Burning US flag?

Didn't the act of desecrating the flag used to be considered to be treason?  If those folks don't like the American flag, and what it stands for then maybe they should find another country to take up residence in.  Too bad these anti American protesters are able to get away with this, should be treason in my mind.

Isn't it funny (sickening) that it is a crime to deface a dollar bill but NOT a crime to burn the American flag.................................. ????????

 

From the Dept. of the Treasury,  US Bureau of Engraving and Printing:

Defacement of Currency

Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
