A new viral video showing a U.S. “Marine and solider” taking a flag from two protesters in Albuquerque, N.M., has sparked a heated First Amendment debate.

In the short video, two protesters riding on a motorized scooter, reportedly demonstrating over police fatally shooting a homeless man, are seen holding the America flag upside down. Two men, one wearing a U.S. Marines T-shirt and another sporting an Army tee, sprint after the protesters and eventually yank the flag away and leave with it.

It should be noted that neither men have been identified or confirmed as active or former military. It is also unclear when the video was recorded.
“We serve our f***ing country, that’s bulls**t!” one of the men shouts in the video.

While some have heralded the men as heroes for demanding the U.S. flag be respected, others have argued they are hindering the protesters’ right to free speech that soldiers fight and give their lives to protect.

I feel really conflicted with this, on one hand part of me is upset about them flying the flag upside down, on the other hand, I understand the sentiment. I have mentioned that we need to fly it upside down on more than one occasion to friends who fly the flag on thier home because our Country is in Distress!!!!
