BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Several hundred people gathered on the LSU campus Wednesday and effectively stopped an LSU grad student from burning an American flag on campus.
The student announced Tuesday that he intended to burn the flag. The announcement set off a wave of angry protests on Facebook and talk radio stations.
As the student approached the Parade Grounds at LSU Wednesday, students chanted, "USA! USA!" One man yelled, "My brothers died for you!"
Several people tossed water balloons and water bottles at the man. The graduate student was then escorted away by LSU Police. The flag burning did not occur.

Water balloons? Sure they had water in them?

See this is my thing.
This guy has the right to burn the flag.
He also has the right to endure consequences for doing so. People forget that even though you may have the right to do something, those something still have repercussions.
-
Anyone who would burn the flag is an butthole.
-
I served under this flag-I have shed my blood for this flag. I don't mean to offend anyone but he should have the right to burn the flag. You can't have freedom without freedom's.
Is it offensive-yes-but Is he not just expressing his rights? My right to kick his ass is all so covered.
America-His right to burn the flag (Possible consequences )
Me-Kicking his ass (Possible consequences ) getting caught.

Yep. And if I'm there with you, I'll swear to God that he swung first.

And by the looks of things, you'll have about 1000 witnesses backing your story.

Agree with the above, but of course the other side has the right to their opinion and to express it. And like you guys, they were about to open some hippie stompin' whoop ass which is why the cops escorted this guy away.
You would think a communications major could find a better way of getting his message out.

The Koran would have been better.

Agree, they should have let him burn it if he was safe. If they are throwing shit at him, so be it...he asked for it.

Well said.

The lie words "Honest to God Mr. Officer, he swung first and we were just trying to break it up" have come from me before.......Ahh good times.

Thankls-but don't want you lying. He would never get a chance to swing.
Retired Military vs Pussy-liberal- flag burning- punk motherfucker.

I hear that is part of it but I think your mouth is open as well.

You know this is nothing more than some stupid pathetic attempt by this loser to gain some sort of future resume fodder/street cred for whatever pinko commie liberal organization he tries to work for when he can't get a real job with his useless choice of degree. "Oh, I tried to stand up to American militarism by burning a flag at LSU once. See the violence inherent in the system!! Help, help I was being repressed!!"
-
Don't taze me bro
