Q A large group of people gather in front of the Federal Building in downtown Riverside to protest the United States involvement in Afghanistan. The group is chanting and carrying protest signs. The police have blocked their rally from interfering with people that are going in and out of the building on business. One of the protesters tears down the American flag from the flag pole, pours gasoline on it and sets it on fire while the rest of the group chant. The police arrest this protester for "flag burning" The protester argues in Court that the arrest was illegal since flag burning is a form of communication. How should the Court rule and WHY? Do not discuss whether people were injured etc.
