Guy in military clothing with an American flag on his shoulder burns an American flag in front of the white house while being filmed by bystanders.

Apparently the EO declares burning flags in protest to be "incitement to riot"

I bet the final charge isn't going to be flag- or EO-related at all. It'll probably be something like illegal fire, arson, vandalism, etc.
