      What a wild two statements to make back to back. Yeah, my entire problem with it is that it is a call for illegal vigilante violence, against someone exercising their constitutional right. As a political statement, it’s a messed up thing to be promoting.

      And right after you “correct” me and tell me no, the people in the titular small town are not going to call the police, aka they are taking care of things themselves illegally, you try to also claim they’re not threatening the hypothetical flag burning person with a gun? They are obviously violently threatening repeatedly, and the next line is about a gun. If you want to claim the mentioned gun is not necessarily being brandished, I see why you’re saying that but “this is a man with a gun who is threatening physical violence…he never explicitly said he is threatening GUN violence” is such a weak point. Fine, remove the word “gun” from my point. He is still threatening violence which is an actual crime.
