Mizzou Students Hold ISIS Flag Burning Rally

El Taco10 years ago

Chants of “USA! USA! USA” broke out the University of Missouri campus Thursday as a group of students held an ISIS flag burning ceremony on the quad.

The event was held by the Young Americans for Liberty and featured food, music, and freedom, because America.

The burning of an ISIS flag is well within the group’s First Amendment rights and they even cleared it with MU campus police first, but not every student was thrilled with the act. Some felt the publicity stunt posed a risk to campus safety, especially in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in France back in January.

Still, if images of their flag being burned by college students hurts them more than the heartless beheadings and killings they execute on a daily basis, then they’re more screwed in the brain than previously thought.

According to US officials, 10,000-plus ISIS fighters were killed in a 9-month campaign. Ten thousand down, many more to go.

Plus, the flag burning gave some lucky couple a proposal to remember.

Love is in the air..
