We’ve seen a lot of heated protests so far at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
But a flag burning protest set up by the Revolutionary Communist Party proved too hot for the group to handle.
The flag burning was supposed to be a “political statement about the crimes of the American empire,” but instead it became a statement about the commies’ stupidity when a protester accidentally lit himself and his fellow comrades on fire, according to Cleveland police.
Protestor lit flag on fire, then lit himself on fire, catching others on fire. Flames extinguished by firefighters. No serious injuries.

CBS New York reported:
Moments after the flag was set on fire, officers charged in to put it out with an extinguishing spray that some in the crowd thought was pepper spray because of similarities in the design of the canisters and the eye irritation caused by the fire-suppression substance.
“You’re on fire! You’re on fire, stupid!” a Cleveland officer shouted at a protester while firing the extinguishing spray.
“Burn that rag! Burn that rag!” supporters of the group yelled.
A big thank you to the Cleveland Police Department that has to deal with BS like this all week!
WATCH the hilarious moment a protester lights himself on fire with a burning American flag:
Clearly, Karma’s a patriotic American!
I would have just let the bastards burn to death. If I were the officers I would say I attempted to put out the fire and they threaten me. I wasn’t going to become another dead cop statistic.
Burning your national flag is an insult to the whole population of whatever country it represents, not the government the people all of them.
Personally anyone who wants to burn my nation flag deserves to be shot or deported citizenship removed.
I’ll vote for that
This proves one thing GOD IS GOOD. Now if he would just do something with the terrorists. Oh, he has! DONALD TRUMP!
I object to the fire fighters interfering with the free speech of these anti American protestors by extinguish their flames of glory. The firefighters need to restrain themselves if this happens again and let the fires of communism burn.
Good idea there mongo. Light the whole damned bunch and see if they leave any ashes. Remember, even in death you’ll be able to vote for Hildebeest, the wicked witch of the south.
“You’re on fire! You’re on fire, stupid!” A dedicated Democrat!
terrible, if you burn the flag of your country you don’t belong there…
I would hope that some one will stand up and have a BILL PASSED THAT IF YOU DO ANY THING TO THE FLAG THAT ITS A CRIME PERIOD.
