Just in Time for the Fourth: Flag Burning Bozos!

Via The Smoking Gun:

According to sheriff's investigators, [Scott Baber and Brian Richard III] drove around a Sarasota [Florida] subdivision, red gasoline canister in hand, and set fire to several American flags flying outside homes. For his part, Baber, a cook at Tijuana Flats, said he targeted the flag because he "disagreed with Free Trade, how the American Government is being run and the war in Iraq." Richard, who is unemployed and goes by the nickname Lil' B, said he torched Old Glory "because of who stands behind the American flag," adding that he disagrees with the Iraq war and believes President Bush has brainwashed Americans.

Hmph. They'll have plenty of time to thinkg about who's brainwashed when they cool their anarchist heels in prison!
