| Flag burner thumped |
| 2001-10-03 |
When anti-war protesters burned the American flag in the nation's capital last weekend, sparks started flying as counterprotesters screamed in disgust. But after an Emory University student burned a flag on a college radio show Friday night, fists started flying. After lighting up the flag, Alexander Dreyer exited the studio and allegedly was attacked by two students. Dreyer, 20, of Decatur told school police that as one student held him the other punched him in the jaw. While no charges have been filed, police say the incident is still under investigation. ... Since the flag burning, the radio host has lost her show. The student-run radio station insists the host was forced out because she allowed a guest to start a fire. The host suspects differently. "I'm concerned that what's fueling this is what was being burned," said Kisha Hope, host of the show called "Girls Wear Boxers Too." |
