DeWayne Craddock, Virginia Beach Shooter; MyLife page scrubbed. Deep-State action to distract from SpyGate?

BBC: Twelve killed at Virginia Beach Municipal Center.

At least 12 people were killed and several injured on Friday in a mass shooting at a government building in the US state of Virginia.

The suspect, described by officials as a disgruntled city employee in Virginia Beach, fired indiscriminately in a municipal building.

The gunman [is] identified by police as DeWayne Craddock[.]

Craddock was killed in an exchange of gunfire with the police bringing the death total to 13.

I'm going to skip the major details, like the VB Muni Center being a gun-free zone, presuming you already know this.

(Click all images to enlarge).

The victims:

Being that nine of the victims appear racially to be white, is it appropriate in asking if this horrendous attack has been described by the MSM as motivated by racism? It's a fair question, because if a shooter is white, and a majority of the victims are Black, the MSM would no doubt be asking this same question. Liberal politicians - never letting a crisis going to waste - would be echoing the same refrain playing the Racist Card. Was he motivated by race? Was he "disgruntled"? Is it a hate-crime? It should be, shouldn't it? I haven't heard those words from the MSM yet. Have you?

Craddock's MyLife page has been scrubbed:

A screen cap of Craddock's MyLife page before it was scrubbed; please note the political affiliation: 

Craddock's MyLife search engine result: 

Craddock's MyLife page number assignment is e346068733872. That number appears on all three versions; the screen cap, the scrubbed cap and the search result entry. I think we're safe in reasonably concluding the now-scrubbed MyLife entry was his and authentic.

Isn't it somewhat ironic that, in some cases, the MSM trips all over itself to publish as much information as they can on someone, like with Nick Sandmann? Media instantly, and wrongly, initially painted San Diego shooter John Earnest as a Pro-Trump, MAGA, Alt-Righter. But other times, information is withheld, scrubbed, altered and spun for fitting The Liberal Narrative?  

Now, into the speculative and muddy areas.

State of The Nation (SOTN): GLADIO TERROR: Virginia Beach False Flag Mass Shooting Ordered by Deep State to Distract from SPYgate + Gun Control.

False flag terrorist attacks have become the preferred means of distraction of the American people.  Epic scandals like SPYgate require major distractions to change the national conversation—FAST! See ANOTHER MIND-CONTROLLED PATSY: Virginia Beach Mass Shooting frames a ‘disgruntled employee’ as the fall guy.

Mass shootings in high-profile venues are particularly carried out to divert the attention of the body politic when Deep State is under a LOT of pressure.  That pressure is coming from the necessity of covering up SPYgate.

In light of the radioactive revelations that are about to be made public by the DoJ after being authorized to declassify the Russiagate hoax documents, things are about to get very dicey. Truly, it doesn’t get more serious for the Democrat coup plotters than SPYgate.

Why Virginia?

Why Virginia, indeed. Hit the link and be ready for a long read.

The SOTN story is also found at The Millennium Report.

Both SOTN and TMR mention this interesting point in why this incident raises so many Red Flags:

Editor’s Note

It has been claimed that a scheduled “active shooter drill” was scheduled at the very same venue in Virginia Beach today — Saturday, June 1.  If this is true, then such a drill would have provided a perfect opportunity for the ‘authorities’ to set up the false flag operation in advance as they have done with many other staged mass casualty events.

SOTN confirms the report that the Virginia Beach PD had June 1 scheduled for an active shooter training workshop, while News Of The Day reports that Gun Violence Awareness Day is Sunday, June 2.

Regarding Gladio Terror, they were also named during the Sri Lanka attack, and others, give a search on them.

I'm not a believer in the Crisis Actor Conspiracy Theory. I'm not discounting something like it could be employed at times, but I think what happened in Virginia Beach on Friday did happen.

USA MacPaper: Contradicting information if Craddock was terminated or still employed with the city:

Craddock was an engineer at the Virginia Beach Department of Public Utilities for 15 years, police say. He worked in the city's water and sanitary sewers branch and was still employed with the department at the time of the attack, according to authorities.

