How has this not turned into terrorism? Fear of flying the flag in their own country for fear of controversy.

How much money would it really cost the government to place 2 police to guard it? One with pepper balls and the other with rubber bullets for the moron wearing a gas mask. They try to touch the flag they get spice or rubber. Living in fear is not the answer.

At some point they're not protestors anymore.

At some point it's the States responsibility to stop the madness. If they don't, the public will.
