AFAIK nobody has yet been killed for burning a flag. Many people have been killed for just being of the same nationality as someone who was seen as insulting Islam, let alone burning a Koran. Your slippery slope fails to establish it's contingencies as factual and therefore qualifies as an abuse of the 'transitivity of implication' . (It's neither that sloped nor that slippery in other words, )

Yet all it would take, according to you logic, would be for one nut to kill someone of the same race/origin/whatever as some one who bured a US flag and cite that as the reason. According to your logic the flag burner would be guilty of manslaugther. Precedent would have nothing to do with it. You are going down a slope, but just refuse to see it.

Since nobody likes my car analogy how about a person who uncaringly lets their vicious dog kill their child? By your logic you would justifiably destroy the dog but let the irresponsible parent off scot free. Aren't our soldiers entitled to the same concern for their safety that we expect parents to give to their children?

Again, your analogy falls on its face. The dog owner would have had direct control over the dog. The Pastor in question has no control over what the filth in Afghanistan used to kill with.

Stop trying to frame this in a "lets protect our soldiers" argument, because that is bullshit. You would protect us by violating the very document we are sworn to uphold. You make our oath worthless. You don't give a shit about us.