That contradicts reports by CNN and The Wall Street Journal that have described Craddock as a "disgruntled employee" who had been recently terminated. At a Saturday afternoon news conference, Cervera was adamant that any unnamed sources saying the suspect had been terminated are incorrect.

Before providing a link to an 8Chan thread on the Virginia Beach Municipal Center; FYI, if you've never been to 8Chan, it is NSFW, containing ethnic and racist terms and images that may be offensive. If that upsets you, then do not follow the link. You have been advised.

An 8Chan Thread on Virginia Beach bring up, among several other theories, the  gematria of March 31:

The number of 13 deaths...Cutting Edge 13 being a Occult Number:

Thirteen (13) is deemed sacred. It was also no accident that Hitler chose the year 1939 to begin World War II, because 39 is formed by the multiplication of 13x3. Thus, you can see how human history has been shaped by the occult belief in the power of numbers.

The date of the shootings, May 31; 5/31. 5+3+1=9. Same link, Cutting Edge:

Nine (9) is sacred because it is the "first cube of an odd number (3)".

The connections in the Conspiracy Theories involving any unusual event or tragedy in Virginia tied to the CIA HQ in Quantico, VA - and their secret agenda and experiments (whatever they are) - abundantly abound on the web.

There are so many questions, will we ever know the truth? Maybe. Do we know the truth on the Inland Regional Center attack in San Bernardino...yet? I don't think so.

Remember, it's not that hard to fool the MSM and it regurgitates to the public what it's told by their political masters.  

Breitbart: Mainstream Media Fooled by Troll Who Blamed San Bernardino Shooting on GamerGate:

The Associated Press (AP), the New York Times, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper were suckered by an online troll who claimed to be an eyewitness of the recent mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

In a well-established pattern, the troll blamed the mass shooting on GamerGate, the movement against poor ethical standards and political zealotry in the world of video games journalism.

The troll, who claimed their name was “Marie A. Parker” told AP that one of the shooters said he was killing people “for necessary ethics” and wore a shirt emblazoned with a “GG” logo. Her comments, including her insinuation of GamerGate’s involvement, were published by the AP.

The Liberal Presidential Candidates renewed their ultimate goal of gun confiscation by calling for "common-sense gun control laws"  in the wake of Virginia Beach. None of them can define their generic phrase any further. What "common sense gun control" would have prevented the killings in Virginia Beach? Uh - maybe not having the facility designated a "gun-free zone"? That's not all that different from walking down the street wearing a sign reading, "I'm frail, unable to defend myself and carrying a lot of cash." Only a Liberal could conceive and believe that any "[Fill-in-the blank] free-zone" would be free of what they seek.

One thing the MSM all agree is telling us that the guns Craddock used were purchased legally. I've also heard the MSM report Craddock used a "silencer", of which there is no such thing, they mean a suppressor, which is not silent.

If I'm an arsonist, and buy and use gasoline, starting a fire that destroys some structure, and I'm caught - is the gasoline manufacturer liable for what I did? What "common-sense gasoline laws" would prevent another occurrence?

We are likely to never know the real truth.

Stanley Cup Game 3; Tonight in St. Louis. Series tied 1 - 1.

St. Louis won Game 2, a final score 3 - 2 in OT on Wednesday night, in Boston, tying the series one game each.

My Game 2 prediction for a final score was Boston 3 - St. Louis 1, so I'm 0 for 2, my inability to accurately predict a final score consistent as it's been in past seasons. Once in awhile I get one right, but then a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then.

Game 3 is tonight, at 8 PM Eastern time. It's the first game of the series with the Blues playing on home ice with Game 4 also in StL.

Oddsshark predicts a final score of Game 3 with the Bruins over the Blues, 2.8 to 2.6.

KFC selling deep-fried chicken skin in Indonesia.

How does Indonesia get so lucky?

Newshub: KFC is selling bags of nothing but deep-fried chicken skin in Indonesia.

Prepare your arteries - KFC is selling bags of nothing but deep-fried chicken skin - at least in Indonesia.

As everyone knows, the best part of any KFC chicken meal is on the outside. Succulent, crispy, and coated in the Colonel's secret herbs and spices, it's the perfect combination of fat, salt and flavour.

