>>I believe that you have a perfect right to violently destroy the American flag as a protest; I believe I have a perfect right to violently protect said flag. These men did.<<

If it is their flag, their property, and they wish to violently destroy it as a protest, do you have the right to violently protect it?

On the other hand, I certainly acknowledge that if this were done in a public place, it is possible that some existing laws of that jurisdiction might be violated by such an act. It that were the case, lawfully-appointed authorities might have the duty to stop such an act. But not private citizens. But that is a whole different argument.
