It is legal. In fact it is the only acceptable way to dispose of them when they become old and worn.

I see some people assume this is some sort of protest. I have attended several flag burnings. We usually have two a year here in town. It is always a very dignified event. A dozen or more Boy Scouts burning flags for people. It is a public service rendered by the troops, disposing of worn out flags.

Unfortunately, burning the United States flag is considered "speech" and protected under the 1st Amendment. This is such a tired, old stunt, what a shame your moronic friends can not come up with something a bit more original. I mean, geeze, they were doing this in the 1960's!

Legal...free speech and a legitimate form of protest against the government.

Not illegal. It is the proper way to dispose of a flag.

It's legal. You'll upset people but hopefully this IS still America. The wacko rt wingers are out to destroy our rights. They don't like free speech when they don't agree.
