Emily Lance, from Philadelphia, sparked outrage with the controversial video
A WOMAN has had a £2,300 bounty placed on her head after she was filmed peeing on the American flag on the Fourth of July holiday.
Emily Lance, from Philadelphia, sparked outrage when she shared the video of herself using a Shewee to urinate onto the flag, which was submerged in a toilet.
She captioned the Facebook video: “F*** your nationalism. F*** your country. F*** your stupid f****** flag.”
Hundreds of furious social media users have slammed the controversial video, labelling her “unpatriotic”, “disgusting” and “attention seeking”.
Michael Moates wrote: “This p**ses me off! Emily Lance go somewhere else if you hate the US that much.”
Jefferson Rooney said: “That is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life you're nothing but pure trailer trash get the h*** out of my country.”
Kristen M Evans wrote: “You have absolutely no respect for yourself or your parents! Aren't you embarrassed by this!
“This is nor expressing your amendment rights? Freedom of expression by disrespecting the very symbol that protects and reminds us all to of our freedom.”
Jeremy Miller added: “You made it to Craigslist Philly too. There’s a $3,000 bounty on you head.”
Lance was seen giggling in the shocking video, which SunOnline has decided not to show.
She enraged Facebook users further when she wrote: “Soiled flag. Fished out of my toilet. Sold to the highest bidder.”

After an onslaught of negative comments, Lance hit back saying freedom of expression and speech in the First Amendment means she is entitled to say what she likes.
“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.”
The self-confessed anarchist admitted she had received death threats and her dad’s workplace had been targeted following the stunt.
“Interestingly he respects THE FLAG and loves your country,” she wrote.
“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.”
She later added: "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."
