Vet cuts down illegal Mexican flag

[DarrinS]

Probably an old video, but it's the first time I've seen it.

Good for him.

[RandomGuy]

Meh.

Could have been handled better. More feel-good jingoism.

[DarrinS]

Meh.

Could have been handled better. More feel-good jingoism.

I guess it just means more to him that it does to you.

[Bender]

yep, old news. Cool though.

[rjv]

and stealing and carrying a large knife in public is not illegal ?

[ChumpDumper]

Armed robbery is ok if you love the piece of cloth you are stealing.

Armed Robbery? You're one of those idiots that think burglary is robberty too, right?

[ChumpDumper]

Armed Robbery?

You have already proven your ignorance of the law. The owners of the flag were right there. There was a weapon and intimidation involved. It's pretty clear.

whats a robberty?

[Yonivore]

whats a robberty?

A misspellling...didn't mean to confuse you.

[Marcus Bryant]

That'll show the brown man.

[Yonivore]

That'll show the brown man.

Racist.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yes, you are.

[Yonivore]

Yes, you are.

Not me, I don't speak in terms that ascribe actions to a persons race. "That'll show the brown man," is a racist statement. You made it, I didn't.

I can probably look up the sentencing guidelines to armed robbery in Nevada pretty easily, but I haven't been able to find the penalty for flying another nation's flag over that of the US. I'm going to guess the latter is a bit less harsh than the former.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Usa! Usa! Usa! Usa!

[Spursmania]

Wtf?

[Oh, Gee!!]

it's criminal mischief at least

[Spurminator]

And I'm proud to be an American
Where our flag flies higher than yours
And if you don't abide that law
I'll record myself marching over to your shop to cut down the flag and send it to the local news without talking to you, you stupid ing Mexican.

[TheProfessor]

[Oh, Gee!!]

[Oh, Gee!!]

and he did steal that 'merica flag

and stealing and carrying a large knife in public is not illegal ?

Nevada

[Viva Las Espuelas]

yeah. this was a bit much. destruction of property. i don't see the intimidation. one of him and two of them. plus anybody who was in the store, but i see how this would upset a veteran. doesn't make it right though. i think this happened last year sometime.

1976: Baseball player, Rick Monday, steals American flag from two peaceful demonstrators.


For the record, I can't tell the skin color of the "victims" of this particular flag theft, so I can't truly judge Monday's motivation for this heinous crime.
