There may be a couple American flags on the stage at the Democratic National Convention tonight, but there are several fewer on the streets of Philadelphia.
That’s because Bernie Sanders supporters burned Old Glory outside the convention arena.
Video shows a flag burning before a protester stomps on it to extinguish the flame.

Others were captured on camera burning a pile of flags, chanting, “F*ck the flag!” repeatedly.

Even more protesters burned an Israeli flag in the middle of a crosswalk, and chanted “Intifada, Intifada” and “Death to the U.S. empire.”
