This flag-burning attempt went from bad to worse to total chaos!
This is AMAZING karma! A tardsy thought he was being defiant by light the American flag on fire and disrespecting people who lost their lives so this man could be here today. Then in an awesome chain of events, this action bit him in the bit big time and will be paying for it for a little while.
During the melee a man tried lighting the American flag on fire. Moments after the flag was set on fire, officers charged in to put it out with an extinguishing spray that some in the crowd thought was pepper spray because of similarities in the design of the canisters and the eye irritation caused by the fire-suppression substance.
17 people were arrested Wednesday, the chaos stopped several delegates and the media from reaching their destination for the night’s proceedings. When an officer noticed the fire he yelled something pretty appropriate… “You’re on fire! You’re on fire, stupid!” the scene only got more chaotic after that. Watch below to see…
