Border security was tight at the Dallas
County courthouse. The demonstrators who were
not arrested on Wednesday were closely checked.
They were here to see their friends in court.
A wild rampage through downtown Dallas led to
legal problems.
About 90 so-called punkers were arrested for
disorderly conduct and burning an American
flag. Twenty one year old Deniece Williams is
one of the suspects.
Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties
Union try to get her out of jail without
posting bond.
The bond for the misdemeanor crime is 200
dollars, but Williams says she does not have
any money. Judge Tom Fuller denied a request,
and so she'll stay in jail for alleged
accomplices. Twenty one year old Kent to Wayne
and 19 year old Michael Kazik will
also stay in jail for allegedly burning the
flag as a national symbol.
It stands for what
our country is.
And like I said, I think any law abiding person
would be offended by the suspects.
We'll have a pretrial hearing next week because
