As Americans everywhere were celebrating July 4 over the weekend, something far less patriotic was happening.

Emily Lance, of Philadelphia, was urinating all over a red, white and blue.

She posted the video on Facebook and has since received death threats and even claims there’s a $3,000 bounty on her head via Craigslist.

Lance wrote: ‘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.

‘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 fuck up.’



The video shows her using a funnel to stand and pee over a flag resting across a toilet seat until it falls into the water.

It has since vanished from her account, but a string of messages posted since the video show no signs of remorse.

She wrote: ‘People are wishing illness, harm, and suffering upon me over a piece of fabric. People are willing to MURDER someone over a flag. It’s so sad that people don’t realize how brainwashed they are. I’m gross for peeing on a symbol? LOOK AT YOURSELVES. You people epitomize all that is foul.’

One guy claims there’s a bounty on her head via a Craigslist ad, though a search of the website does not confirm this.

Lance has since pleaded people to stop attacking her father after he was targeted.

In another post, she explained her dad called her to say that he and his place of work have been subject to abuse.
