LSU Student Opts Not to Burn U.S. Flag

A student’s plans to burn an American flag on the LSU campus were cut short when thousands of combative counter demonstrators arrived on scene, prompting police to escort the student to safety.

Crowds wearing red, white and blue and chanting “U-S-A” threw water balloons and ice at Benjamin Haas, a communication studies graduate student, while he tried to read a prepared statement in front of an estimated crowd of 1,500 to 2,500 students and community members.

Haas publicized the event on Facebook and obtained a permit for peaceful protest from the university, according to LSU Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard. But when he found out he also needed a burn permit from the city to set fire to a flag, he decided to read a statement instead – but the rival protesters still would not let up.

Well done to the students who prevented this outrage. At least the American youth seem to be having a huge mindset change.

This was filmed by my wife's cousin. At around the 330 mark I laughed my ass off> Someone in the crowd screams out "Let the horse shit on him!"

One of the Marines who the series "Generation Kill" was based on said it best. His statement; "There it is folks, we're sitting over here fighting for your freedoms. You got the right to say whatever you want. We got the right to punch you in your fucking mouth if we disagree."
