Patrol deputies were contacted about a woman burning a flag at the Red Clay State Park. Upon arrival, witnesses told deputies they observed her removing United States and Tennessee flags, put them on the ground, and start stomping on them. When officers made contact, she said this was not the first time she had removed flags at the park, and also admitted she swam in the blue hole located inside the park, that clearly has signage that says “No Trespassing”.

This has been a hot topic as of late, some people believing that it's totally OK and protected under the First Amendment, and the other side that believes it's extremely disrespectful. We've said it before and we'll say it again, the Flag does not represent the government or the things that didn't go your way, it represents America and all the good that we stand for. Men and women have died to protect it and the Freedom it representsLet us know what you think about this in the comment section or on social media.
