Amusement in America: "Give Us Back the Flag So We Can Stomp On It Some Mo"

Possession is not nine tenths of the law.

And if somebody throws down a flag and stomps on it and treats it like garbage...YOU can't pick it up. Because, er, uh, even though they threw it away, it's still...THEIR PROPERTY.

Example? A bunch of blacks decided to desecrate the flag. You pick the reason. They weren't getting enough welfare. They were remembering Trayyyyvon. They want Whitney Houston's birthday to be declared a national holiday.

Free speech? Sure. But what happens when you take a flag and throw it down? Trample it? When does it cease being your property and is instead, garbage?

Well, a white woman picked up the tattered flag and the cops said "it's not your property, give it back so it can be thrown around like garbage some more."

According to the cops, if someone throws down your flag, and trashes it, it's not trash. It's still "private property." Ha Ha.

I wonder, when you set fire to somebody's flag, how long do you restrain the fire department from putting out the flames? When does it stop being "private property" and start being a fire hazard?

And what if a black person picked up the tattered flag and walked off with it? Would the cops have said that was ok...as long as it wasn't a white woman?

Three ox-like cops end up demanding that a babe give back a flag on the ground...so blacks can amuse themselves by stomping on it some more. So they end up wrestling her to the ground, handcuffing her and arresting her.

You can bet that if a bunch of KKK assholes tossed down a picture of Martin Luther King and stomped on it, once a black woman got her hands on that photo, that would be it. "It's her property now. You threw it down, you redneck jackasses. The show's over."

Judgment call? Well, first off, cops are not lawyers. Usually they have no idea what the law is. Except that the law gives THEM the right to do most everything, and "false arrest" is very hard to prove, especially when the cops can hide behind vague things like "disturbing the peace."

This woman is no redneck. At least, she's pretty tan...a nude model who posed for PETA, after all. She seems to be reasonable, and stepping in to pick a flag OFF THE GROUND is a lot different from trying to grab it away from somebody.

I'm not saying there aren't legit gripes, but more often than not, "protest" is just "amusement" in America. It's done by assholes with nothing better to do, and a real enjoyment of being able to "legally" be loud and obnoxious in public.

"Wanna go protest?" "Sure!" Whether it's the hippies, the PETA people, the blacks, the Muslims...they rush to the scene grinning and excited, happily showing off their clever slogans, taking selfies, taking pix of each other, and generally behaving like they're at a rock concert or a football game.

All this babe did, apparently, was pick up a discarded flag. She was told to give it back. You could find many a lawyer who'd say, "You throw something down, you've thrown it away. FINDERS KEEPERS."

The fact is, if the blacks (or whoever) walked around with signs, this babe would've not wrestled a sign away from any of 'em. And if she tried, it would've been a legit reason for her arrest.

It's interesting that "amusement" and "disgust" are often present at the same protest...and the animal cops make a judgment call based on their own bias and on what'll look better on the news. Here, of course it looks better for COPS to stand up for BLACKS than to let a woman walk away with a tattered flag.

How often are there two groups of idiots protesting for or against something...and one group ends up arrested because THEIR shouts were deemed "disturbing the peace" and the other SHOUTS were not?

Meanwhile, the comments for an article like this?

Advice to the blacks...next time you get sullen about something, and want to symbolically take down the entire fucking country (because all of America is shit, even the America that elected Obama, the America that made Oprah a billionaire, the America that insists no movie or TV show can exist without a black co-star...) set FIRE to the fucking flag. That's the best way to make sure nobody can pick it up and carry it away.
