War protester sets flag on fire:
"The protester's mother, Barbara Vollick, said her son was trying to make a statement against the war in Iraq, not against the United States.

'He's just a college student being crazy,' she said.

Murrieta police Sgt. Dennis Vrooman said, 'He was basically a one-man demonstration.'

He was trying to get others to join him, Vrooman said, 'but he wasn't getting any cooperation.'

Vollick said her son was upset about President Bush's speech on Iraq last week.

'He's very angry that our young men are dying,' Vollick said.

'He didn't even get to say anything,' she said, alleging that about a half-dozen people attacked him and pulled the flag away. One man punched him in the face, she said.

Vollick said Sunday her son wasn't in any condition to speak with the press. "
