I'm amazed by how many people continue to defend his actions even after it's been pointed out by several people that the kid STOLE the flag and DESTROYED it. Nine days is a rather light penalty for stealing someone else's stuff and burning it.
Plus, he's charged with a lot more than the desecration - The other 5 charges against him are completely legit (underage drinking, theft, destruction of property, evading arrest, and littering)
People always bitch about how rotten kids are. What better way to scare them straight than to throw their butt in jail for a few days to show them what it's gonna be like if they keep that crap up?
