^^^^ Yup.

If I remember correctly, several years ago the state of Louisiana got all panty-wadded about flag desecration and tried to get a silly-assed law passed about it. It may actually have passed but I think it failed on challenge.

So the legislature reduced the penalty for battery in the event it was on a flag burner.

A friend of mine who takes the flag burning very seriously said, "Hell, I'd pay a lot more than that to kick those guys' asses."
