    Nobody in that store is being forced to do this lmao. Anyone can simply walk out. Do that in China and you disappear.

      Anyone can simply walk out.

      What about simply going about your shopping? Amazing that this dolt can't envision just not caring about this, in their minds everyone either participates happily or gets offended and leaves.

      Also 90% of the goods in that video came from China.

      If there was a ballot measure to disappear people who don't participate in impromptu acts of patriotism, or somehow cut their shopping trips short without spending x% of their income, it would somehow pass overwheingly, lol.

          Not sure, feels like something you always put on the horizon to keep the hogs fired up, but not actually implement because even conservative judges couldn't justify it.

            In most cases, flag desecration is considered only a misdemeanor. Yet, in a state like Illinois, flag desecration is a felony. Wisconsin used to make it a felony, but the entire provision on flag desecration was struck down in 1998.

            Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina have all protected Confederate flags on an equal basis with American and state flags. Thus, burning a Confederate flag is the same crime as burning an American flag.

            It's one of those state things where they will still arrest you, but if you get a lawyer they drop it immediately. I'm sure people have ended up in prison for it anyways because our legal system is a joke and most people never even get a lawyer/trial.
