A bit of one, but as far as public safety issues go, this specific case pretty low on the list.

And again: *even Rick Monday* didn’t claim it was an issue of public safety. Trying to say that’s the primary focus is absurd to say the least.

Thank you Rick. It’s always inspiring to see a fellow American stand up for his country in an epic act of patriotism.
God bless you and God bless America.

Great story, but how do you know they were muslims?

I did some checking only found that they were “protesters.”… it didn’t say they were muslim anywhere.

Not saying you’re wrong, just like to get the facts straight before recommending this to friends.

Thanks,
Josh

Someone else also asked about this in a previous comment so I’ll just copy and paste once again: ‘They were indeed both muslims, father and son confirmed by an off duty police officer in attendance at the game who went to the security room where the two were taken for interrogation after the incident.’

“So why did the two fans decide to make a rush for the field and attempt to incinerate the flag? The father, a 37-year-old man named William Errol Thomas from Eldon, Missouri, explained that he had decided to stage a protest because his wife was being held illegally against her will in a mental institution. Aside from public ridicule, Thomas incurred minimal legal punishment for his actions. He was fined $60 for trespassing and placed on probation for a year.”

How do you feel about hate crimes, forbidden use of certain words on college campuses? Those laws are already in place and being enforced as we speak. They get little air time and even less debate. That great pillar is being chipped at very quietly at this very moment all across college campuses in America.

True. Flag burning goes on all the time at colleges. All the time. Mommy and Daddy pay tuition to have junior get indoctrinated and become a future automaton. Sad.
