Thank you for a logical , well thought out post that has some basis in reality. You should probably considering posting on some other BBS as this type of commentary does not do well here.

forget your political bias and total hatred for the US a moment.. or even the fact that you have no place in commenting on the article to begin with which is a far left website, citing no source other than two potestors and only giving 1/2 of the story. and lets forget the fact for a moment that these two anti-war protesters who unsprisingly add suspiciously colorful details like ?He was clenching his teeth, and his veins were bulging out, and he was red-faced,? are intended to incite people like you to begin with and be reasonable.
its a bridge.
over a freeway.
2 large items
2 people
only 4 arms
the flag was "displayed" and the banner was "held"
he later says "they asked us to take the banner down" - "take it down" is not what you do when you are holding something, which indicates that most likely they are either lying or they did "hold" the banner and later hung it from the bridge.
circumstances?
how big were the banners? the flag? was it dangerous? any pics?
well... no one here knows... and as usual, no one here cares about the actual facts.
regardless of what anyone thinks or WANTS to believe. there are laws against this. its not "protected speech" ... and to use anyones logic in defending it, it means i can write "impeach bush" on a baby and dangle it over the freeway and calll it "protected speech"... oh wait, can't do that? why not? you mean laws and legality might come into play? but.. but...