However it's already received a rapturous response from fans, who call it the "ultimate snack".

iTunes KILLED! Funeral planned.

Newshub: Apple pulling the plug on iTunes.

Apple iTunes' days are reportedly numbered, with chief executive Tim Cook looking to announce the retirement of the revolutionary multimedia software next week.

iTunes, the media player and store that led the way in popularising mp3 downloads and the digital storage of music, was launched in 2001.

However, it has recently been garnering criticism for moving away from its original music-based purpose and into films, television, games, podcasts, ebooks, and other features.

Now it looks to be killed off, with Bloomberg reporting that its retirement will be announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, California on Monday (local time).

Apple will reportedly replace it with three apps - Music, TV, and Podcasts - for Mac, similar to its decentralised strategy on its iOS devices. It's unknown what will happen to movie downloading.

The Music app will take over for most of iTunes features, though as streaming becomes more popular, it has been speculated Apple will end mp3 downloads and focus only on its AppleMusic subscription services.

Do we add the killing of iTunes to the Clinton Body Count?

Leon Redbone dies, age 69.

Well, this just sucks.

Variety: In a nod to how Redbone sought to exist outside of time, much less current musical styles, his death announcement gave his age as 127.

...speaking about his preference for remaining enigmatic, Redbone said, “I don’t do anything mysterious on purpose. I’m less than forthcoming, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m mysterious. It just means I’m not inclined to go there.”
[.]
“Very little of my life goes into my music,” Redbone told the Star, explaining the disconnect between his public and private personas. “I’ve never considered myself the proper focus of attention. I’m just a vehicle … not so much for the particular kind of music I prefer, music from an earlier time, as for a mood that music conveys.”

Meghan McCain's HYSTERICAL reaction to Fake News. The universe revolves around her, you know.

Meghan McCain

CNN: Meghan McCain blasts Trump over USS McCain controversy.

McCain was responding to reports that the White House Military Office asked lower-level US Navy officials about keeping the USS John McCain, named for the late senator's father and grandfather, out of view during Trump's trip to Japan last weekend.

 

Nice one, Pudges. Too bad you sucked up the Fake News like a Dyson:

Pudges reads the Fake News about the name of the USS McCain being obscured, doesn't bother to verify the story, goes straight to her Twatter account and bemoans, again, that it's all about her and her late dad. Pudges was Triggered by Fake News. I could be wrong, but I think most people would kind of be embarrassed and humbled by such triggering. Not Pudges. Give her a day, or less, and she'll back on her soap box.

Some guy who said one humorous anecdote several decades ago desperately seeks media attention, hopping on a momentary, topical Fake News story: 

He was funnier as a cokehead.

None of us has experienced the death of a loved one and suffered the degree of grief as has Pudges McCain. None of us. We can't imagine her grief; we just can't. Pudges is the Standard-Bearer of Grief and we must all accept the universe revolves around her.

It's all about you, Pudges. And your dad who spent the latter years of his Senate career, and presidential campaign, promising Americans one of his top priorities is to repeal Obama Care. And when the time came to belly up to the bar, he betrayed his promise to the people and voted to keep Obamacare. Why? It was John McCain's only way to give a "fuck you" to Trump. Wow, what character. What a display of statesmanship. What a two-faced tiny, little, bitter, selfish man.

I'll remind everyone that Pudges, this past April, said that she, "hopes Julian Assange rots in hell." Lots of compassion and forgiveness in the McCain family, huh?

I'm REALLY HAPPY to know the McCain family supports Creepy, Pervy, Hair-Sniffin DEM Joe Biden for president. If the McCain's had stated they support President Donald Trump, I'd be questioning the state of my mental health.

Circus promoters chained son to bath, filmed him starving to death.

WKRN: Circus promoters chained son to bath, filmed him starving to death.

Two circus promoters from are accused of chaining their son to a motel bathtub and watching him die a slow, painful death.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office was called to a hospital in Bloomington, Indiana to investigate the death of 12-year-old Eduardo Posso.

