I'm expecting riots that will kill at least 16 tomorrow once word gets out that something like this was desecrated.

Gee what is it with you conservatives tonight? Are you clueless as to what constitues a NEWS thread? What is the point of this post? I watched all 5 mintues and found nothing to call home about. The stood on the US flag and at the end the ripped it up.

That != News

The title of the forum is "Politics and News". This is definitely a political issue.

If your perverted twist on this is to compare the desecration of a flag to someones religion...get a grip..

The flag is not a religion no matter how much nationalist propaganda frenzy rush o'lielly has whipped you all into.

That kind of thinking is downright dangerous.

So you're back? The break is over?

So they ripped up a US flag? I think Americans who would be angry about this get their bloodlust satisfied when they see stuff like shock and awe, so no need to riot. It's when you don't have a state outlet for violence that you get bloody demonstrations (like early Americans and the Brits).

The flag isn't you're religion but you should respect you're flag you don't have to though.I'm Cuban I dislike the idiot we got running our island to the ground but I won't burn the Cuban flag I have too much respect for it.I guess it's all in how you see it and wether you care for you're background or you don't its a personal choice.Either way those guys are idiots though they aren't helping their religion at all.

Just on hold with Dell and came across the interesting video. So you don't think American's will riot and kill 16 tomorrow?

I agree, to accept violence over perceived religious offenses is downright dangerous thinking.

Nope. They have an outlet already.

I see - the outlet is the key? Those without an outlet can't help themselves?

Not the people that riot IMHO.

Remember when people dumped French wine in the street? If the US had been attacking France I bet they wouldn't have felt the need to be outraged symbolically.
