They died protecting freedom, not so politicians could pass laws diminishing freedom. If you need laws to compel people to respect something then you dont understand respect.
Respect is earned. I don’t respect shitheads that burn out flag just because they can. They should consider the feelings of other people and their families that have made the ultimate sacrifice.
I agree with what you just said but you think people should be put in a cage because other peoples feelings were hurt and I would call that mental illness.