Detectives say Posso was in Indiana with his father, Luis Posso and stepmother, Dayana Marina Flores, while they promoted a circus that opens next month. Their other children, ages 9, 5 and 2 helped the couple pass out flyers, but Eduardo was left chained to the bathtub in the hotel room, without food.
[.]
On Friday, Eduardo stopped breathing and his father took him to Bloomington Hospital. He died shortly after.

According to the coroner, Eduardo was severely malnourished with zero percent body fat.

A search of the motel room turned up restraints used on the young boy and a webcam tied to the towel bar, which the couple allegedly used to watch the boy as his health deteriorated, authorities said. Detectives also found cell phone pictures and videos of the boy in shackles, according to the report.

NBC News: More on the same story.

Cellphone video showed Eduardo restrained in the bathtub, while Flores and the other children came and went from the bathroom without acknowledging him, and investigators discovered a selfie Posso took with the boy while restrained.
[.]
[Eduardo] weighed about 50 pounds[.]
[.]
Posso and Flores denied starving Eduardo but said they physically abused him because he "acted up more than the other kids," according to investigators.
[.]
Authorities said they will face murder charges once the coroner determines the boy's cause of death.

[Posse and Flores] were working as promoters for Cirque Italia, a Manatee County-based circus that has upcoming performances in Bloomington, Indiana.

The CEO of Cirque Italia tells News Channel 8 he is horrified by the crime. He stresses they are third-party contractors and are not directly connected to his circus.

C|Net: Rogue, Forbidden Planet defies Death Star Neptunian Desert:

An international team led by astronomers with the University of Warwick in the UK issued an announcement this week that sounds like a summary for a Star Trek episode: "The 'Forbidden' Planet has been found in the 'Neptunian Desert.'"

NGTS-4b is an exoplanet that's 20% smaller than Neptune, but still three times the size of Earth. It's located 920 light-years away from us in an area known as a Neptunian Desert.

"This planet must be tough -- it is right in the zone where we expected Neptune-sized planets could not survive," said astronomer Richard West, lead author of a paper on NGTS-4b scheduled for the July issue of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Julian Assange can barely talk, moved to prison hospital, says WikiLeaks.

This is not good. Julian Assange moved to prison hospital.

RT: ‘Grave concerns’: Assange can barely talk, moved to prison hospital.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been moved to the hospital wing of the Belmarsh prison in the UK, prompting concerns about his health pending the hearing on his extradition to the US.

Assange’s health had already “significantly deteriorated” during the nearly seven years he spent inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and has continued to get worse over the seven weeks he has spent in Belmarsh, WikiLeaks said in a statement on Wednesday.

Digital Journal: Swedish court rejects delay in hearing due to Assange's illness.

No one from the court had any comment on the issue to Reuters nor did the Prosecutor's office. Sweden just reopened the rape investigation in early May.

You've probably heard all about this story from the MSM Talking Heads because they believe so adamantly in sticking up for their fellow journalists and truth-seekers. Like the frequent time and coverage they've devoted to Jamal Khashoggi.

Assange has the dirt on Hillary Clinton and the Obama Deep State. Otherwise she wouldn't have asked, "can't we just drone this guy?"

We probably won't hear much from the MSM on Julian Assange. He's more of a threat to them and they are the water-carries for The Left who view Assange as an enemy. Pray for Julian Assange.

Stanley Cup Game 2 Tonight: Blues v Bruins

 
Monday's Game One of the NHL Stanley Cup was a win for Boston over St. Louis.

Final score of Game #1: Bruins 4 - Blues 2.

My Game #1 prediction: Blues 4 - Bruins 3 (in OT).

The Blues took a 2 to 0 lead into the second period. Bruins Connor Clifton fired a puck past Blues' goalie Jordan Binnington, followed minutes later by teammate Charlie McAvoy, tying the score at 2 - 2.

It stayed at 2 - 2 until P3, when Boston's Sean Kuraly scored, giving the Bruins 3, St. Louis 2. Teammate Brad Marchand nailed the puck into an empty net with a minute, 48 seconds left in the game, making the final score of 4 - 2.

The Blues played well, basically, the whole game. They got a little sloppy, Boston capitalized on it, and St. Louis couldn't pop back.

The Blues' Robert Thomas and Vince Dunn are on the injured list for tonight's Game 2, in Boston, at 8PM Eastern Time.

