I didn't watch more than a few mintues... but it does seem very typical. Unfortunately.


Because their oath is to the Constitution, not the flag, and there is this little thing in the Constitution called the First Amendment that protect the freedom of speech.

I'm not aware of anything in the Constitution that allows one citizen to confiscate the property of another citizen and burn it because they disagree with the manner in which the other person is exercising their First Amendment rights.


The Officer's that control the theater rost lives in pay no heed to such petty, trivial nonsense.
