Sorry, I have no tolerance for this type of "protest", disrespecting our flag, our national anthem and our country.
Go march with BLM, make a speech at a community meeting, read to inner city kids, donate to the NAACP---but NOT THIS, it is not the time or the place.

My wife's ancestors came on the Mayflower. Her great great great great great uncle signed the Declaration of Independence. His cousin died in the Revolution. Lincoln commended her great great great uncle. Her second cousin went down on the Arizona. Her brother posed for the iconic Vietnam era photo of a soldier in silhouette holding a M-16 over his head. My father marched across Europe with Patton. My brother was in Da Nang. Our son has citations from President Bush and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

No, I have no tolerance for what he did---even if I ever agreed with his point of view, this was no way to express it.
