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.

One need not be excited to commit armed robbery.

Death, or an obvious inferrence that you don't like America. I forget.

Please let me know once you figure it out.

He didn't break the law. If he did, its not for armed robbery.

He absolutely broke the law, and if those are the flag's owners, it is armed robbery.

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 assume he/they isn't one.

How do you know they knew that is part of the US Code? You don't. How is it "hurtful"? Does it hurt people's feelings? Is that a crime now?

armed robbery 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.

If those were the flag's owners it meets all the elements of armed robbery in Nevada. I know you just want to support it because you are apparently hurt by the sight of some flag flying over that of the US, but if you actually claim to respect the law you can't support it.

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy.

You failed once again. You must be going for the record.

[ChumpDumper]

i actually think texas is the only state that can.

when it is necessary for the state and United States flags to be flown from the same flagpole, the state flag should be displayed underneath the United States flag.

More fail.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

More fail.

ah. must be confusing that with the six flags code. that one the texas flag is the highest.

give us a break darrins.

a 5 minute video?

i'll pass.

Great videos! Saving the flag from being disrespected is an incredible sign of patriotism.

"A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth." -Henry Ward Beecher

"We Identify the flag with almost everything we hold dear on earth, peace, security, liberty, our family, our friends, our home... But when we look at our flag and behold it emblazoned with all our rights we must remember that it is equally a symbol of our duties. Every glory that we associate with it is the result of duty done."

I just thought it would be easier for you than reading.


And it does present both sides.

What six flags code?

[ChumpDumper]

I think they missed one side -- has anyone ever been prosecuted for something like this?

Since burning the flag is protected free speech, I don't see how this could actually be an enforceable law -- just a protocol guideline.

[clambake]

And it does present both sides.

both sides of what?

One need not be excited to commit armed robbery.

he was neither excited nor committing armed robbery. If you think 12 jurors would find this man guilty of that crime, you're a dumbass. I know for 100% you're not a patriot already, so your answer here will pretty much sum things up for me.

Please let me know once you figure it out.

its Death.

Nope.

How do you know they knew that is part of the US Code? You don't.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, first off. Second, you're either being facetious or you're just dumb. They know flying it above the American is wrong. If I saw anyone do it anywhere I could get to, I'd respond in the same way (not with a knife and cutting it down maybe, but bringing the flag down and taking it off the pole).

How is it "hurtful"? Does it hurt people's feelings? Is that a crime now?

To fly any flag above the US is against the law. It also tends to enrage everyone but those who should be deported. Therefore, expect angry people, and lots of them, to show up. And chances are, calling the police would be foolish. They'd arrive and if the flag hadn't been taken down already, they'd do it. Then they'd clear everyone up and leave. No armed robbery.

If those were the flag's owners it meets all the elements of armed robbery in Nevada.

Disagree due to cir stances. Again, no jury would convict him of armed robbery. I don't believe that's really even debatable.

I know you just want to support it because you are apparently hurt by the sight of some flag flying over that of the US,

I'm just defending the flag, what any patriot does. You are not one of us and therefore, have no idea why we would be distraught over the situation.

No, I don't think he would be convicted by a jury -- but neither was OJ.

Says who? You have no proof of this. They might just be stupid.

I'd probably talk to the guy first -- but hey, I believe in the First Amendment more than I do pieces of cloth.

To fly any flag above the US is against the law.

So who has been successfully prosecuted for such a display?

It also tends to enrage everyone but those who should be deported. Therefore, expect angry people, and lots, to show up.

I counted one guy.

Cir stances? What, you're claiming the guy was temporarily insane? I completely agree that nobody would want to touch that case with a ten foot pole -- Americans can be pussies when it comes to things like that.

I'm just defending the flag, what any patriot does. You are not one of us and therefore, have no idea why we would be distraught over the situation.

I'd rather defend a person's rights in this country than your feelings about a piece of cloth.

Thank you.

(m) When the state flag is displayed with the flags of other states of the United States, nations other than the United States, and international organizations, the state flag should be displayed on the state flag's right, that is, the observer's left, on a separate flagpole or staff. This subsection does not apply to the United States or any agency of the United States, including the armed services, when federal law, custom, or practice dictates otherwise. The state flag should not be displayed above the flags of other states of the United States, nations, and international organizations on the same flagpole, and the state flag should not be displayed from a higher flagpole or staff.

Strike three.

You failed.
