Serves them right. I hope the two non-citizens get deported.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Three Yale University students were arrested and charged with arson and other offenses after they allegedly set fire to an American flag hanging from the porch of a New Haven neighborhood home.

The three were arrested early Tuesday after officers on patrol spotted the burning flag and tore it from the pole where it was mounted to the house on Chapel Street, police said.

Said Hyder Akbar, 23, Nikolaos Angelopoulos, 19, and Farhad Anklesaria, also 19, were arrested on charges ranging from reckless endangerment to arson.

Freshmen Angelopoulos and Anklesaria are both foreign citizens. Anklesaria is British and Angelopoulos is Greek.

Akbar, a senior, was born in Pakistan, according to police, but is a U.S. citizen. Both Anklesaria and Angelopoulos had to turn over their passports.

Lock them all up and deport them. Even the so called American citizen as he doesn't appreciate what he has here. My bet is they are all muslim as well.

Don't like America? Get the fuck out and don't ever come back.

So why on earth would they burn a flag that belongs to someone else? I mean I dont think flag burners are very bright but youd think they would be smart enough to do it in a way that doesnt get them arrested.

Yeah that was a pretty dumb stunt. Least they could have done is take it down from the building and not risk burning some innocent persons house down.

Flag burning is okay but only with your own flag.

That would have been theft and still wrong and illegal.

Burning a flag, except for proper disposal, is NOT OK.

Someday...hopefully you'll grow up... and understand patriotism, and love of one's country, really mean...

An American citizen was rejected for each of these assholes for admission to a prestigious American college. This is what America is now: once upon a time, it nurtured itself. Now, it destroys itself.

They got off easy. I'd have shot them for setting fire to my colors.

For once, I agree with you. We need to take care of our own before we start giving freebies to others; especially, ones who show their gratitude like these morons.

Maybe Im just being too optmistic but i wouldnt have thought that would make them just be stupid.

Good thing cowardly asshats like you have the law to hide behind. If you actually had to survive of your own accord, you wouldn't last long.

And I do believe they just passed a bill here in Texas that assholes attacking you no longer have to be inside your house, but on your property. And you can rest assured I would be telling of the assault against me to get to my flag.

And I could hardly wait to ensure you knew all about it.
