Protestors burn flag outside of DNC. Why?

Because they are an embarrassment and make liberals look bad.

What would happen if you burned a flag in protest and no one cared?

Yep.

Remember: Bernie isn't a democrat, he's an independent. His Bernie or bust followers (aka the monster he created and no longer controls) aren't democrats. They have more in common with Trump supporters or libertarians. These aren't well educated, rationale people.

Think about why toddlers throw themselves on the floor and pitch a fit...it's out of frustration since they can't use their words to convey their feelings and/or aren't equipped to resolve a situation. Same thing here, except they're burning a flag.

Bernie is a self-avowed socialist, not an independent

An independent can be anything, socialist included

Agree.

Yes, it's protected by the First Amendment, but so is smearing poop in your hair. Doesn't make it a smart thing to do.

I still don't know what they're trying to accomplish. Maybe they don't either.

Shark has been jumped.

I mostly roll my eyes when people burnt the flag. It is meant to be provocative but mostly I just find it unimaginative.

Who said it was illegal? OP called it despicable, not illegal. I call it childish.

"Fine with"? No, are you stupid? Few Americans are chill with the symbolism of burning flags. What we understand is that it is a protected right and burning it, while disrespectful, is just that - symbolism. No one's killed. No one's physically wounded.

No one can help you with your cardboard cutout view of liberals, aka your fellow Americans, except you.

That said - what a dumb display. It accomplishes zero and allows some conservatives to paint everyone on the left as a bunch of know-nothing dingbats.
