If burning of american flags is freedom of speech
What is burning American soldiers in an effigy at a peace rally? Seems sick to me. Where's the peace?...

burning an effigy of a soldier should not be an anti-war protest. it just doesn't seem right to me. the soldiers are there regardless of their views on Iraq. | ||||

when I first saw those pics, the civil rights hangings came into my mind. hence, it reminded me of it. i didn't say they were the same thing. | ||||

| If they attempted to do that off a college campus there would have been a very good chance of riots. That's a disgrace. It's amazing how they're calling it a peace rally, yet they're burning substitutes for human beings. Morons. College Idealism at its finest. | ||||
