Meaning
This reads as a personal measure of public shock, where patriotism makes the violence feel even more jarring. It can be taken to mean that love of country is bound up with the expectation that its democratic symbols will be respected, and it lands especially strongly when someone is trying to explain why a civic attack felt like a wound.
