No Charges But More Death Threats for Illinois Flag-Burner

URBANA, IL — Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz won't file charges against a 22-year-old Urbana man whose social media post of him burning a flag incited the wrath of the internet, prompting death threats against him and demands that his employer fire him.

Urbana police arrested Bryton Mellott on the Fourth of July, saying his actions constituted disorderly conduct and became a threat to others, including his employer.

On Tuesday, prosecutors decided there was no case.

Bryton Mellot hates America.

Quote
"I am not proud to be an American. In this moment, being proud of my country is to ignore the atrocities committed against people of color, people living in poverty, people who identify as women, and against my own queer community on a daily basis,” Mellott wrote on his Facebook page."

If you hate America, than leave!

Looks like someone got themselves "Wallduded".

What is Bryton Mellot's DU name?   :mental:

Self-inflicted gun shot wound  here. I feel no sympathy or pity for his blatant scream for attention. Let him live with the consequences of his actions for once. As obviously he has never had to do that in his life.
