Flashback: 'BLM Protesters' Try Burning 'American Flag While Blocking Traffic' In Los Angeles
*Originally published May 2020* Even though this flag burning took place in Los Angeles, the reason is due to the death of black man George Floyd in Minneapolis. Floyd, of course, was basically choked unconscious by a cop with an apparent violent past.
That being said, it’s not cool to burn Old Glory unless you’re a member of ISIS – which President Trump has pretty much eradicated.
RIP, George.
