Stomping on flag leads to protester's arrest
As long as you own the flag you can do what ever you wish to the flag. It is private property. What you can't do is stomp on or burn someone else's flag, unless the owner of that flag gives permission. This guy sounded like he had bigger issues than stomping on a flag. When you are carrying a knife, claw hammer, tire iron, and a toy gun, I think you might be dangerous and menacing. This man also appears to have had another disorderly conduct arrest back in August. That case is still pending. He sounds like he might be in need of a physiological evaluation.
