re: Why do liberals/leftists hate the flag and national anthem?

But protesting is very American. Don't you think?

Protesting is at the very soul of our founding.

Stopping other groups from protesting is gang violence.

What the leftists are doing is preventing any conservative voice from being heard. I am referring to the Berkeley type antifa violence, and even the Charlottesville disaster.

Violence breeds violence. And just as in football officiating, it is most often the second offender who gets the penalty. Reacting to violence with violence always continues until someone gets hurt.

To me, the right to protest is golden. The right to demand that someone do something about your protest is silly. You have the right to speak - you do not have the right to an audience.

And you certainly don't have the right to be believed. You have to convince doubters that you are right. You do not have the right to beat them into submission.

Going to a place to protest a speaker is one thing. Prevention that speaker from speaking should be a criminal act. Committing violence in the act of preventing a someone from speaking is a high felony. Putting the onus on the speaker to prevent the violence is retarded and bass-awkward.
