Letter to the editor: DC protesters desecrated American flag

Tribune-Review
Tribune-Review

Was anyone else as upset to see our American flag so desecrated by the Capitol protesters as I was? I was so disappointed to see a group — many wanting to show love of country — show such total disregard for the laws that govern our beloved symbol.

Wearing the American flag as a cape is desecration. Images (like assault rifles) overlaying the flag is desecration. Taking down the American flag, and leaving it on the ground, to hang a Trump flag? Desecration. Flying Confederate and Nazi flags above the American flag is a major desecration.

And finally, while this act is not specifically mentioned in the federal laws and guidelines, I am going to assume that beating a police officer with the flag is a desecration as well.
