This is just wrong. You don't go vandalizing peoples' stuff like that. Flag burning as vandalism is wrong. Flag burning as a political statement is free speech, provided it is one that the burner has purchcaced.

This is insane. Who else would it be, than kids? Al Quaeda? Hamas? Iranian spies? I think it is worth saying that this is the only country where a piece of cloth is so important. That's why you see them buringing it on CNN so much--it's the easiest way to get to you. Sit back, relax and enjoy the democracy. If you want to burn someone else's flag--go ahead! Why not make a special "punk kids" flag and put it on your barbecue grill this weekend? It would be a great project for bored kids during the summer vacation.

I'd expect this in Park Slope are Cobble Hill before Marine Park. Surprising.

What's extreme is that brooklyn accent they have. just listen to these ignorant folks, the more they talk the more they put their foot in mouth.

I grew up around Marine Park, and I would agree that it's probably prankster kids, bored with hanging out at Kings Plaza. There's not much of an extreme element out there in Brooklyn.

Little Punks. I hope they find the little traitors and have them drawn and quartered.
