Video- LSU Student Attempting to Burn Flag Chased Away by Patriots Chanting "Go to Hell, Hippie"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/11/11 | Aurelius
LSU recently gave one of its students, Benjamin Hass, permission to burn an American flag as part of a "peaceful protest." And after the decision, it seemed that the students at the college could not care less. LSU’s student government president Cody Wells stated, “We’re going to respect [Hass'] First Amendment right to burn our American flag.”
Well, turns out students do care.
At the event, recorded by an LSU student and uploaded to the internet, members of the college took a stand. The video begins as Hass is flanked by two police officers on horses. He is clearly contemplating how exactly to burn the flag.
Suddenly, chants of "Go to Hell, hippie" and "USA, USA" break out across the crowd around him. Eventually, after ruckus booing, the "hippie" makes a break for it and does not burn the flag.
The video ends with cheering, applause, and shouts of "God bless America!" Awesome.
