Urbana Illinois – For the last two Independence Days Bryton Mellott has made it a point to be a disrespectful a**hole. Two years in a row Mellott has photographed himself burning an American Flag, and then posted the photos online.

On Independence Day 2016 Mellott posted a photo of himself burning the American Flag. Shortly after, he was arrested but released about 5 hours later.

In Jan. of 2017 Mellott filed a lawsuit against the Urbana Police Department for arresting him.

On Independence Day of 2017 Mellott once again burned the American Flag, this time his friends joined in. Pictures were again posted to social media.

After the second Flag burning incident, Mellott mentioned on his Facebook that there was a possibility of him being fired from Walmart. But it doesn’t appear that happened. 

Recently Mellott was awarded $15,000 in the lawsuit settlement and will also receive $20,000 for attorney fees.

I find it absolutely disgusting that liberals not only think it’s ok to disrespect the American Flag, our Country, and Soldiers, but now they’re making money off doing it?! What is wrong with people, including these judges!?

After announcing his lawsuit win, Mellott updated his profile photo on Facebook to the one below:
