Guy in military clothing with an American flag on his shoulder burns an American flag in front of the white house while being filmed by bystanders.
Apparently the EO declares burning flags in protest to be "incitement to riot"

I bet the final charge isn't going to be flag- or EO-related at all. It'll probably be something like illegal fire, arson, vandalism, etc.
So...where's the riot, then? I was told there would be a riot. This is very disappointing.
- Didnt you see all the microorganisms were apeshit, what do you mean you dont carry a microscope to the whitehouse?
  Oh just me?
  lMAO
- No... see it incites a riot, it never said that riot was at that location. I'm assuming there was a riot somewhere because of this obviously
  
  The Butterfly Riot. I love it. Good name for a band.
