Well folks that is the law ! Right or wrong !
So ya ain't got no business totin a flag on museum property unless ya got permission.
That's not to say I don't think the flags should not be returned to the chapel,
I think they should, but all protest should remain within the framework of the law, or ya gotta accept the consequences ! Even though this law was amended AFTER the Flaggers started to protest, it's the law !
