Flag burners get attacked by bikers[W:634]

Weenies burn flag to protest cops, get attacked by bikers, need cops to save their asses | New York Post



Now they probably*love*the cops.

A group of flag-burning anti-NYPD protesters needed New York’s Finest to save their skin from a gang of angry bikers who tried to pummel them in a Brooklyn park for setting Old Glory ablaze Wednesday.

The fiery stunt by a few dozen members of the group Disarm the Police led to a chaotic scene at about 8 p.m. in Fort Greene Park, when the activists enraged 40 members of the Hallowed Sons Motorcycle Club by roasting the flag on a tiny barbecue grill.

“They took off like little b—hes,” said one biker. “They lit the f–king flag and took off running once they got slapped once or twice.”

The anarchists had announced on social media that they had planned to burn the flag in protest of NYPD policies, drawing a large group of flag-waving counterprotesters, including the bikers.

While it’s illegal to openly burn anything in Fort Greene Park, the self-styled anarchists managed to find a loophole in the law that allows cooking in closed barbecue grills.

Thus, they started to roast the flag, but they didn’t burn it for long. One of the bikers rushed forward in a fit of rage and kicked over the grill, sending embers flying. He then doused it as members of the pro-flag crowd chanted “USA! USA!”

The bikers then started trying to rough up the protesters — who were quickly saved by members of the same police force that they criticize.

The protesters were shielded by the cops and escorted out of the park.

“I served in the Marines,” said counterprotester Brian Christopher, 23. “We defend this flag. We are ready to die for it. When I see people burning it and showing complete ignorance, it’s very offensive.”

No arrests were made in the scuffle, and the group’s flag-burning stunt went up in smoke.

I would like to see PETA-tards get beaten up by bikers for throwing paint on their leather jackets. Now that would be funny to see. Or flag burners catching themselves on fire would also be funny.
 
It's no suprise to see DP's right wingers glorifying violence.

The only thing that would please them more was if the victims were black or illegal immigrants

Many Americans feel personally attacked when some asshole burns the American flag. Why should these attacks on this country be pleasant for the flag burners?

For the past fifty years, the politicians have been too anxious to find the right to destroy America a positive thing, an admirable goal to be respected, regardless of how the majority feel about it. It's time the America haters found out how we feel about them. I salute the biker's actions in this event.

I don't. The freedom of speech/expression, both the constitutional protection and the concept, should be about as inviolate as it's possible to get. The only acceptable and intelligent way to combat speech you don't like is with more speech, not with violence or other tactics designed to silence those who disagree with you.

These bikers didn't do anyone any favors with their actions.

Yep, sure does seem to be a theme in many threads here.

I'm more pleased about the victims being political thought police. I have no especial problem with minority groups.

Well at least they don't make a lifestyle out of it like the protesters do. I wouldn't hesitate to say that a lot of political thought police deserve the death penalty. They got off light.

Get any necessary permit and do what you want.

Of course your irrelevant attempt at comparing the two is noted. Burning a flag has been a prelude to someone's views on the country and violence ends up happening to them. While burning a cross in front of someone's house has been more a prelude to violence perpetrated by those burning the cross.

I've never seen any of it.

All I see is a culture of psychological and physical violence agitated and perpetrated by the political thought police. All the minority physical violence is encouraged by the political thought police.

Admittedly I do see a lot of passive bigotry from the majority. I don't know why they have to target minorities instead of the thought police themselves. Just gutless, I guess.

But these bikers got it right. They fought back against the perpetrators instead of playing into their hands and being racist.

Yes, the right wing does encourage a culture of psychological and physical violence. As I said earlier, violence is a lifestyle for the right

I don't know about that. All I know is I've never seen physical violence from the right. The right is economically violent and bigoted, yes, but not physically.

But from the left I see bullying, menacing, mobbing and inciting violence from minorities each and every day.

Don't get me wrong. There's a massive amount of passive bigotry from the right wing majority too, but that's their undoing. If they want to keep picking on individuals because they are different then they deserve to die out.

But these bikers had the nerve to face the enemy.

I'll assume you mean in your lifetime and not historically.

That being said, you've never heard about an abortion Dr being murdered?

Not to mention you are implementing politics where it isn't in play. You cite violence from minorities because of how you think they vote and not noting that the violence isn't politically motivated at all.

BTW... Burning a piece of cloth makes one the enemy?

It's current aggressors that count, not boogiemen of history. Unless you've got a time machine.

Yes, burning the flag as a protest against police brutality Does make them the enemy. The reason being that they obviously have an alternate agenda. They are using instances of police brutality to further their own agenda. It's creepy stuff like that which is making this society unbearable.

Police brutality will still exist after the destruction of the nation state.

So its not just some morons acting childish that you disagree with... They are "The enemy" with an alternate agenda of such villinous proportions that you dare not even mention it.

Divide and conquer away.

I guess since it is common knowledge that flag burning can the flag burner harmed; the intention was to incite violence.
