SOT Brent Adams, Flag burning participant, (in English): "We do it to exercise the right, because it is a protected freedom, and I never really wanted to burn a flag until the moment they tried to take that freedom away. So, it's very provocative but the way we do it as a burn ritual it's cathartic and it goes kind of deep. It's celebrating and exercising a freedom and it takes that symbol of the flag and it makes it more of an exploration and an experience of freedom and liberty, more than just waving the flag."

Several Americans gathered to roast national flags over a bonfire in Santa Cruz, California on Thursday, commemorating the annual 'flagburn' event in celebration of First Amendment rights.
The event, which began a decade ago following a proposal to criminalize the action of burning an American flag, became a yearly tradition to be carried out one day before US independence day.
Though the proposal was never passed and flag burning remains protected under the first amendment, a group gathers at Seabright Beach each year to celebrate their constitutional rights.
One participant, Brent Adams, said that the the flag burning event is a celebration that exercises freedom and liberty, since a country that allows its citizens to burn a flag "is a very free country."
