.
Good for him. I support this.
It’s not illegal. The felon just signed his autograph on one and the J6 traitors used them as weapons … 🤦🏻♀️

When are they going to arrest those truck driving tRumpers that fly tattered American flags, dragging in the dirt?
