Peaceful protests should not be squashed
#2
RE: Peaceful protests should not be squashed
Well, burning a flag is also a "peaceful" protest, and so is the verbal slander of national symbols and traditions. I'm merely stating that not everything that is peaceful needs to be legal, or moral. I personally do not think that anyone reserves the right to do the above mentioned things merely because they don't throw molotovs around. And if they turn violent, there will be someone to stand on the opposing side aswell, waiting to respond to violence with violence(by that I don't mean the police).

As for this particular case, its an individual protest, so its effectiveness is quite limited. But individual protests gather a boost merely by publicity when something like this happens. If they had left the kid be, his protest would not have mattered, as it would have been, as I said, strictly individual.

As for his means, I think he's doing it right. The pledge of allegiance was there before the Obama Administration, and will be there after the Obama Administration. Since the pledge is ultimately not something that defines the current government, but the whole country as a whole, he misses the mark completely, in my opinion.
