#1 Paper should show his face. Valley Falls must be upstate New York.

#2 Haw Haw. I remember one old WWI veteran in the 1960s, who was such a skilled scrapper that he took out an aggressive big hippie guy Three Stooges style, while pretending to be a hobbling old dotard.

The best the witness could determine, the vet accidentally poked a pencil sized hole in his instep through some unknown means, tripped him, head butted him to the face, tripped him again, and head butted him again to the side of the jaw.

The big hippie was so befuddled that all he could do was sit down, take the shoe off his bleeding foot, hold his pounding head with a bleeding nose, and couldn't shut his jaw, and groan.

#3 Flag-burning *is* protected (although irony laden) speech. However, it is best to determine that the flag in question actually belongs to you before ignition. Otherwise, you are just a vandal.

#4 Even if you burn your own flag in a public place, you should still have to get a burning permit.

Public fire is public fire; it's either a danger to the public and should have rules, or not.

If the wind picks up a piece of burning flag and pushes it against the legs of a woman wearing nylon stockings, free speech ain't gonna cut it for the burner....
