| Two Ohio Teens Arrested for Burning Flags |

The Associated Press Friday, July 29, 2005; 12:57 AM FAIRFIELD, Ohio -- Two teenage boys were charged Thursday with burning 20 small American flags set up in honor of a soldier who died from injuries suffered in the Iraq war. Police said the boys apparently did not know the significance of the flags they took from the yard and set afire under a car belonging to the soldier's sister-in-law. The vehicle was destroyed. The flags were to commemorate Army Pfc. Tim Hines, 21, of Fairfield, who died in a Washington, D.C., hospital July 14 of injuries suffered last month when a bomb was detonated while he was in a convoy traveling in Baghdad. His funeral was last Friday and the fire was set early Saturday. The boys, ages 15 and 13, were arrested Thursday and charged with one count of arson and two counts of criminal mischief before being released to their parents. Police did not identify the boys, but said they also were involved in other vandalism that morning. Fairfield is about 15 miles north of Cincinnati. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/articl e/2005/07/29/AR2005072900 053.html" title="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/articl e/2005/07/29/AR2005072900 053.html" target="_blank"http://www.washingtonpost.com... |

They were arrested for trespassing, arson, and/or vandalism, I'll bet. But not for flag burning.

True, but it's sexier in the media to write that headline. I generally leave the original head intact. Nope, no bias in this story...