NHL.com: Are the Blues poised for a rebound in Game 2?

The Blues don't need to win tonight's game, but they really do. Going into game 3 - in St. Louis - down by two, kind of...sucks.

Predictions

Oddsshark predicts a final score in tonight's game of: Boston 3.2 - St. Louis 2.2.

I'd like for the Blues to win and tie the series tonight. The realist in me speaks differently.

My Prediction: Boston 3 - St. Louis 1

After introducing the child to the media, he did one of his classic shoulder grabs and whispered a creepy nothing into her ear.

Some of the female reporters covering the event, including Felicia Sonmez from the Washington Post, noticed the exchanged and were bothered by it.

Sonmez Tweeted, "In a somewhat odd moment at tonight's AFT town hall, Biden tells a 10-year-old girl, 'I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.' He takes her over to the assembled reporters, then stands behind her and puts his hands on her shoulders while he's talking."

Lyon bombing suspect identified as Mohamed Hichem M., [age] 24.

Sputnik News: French Media Reveals Alleged Identity of Lyon Blast Suspect as Algerian.

An explosion broke out on 24 May in downtown Lyon, France near a bakery at the intersection of Victor Hugo Street and Sala Street, near Bellecour Square, one of the city's attractions. More than 10 people were injured.

According to the Parisien newspaper, the key suspect in the Lyon explosion case was identified as Mohamed Hichem M., 24, who came to France from Algeria.

French officials have yet to comment on the information.

The suspect, who was arrested on Monday, had been previously unknown to police prior to the 24 May incident, when a blast broke out in the French city of Lyon, injuring 10 people.
[.]
"He is in custody. But so far, he refuses to speak," a source close to the investigation told Parisien.

The police questioned the relatives of the detainee — his parents, as well as his younger brother and sister.

Earlier, law enforcement officers had searched his home, where they found the materials needed for the manufacturing of explosives.

On Monday, French police arrested two suspects in connection with the investigation into the Lyon explosion, which took place on 24 May not far from a bakery at the intersection of Victor Hugo Street and Sala Street, near Bellecour Square — one of the city's main tourist attractions.

Measles Outbreak covers 26 States. Is Rat Lungworm next?

CBS News: Hawaii Health Department confirms 3 more cases of rat lungworm disease.

Three more cases of rat lungworm disease have been confirmed by the Hawaii Department of Health, a disease that could damage a victim's brain or spinal cord in some cases. One case occurred last year after a visitor reportedly ate a slug on a dare, bringing the 2018 total up to 10 confirmed cases.

The other two cases occurred earlier this year, with one person getting sick in late February. Officials believe they may have been infected by consuming produce "straight from the land." Another person fell ill in January, though it's unclear how they contracted rat lungworm disease.

I am perplexed.  How come so much gun play in Chicago, Jussie Smollett's MAGA Country?

Oh. Wait. Forget it. Blame the guns. Not Blue Chicago, where DEM demagogues and politicians have spent several successful decades combating violent crime in the Windy City. Oh. Wait. Forget that too.

Daily Mail: Schoolgirl and a man die and 17 others are injured after knifeman on stabbing rampage slashes commuters at a bus stop near Tokyo before slitting his own throat.

A schoolgirl and a man are dead and 17 others are injured after a mass stabbing near Tokyo on Tuesday morning.

A man wielding two knives slashed a group of commuters, mostly primary school girls, at a crowded bus stop during rush hour in Kawasaki, Japan. 

The wounded were rushed to nearby hospitals, and one girl has been confirmed dead, according to local station NHK.

Police have confirmed the suspect, believed to be in his 40s or 50s, has died after slashing himself in the neck.

A bus driver who witnessed the incident told officials the perpetrator had been holding a knife in each hand when he walked over to the bus stop and began slashing children.  

One witness told the New York Times the knifeman was shouting 'I will kill you.' 

The young children are believed to be first-grade students aged six to seven who were boarding a school bus when the man unleashed his attack.

ABC News reports 19 wounded:

NHK TV in Japan is quoting police as saying the suspect in a knife attack that wounded at least 19 people at a bus stop just outside Tokyo has died.

