LSU Student Tries to Burn Flag, Chased Off Campus

A mixed day for the First Amendment (from Say Anything):
With shouts of “go to hell, hippie” the Louisiana State University student who had gotten permission from the school to stage a burning of the American flag was chased off campus.
I suppose I should support the right to burn a flag as part of our First Amendment rights, but there's part of me that just loves the whole "Go to hell, hippie!" reaction from the crowd.  In the immortal words of Chief Wiggum:
"It's time for a good old-fashioned hippie ass-whomping!"

As a proud graduate of LSU, I can tell you that down here, we proudly fly the flag and pledge allegiance to it....not a fan of the language used, and the water thrown, but I am proud of the patriotism shown by those students! Geaux Tigers!!
