Show Notes
Army veteran Jay Carey, who burned an American flag near the White House to protest Trumps executive order, has had charges dropped. Carey, a First Amendment advocate, faced misdemeanor counts for starting a fire in a restricted area and damaging park resources. The Supreme Court has ruled flag burning as protected political expression, and Careys lawyer deemed the prosecution unwarranted. The U.S. Attorneys office has not commented on the dismissal.
