Exactly. While in the act of committing a crime against someone who was violating a guideline for flag display, this guy disrespects the flag he is trying to protect even further by balling it up and shoving it up his armpit.
I'm pretty big on proper respect for the flag. I'll point out to people frequently when they are doing something wrong, like the filthy displays they have up on their car.
But I won't go and commit a crime to gain resolution.
