Liberalism and hating America seem to go hand-in-hand, but what one Philadelphia woman filmed herself doing still managed to shock Americans across the country. Emily Lance had a friend tape her peeing on an American flag and then posted the video on Facebook — but she didn’t get quite the reaction she was hoping for.

Emily Lance is a self-described left-wing anarchist who supported Bernie Sanders and has posted things to social media suggesting that 9/11 was an inside job. To say she doesn’t like the United States might be an understatement, but she still made a massive mistake in posting one seriously offensive video on Facebook.

In the video, Lance uses a GoGirl — a device which allows women to pee standing up — to urinate on the flag while “Night Moves” by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band plays in the background. She captioned the video, “F*** your nationalism. F*** your country. F*** your stupid f****** flag.” It didn’t take long for the video to go viral, but Lance evidently didn’t expect to get such severe backlash. People quickly criticized her for being disrespectful to the country and the flag, and as the anger reached a fever pitch, Lance yanked the video off of Facebook.

Unfortunately for Lance, however, the Internet is forever.

People reacted on social media with fury and scorn:

In addition to people firing back at her for the video, Lance has also received death threats, with one person placing a $3,000 bounty on her head. She said that people have also begun targeting not only her family, but also their places of employment as well. “To whom it may concern, my Dad just called me and informed me that his place of employment has been targeted. As has he. Interestingly he respects THE FLAG and loves your country,” she said. “I do not live with him nor does he or anyone in my family agree with my shenanigans. They’ve got nothing to do with my decisions. Don’t take your anger out on the wrong people – you harassing them is displacing your emotions and the equivalent of blaming Jack for what Sally did.”

But Lance still defended her actions anyway, saying that it was “freedom of expression.” “Freedom (of speech/expression) means that I’m entitled to do and say as I please, EVEN if you don’t like it, so long as I am not physically hurting someone – and no, your precious feelings don’t count, that’s your own problem,” she wrote on Facebook. “What don’t you people understand? You’re celebrating freedom while damning me for doing the same. You can’t have it both ways. FREEDOM OR NONE. Practice what you preach or shut the f*** up.”

While Lance is right that she has freedom of speech and can say what she wants, freedom of speech doesn’t mean that she can say anything without receiving any backlash. Death threats are never acceptable, but she can’t post something offensive and then pout when people get angry.
