Guy in military clothing with an American flag on his shoulder burns an American flag in front of the white house while being filmed by bystanders.

Guy gets detained

Apparently the EO declares burning flags in protest to be “incitement to riot”

    So…where’s the riot, then? I was told there would be a riot. This is very disappointing.

      No… see it incites a riot, it never said that riot was at that location. I’m assuming there was a riot somewhere because of this obviously

    I bet the final charge isn’t going to be flag- or EO-related at all. It’ll probably be something like illegal fire, arson, vandalism, etc.