Police wouldn't publicly confirm the reports and it wasn't clear how many had died in Tuesday's attack.

Some Japanese media outlets are reporting at least three deaths, while some are saying two, including the attacker.

Baby Joe Biden hurt by NK's Kimmy comment that he's a, “fool of low IQ” and a “snob bereft of elementary quality as human being.”

Gropin' Joe, Sleepy Joe, Creepy Joe, Uncle Joe, Pervy Joe.

Add Baby Joe. If there's one thing we can agree on, it's that Baby Joe always takes the diplomatic route in his behavior.

Baby Joe Biden

Bloomaberg: Kim Jong Un refers to Joe Biden, " “fool of low IQ” and a “snob bereft of elementary quality as human being.”

I'd say Kimmy hit a Grand Slam, especially with the "snob" lob.

NY Post: President Trump agrees with Kimmy.

Baby Joe's feelings were hurt by Kimmy's comment and that Trump agreed. Oh, Dat's. So. Sad.

Big League Politics: But it's okay for Baby Joe, three months ago in Germany, to call America an embarrassment because of Trump.

It's normal behavior for U.S. Liberal politicians to defecate on The United States when they're on foreign soil. They can't help themselves.

Biden: "I was wondering where that thumb went. It was up my ass so long I thought I'd lost it forever."

And let's not forget Baby Joe's little on-off-on again-BFF love-affair with Vladimir Putin and his numerous policy contradictions flip-flops on Russia and Putin.

May 2019 - MSN: Biden declares, "dictators and tyrants like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin[.]".

November 2017 - Newsweek: Biden says he doesn't believe Putin; that Russia meddled in our presidential election.

April 2019 - Washington Free Beacon: Biden Defended Russia During 2012 Election, Denied It Was a ‘Major Adversary’.

March 2011 - The Pitt News: Biden, Putin; Best Friends Forever.

...according to CNN, Putin shocked Biden by opening up their meeting with a proposal that “his country and the United States abolish visas between them.”

Naturally, without thinking, Biden answered, “That it was a good idea,” and then — after realizing exactly what he was agreeing to — he quickly backtracked.

March 2011 - CS Monitor: Biden in Moscow, reaffirms US-Russia "Reset".

US Vice President Joe Biden, the man who coined the phrase "push the reset button" in reference to US-Russia relations, stopped by the Kremlin this week to check how the program was loading and propose some upgrades.

And, just last month, April 2019 - Conservative Review: Biden wanted to establish a ‘Biden-Putin commission’ to cozy up to the Kremlin.

Do you get the feeling that Biden will say and do anything, pander and contradict his own words, whenever it is politically expedient for him and his family? Like, if you met him and told him vanilla was your favorite flavor for a milkshake, he'd agree with you. If another person told him chocolate was their favorite flavor of milkshake, Biden would immediately concur. That kind of thing.

Four Arrested in Lyon, France Terrorist Attack. Main suspect a 24-year-old Algerian IT student.

The Guardian: French police arrest four over Lyon bomb blast.

French police have arrested four people over a package bomb explosion in the heart of the south-eastern city of Lyon last week that injured 13 people.

A police raid was also under way in a building in the Oullins suburb just south of the city, authorities said. The suspected bomber, a 24-year-old Algerian IT student, was among those arrested.

The man’s parents were also arrested and taken in for questioning, as was a second Algerian student who is a family relation, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office, which has jurisdiction over terrorism cases in France.

The suspect was previously unknown to police, Lyon’s mayor, Gérard Collomb, said.

World Atlas: The ??????? religion in Algeria dominates its demography, with around 99% of the population being followers of the faith.

St. Louis Blues vs Boston Bruins; the Blues easily the underdog in this match-up.

Boston on home ice, always nice. For the Blues, nothing better than that feeling of winning the first "away" game; really a boost for both morale and endorphins.

USA MacPaper: NHL injury list lists three players for the Bruins listed as "Probably Monday" while one Blues player, defenseman Vince Dunn is definitely out for tonight's game.

Blues Goalie Jordan Binnington has done a wonderful job in the playoffs.

IT IS THE SOLDIER

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
