Vet Sees Protestors Stomping On U.S. Flag So He Does Something AMAZING [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a Vietnam War veteran was just charged with disorderly conduct after throwing his coffee at a Westboro Baptist Church protestor who had the nerve to attend Beau Bidens funeral. Richard Pierce was at the site to counter-protest when he notices the Westboro member dragging an American flag on the ground. I dont care who you are, youre not gonna disrespect the flag, and if I have to go to jail to defend our flag, Im gonna do it, Pierce told reporters. Still, he admits that if given the chance, he may have taken another course of action. Pierce spent six hours in jail for his actions. He then appeared in front of a judge who released him with a July 20 court day. What do you think? Did the protestor have it coming?
