Should it be illegal to burn the Rwandan flag?
Flag desecration is any act that is carried out with the intention of damaging or destroying a national flag in public. This is commonly done in an effort to make a political statement against a nation or its policies. Some nations have acts that ban flag desecration while others have laws that protect the right to destroy a flag as a part of free speech. Some of these laws distinguish between a national flag and those of other countries.

Yes it should unless you are retiring the flag.
@8Q6C4Y45yrs5Y
No, and I hate saying this, but people should have the right to do this. I don't respect anyone who would, but using government in this manner is a little bit of a slippery slope.
@8XHNZZH4yrs4Y
What are the drugs being used for and what is being done with the drugs
@8QTXJBB5yrs5Y
No, burning a flag is the proper way to retire it.

If you burn the American flag, you should get a free airplane ticket to another country where you can become a citizen.
@8L3W9MQ5yrs5Y
Only if it touches the ground you take it to be burned.
@8PRLV4X5yrs5Y
yes, it should be illegal to burn the American flag, unless you are retiring it.
@8S6JHGR4yrs4Y
yes it should be 100% this is AMERICA
@8SDR3QB4yrs4Y
No, but it represents our free country so I would take it as offensive.
@8VDKZ4T4yrs4Y
No, only if it's being done in a respectable and honorable way.
@8WBJLGZ4yrs4Y
no because if a flag gets ripped or something it should be properly retired and burned.
@8WC3QKP4yrs4Y
I think that it is very wrong and disrespectful to burn the American Flag, but making it illegal seems somewhat extreme. Maybe enforcing a fine instead of something more drastic.
@8Y2NH4W4yrs4Y
if it is torn up already then yes
@8YZCPT74yrs4Y
No, however, I feel that it should only be allowed to burn the flag if it touches the ground.
