They were arrested for burglary, the stole stuff from a frat house and the frat members snitched them out. if you are going to post something, post the entire truth of the story. Not something that you want to mislead people on.

I'll show you how to do it:thumb:

After following leads and conducting interviews, investigators determined that Fischer and Bush had asked members of a University of Kentucky fraternity for items to make the effigy but did not tell the fraternity members why they wanted them, Monroe said.
Fischer and Bush were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, burglary and theft by unlawful taking, police said. The burglary and theft charges involve allegedly removing items from a room in the fraternity house.
"We had a pre-established dialogue with this fraternity, and they spoke to us very openly and freely," Monroe

you cant arrest someone for doing it at their home, just like the man in ohio who did it at his home, but you can arrest someone for doing this on a public campus.

Can you arrest someone for burning an American flag on a public campus or is that freedom of expression?

It depends on the proximity to the building and the open flame laws. Usually you can get away with burning a thing as expression, and a flag is just a symbolic thing.

This effigy stuff has gone to far. Unless there is actual intent behind it it is all immature and petty.

My favorite thing is watching the two teams gripe about how unfair it all is.

What makes you think that the people squalling about this are reasonable? :lol:
