Do Not Rub The American Flag On Your Crotch!

Don't EVER rub the American flag on your crotch and make lewd suggestions about what you want to do to it.  Especially not in Florida.

Now, I don't care how sad, sorry and criminal you know think President Bush and Vice President Dick are… I know, believe me I know.  Take a look over at Joe Hack's blog if you want to rant and rave all day about politics and how corrupt things *really* are… But, I'm not talking about the administration.  This is about our FLAG.  It stands for our freedom.  Yours and mine.  Let's show some respect for those who have fought and died for our freedom in the US.

A Florida man is in jail on a $500 bond for mutilating the flag.  You thought it was free speech to burn the flag and mutilate it however you want?  Not in Florida.  As far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be allowed ANYWHERE.  Go ahead and trash our president, he's the most hated in history, but don't take it out on our symbol of freedom.

In Florida if you mutilate, deface, trample or burn a flag with the intention of insulting it, that's a first-degree misdemeanor.

Donnie White dragged a flag down the street, stomped it, rubbed it on his body and put it down his pants – at a shopping center!  Someone called 911 and I bet they thought he was cracked out or something… Police came and arrested him for publicly mutilating the flag.  If convicted he'll face a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

That's IF he's convicted, a big IF.  While this man just wanted to cause a commotion and offend people he's opened a large can of worms.  People will use this case to argue about constitutional rights.

I doubt this is the last we hear about Donnie White.
