There are several limits against the first amendment. Like u can’t just run into a movie theater and scream bomb. Burning the flag should be one of those limits

The Supreme Court agreed that black people only counted as 2/3rd of a person at one point. The supreme courts decision isn’t absolute for morality and ethics. Sometimes they’re wrong. This is one of the times

You sound like a snowflake who can’t handle their country being criticized

*3/5ths get it right if you're gonna try and argue. They also ruled that tomatoes are legally classified as vegetables in 1893 Nix v. Hedden

Why punish people for showing their displeasure with the country and not try and fix this displeasure?

No. There’s other ways to show your displeasure with the country. Burning a flag will not fix anything. And is extremely dangerous

Clearly it’s a compelling message if it makes you so uncomfortable you think it should be a crime with life in prison

But they chose their LEGAL way. Burning a flag is as dangerous as burning anything. So long as they are careful it’s fine.

Your point doesn't really stand though. Like the op said in 1989 Texas v. Johnson protected that right under free speech. If you don't like it then take it up with the Supreme Court

In other countries this is extremely illegal and could be punishable by death. Again just because something is legal here doesn’t make it right.
