A man who appears to have been burning American flags on Friday in downtown State College was confronted by three men who took the remaining, un-burned flags from him.
A video on social media Friday afternoon captured the incident, which occurred at the intersection of West College Avenue and Atherton Street.
One of the men who confronted the flag burner said ‘If you don’t like this country you can get out.’
‘I love this country and… we need to burn them,’ the man responded.
After a brief struggle, two of the men wrest the remaining flags away.
