#1 I can imagine a slowdown in public services will sway opinions. Missed garbage pickup days, burned out streetlights, reduced late patrols by police, periodic/random power brownouts, food service inspections. Yeah, quality control on services can slip a lot.

#3 SCOTUS said you have a right to burn the flag. Your flag, not someone else's. Burning someone else's is vandalism and is not 'protected speech'.

BTW, what are the administrators going to do when the bullets start flying if they can't stand up to one vandal.

Cry racism and beg their overlords to save them.

#7 I'm wondering if Ohio University people would've appreciated the veterans today.

#8 Calling BS on the mayor's actions; Like he wasn't in the know of the flag being taken down and only showed up in support of the vets once the wind direction changed.
useless POS

#9 Betcha the veterans left their protest area cleaner than they found it, too.
