Are you ing kidding me? He brandishes a knife and wants to fight anyone who wants to take the flag back.i don't see the intimidation.
We're all lucky to still be alive.
An actual felony was committed in this case.
yeah. he sure told that camera. poor camera.
now this i gotta hear
why aren't you guys guarding the border? all this time and you haven't managed to bag an illegal.
I see dumb people.
How is the Mexican flag illegal?
If those are indeed the owners of the flag -- the photographer's questions imply just that -- it's armed robbery. Armed robbery is a felony in Nevada.
it's your reflection.
are you ing kidding me. This guy is an example of an everyday American hero, stepping up and making sure not only was his voice heard, but the right thing was done. The person(s) who put the Mexican flag above our flag are the exact opposite if you ask me. Sorry if I turn a blind eye to a "by the book" charge against some mexicans who obviously don't love this nation and should probably be deported anyway. I won't point an obvious issue you missed: that they (the mexicans) were looking for trouble.

Chump's ilk are the type that spit on this man when he returned from Vietnam.
Maybe he should just shoot them in the back when they are running away! A true American hero!
nobody said he was in vietnam, dumbass.
Armed robbery is not the right thing to do.I know it's against the US code, but what is the actual penalty for flying the US flag under another flag?The person(s) who put the Mexican flag above our flag are the exact opposite if you ask me.I'm fine with both parties respecting the law. You obviously are not. What evidence do you have that they are not legal citizens?Sorry if I turn a blind eye to a "by the book" charge against some mexicans who obviously don't love this nation and should probably be deported anyway.
What evidence do you have that he was spat upon? And no, I'm the type that is against armed robbery for the purpose of correcting the relative heights of pieces of cloth.
in messicans and their national pride! Everyone knows all other nations suck.
I don't care if the flag was from ing Sweden. It doesn't fly over ours. This is not an anti-Mexican thing, as much as you guys would like to make it about that.
Since it's "illegal" to fly another flag over the US one, what's the penalty?
i know. now you've turned it into "spitting on a guy that came back from vietnam even though nobody said he was in vietnam".
Rewatch the video. He doesn't run up with the knife out while foaming at the mouth. He calmly pulls the flag down before he brings his knife into view. The mexicans couldve stopped him before he did anything without fear of the knife since he didn't brandish it til later. They just chose not to.
Death, or an obvious inferrence that you don't like America. I forget.I know it's against the US code, but what is the actual penalty for flying the US flag under another flag?
He didn't break the law. If he did, its not for armed robbery.I'm fine with both parties respecting the law. You obviously are not.
What evidence do you have that they are? Besides, I never "assumed", I justified my take with the fact they knowingly and willingly broke the law in a way that is extremely hurtful to most American citizens. Therefore, I must presume he/they isn't one.What evidence do you have that they are not legal citizens?
armed robberyAnd no, I'm the type that is against armed robbery for the purpose of correcting the relative heights of pieces of cloth.the guy used his knife to take the flag off the pole. He never intimidated the actual men there. The whole purpose of the final bit he did was that the American flag is more than just cloth, its something worth dying for. So come and get it if you want it back - they obviously don't care for it, so they won't.
I'm telling you. The man that cut down that flag is a Vietnam vet.
Quick! Call Vets with Knives!
