I am glad to see a true American stand up to Mexicans who think they can take over the US. I am sorry that only one American citizen took on this issue.

I am so proud of this Veteran. Hooray for him. Finally someone stands up to what is happening in this country. I Want My Country Back.
Maybe this is the beginning of something. We need to wake up. This is America. Many Men and Women gave their lives for our country.
This Man deserves a Medal!!!!

He could have more diplomatic and judging by his actions he was very hostile (pent up anger). I am sure the Mexican owners (who are legally running a business here) were unaware of the law. A simple explanation would have sufficed. This is one reason for all the turmoil in this country, ie… the way we approach and handle situations as Americans.

If the Mexicans were only confused or unaware it’s illegal to fly another flag above the US flag wouldn’t they have asked why TV reporters/cameramen were showing up and taking video. Contrary to the liberal, some people do know why they are doing offensive things and they do them to send a clear message. Maybe if we explain how uncomfortable we are with 12-20 million criminals breaking into the US from Mexico the criminals will realize it’s inappropriate and stop doing it. I’m sure they don’t know it’s a crime. Mexico is well known around the world for stringent observance of laws, isn’t it?

Mexican Guy: why are you scared to publish your name?

For the video content:

That is what it will take to get past the liberal (a.k.a. progressive) attitude in this country. I would do the same if I found our flag (that I have server for and under) being subjugated by placing it beneath another flag IN MY OWN *(&^*(&%^*$^*& country.

If you love Mexico so much….go back there. Do yo uever wonder why nobody ever gets exported into the United States for sneaking into Mexico?

First of all the only US citizens that sneak into Mexico for permanent residence are fleeing from the law in the US. Secondly, if they are caught, they are imprisoned in the not-so-accommodating-as-the-US prison system.

I am proud of this veteran (as I am of all veterans) and am ashamed of every other LEGAL American citizen that walked past this criminal act without taking similar action.

BTW: The fact that these Mexican business owners did not know the law is no excuse. As there is video evidence of their law violation, will they be charged? Is there a law officer in this town that has the moral integrity to do so?

Mr. Veteran: I salute and respect you.

I am with you, Army. Seeing as how our so called Leaders have turned their backs on this Country and it’s Constitution, it is now in our hands to set the matter straight.

I agree with the Army Veteran. I am an immigrant and also a veteran (ex-Marine) and I strongly support what he did. Please do not tell me the store owner was not aware of what he did (flying flag) was wrong! Many of these folks know the law better than you and I, and over time they have beeen led to believe they own this country, and can do whatever they please. Hell, they know the same could not be done in Mexico.
Mr. Veteran I salute and respect you too.

So what if the Veteran was mad? “pent up anger”, boo hoo. Those two forigeners knew he’d beat their ass if they tried to do anything to stop him.
-News flash: emotion is NOT what runs this country, this Vet. was in order, as his actions are what matters, and good for him!

I hate stupid liberals. I hate stupid immigrants that think we owe them something too. I guess I have “pent up anger” too? …Oh well.

From one veteran to another – Hurah!

The store guy was surprised. Didn’t appear he had english communication. I would have been angry too if I had to look at that daily.. and no way to tell them “The flag is in the wrong spot” in english. Anger justified. I am a vet too. Learning the language of a country is a good idea.. the rules happen much easier then.

Good for this great American. Hopefully he wiped his boots off on that mexican flag while he was at it.

I support the vet and I support our country. If the illegal mexicans love their country so much that they like to see their flag flying above our flag, then they can return to their country where they can fly that flag anywhere and anytime they want. If they love their country so much, then go back.

I’m also a disabled vet of O.I.F., so from this vet to the one in the video: HOOAH! Thank you brother!

I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with that man any day, before I will allow my country to be over run by this illegal invasion.

We have been diplomatic and civil, up to this point, but here along the Mexican border in Arizona, we know how bad it has gotten!

The next time you see any flag flying, that is not the stars and stripes. Remove it! Damn it, our laws will be enforced, or the citizens will replace our government, just as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

Mexico is singled out, because they are right next door and send a disproportionate amount of illegals north, to send money home. Those who speak Spanish are the subject of suspicion, because never before in America, has any other foreign language, been forced upon Americans, in our own country.
Every other nationality, has learned English and assimilated into our culture as proud Americans.

Wake Up! These Mexican and other illegal aliens of all races, are out to harm America! Do what this veteran did and FIGHT BACK!

REMEMBER RAMOS & COMPEAN- REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

What a funny comment from “Mexican guy.”
The Mexicans didn’t know the law.

But when I get into trouble, the judge tells me that “ignorance of the law is NO exeption!”

The racial double-standards speak volumes!

[...] Unedited video  posted by Geoffrey at 8:55 am   [...]

I don’t mind them keeping their heritage when they come here, heck, that is one of the great things about the USA, all the different cultures, but they darn well better not be flying their flag over the US flag!

Too many of the new immigrants don’t want to blend in like the previous generations of immigrants to become true Americans. If they want to come here to live, they need to embrace the USA and assimilate, not have us cater to them by publishing everything in Spanish, or Asian, Arabic.
It’s time to make English the offical language of the the USA for all government affairs.

Mexican Guy – STOP SNIVELING! Ignorance of the law – or ignorance of common courtesy towards your hosts – is no excuse! Wouldn’t work for me or anyone else. The least the offensive store owner should have done is apologize to the Veteran, and all Americans, for his grave offense. I wonder how long his rag flew over our flag?

Should of checked asked for their green cards

American are a bit late now, the horse has bolted. Is not there like 70 Million Mexican and South American people now living in the US? and are not 25 Million of them illegal? And does not your Federal Government want to give amnesty to all illegals. Yes, I say it was a bit late now.

i am a viet nam vet and damn proud of the vet that rescued, yes rescued, our flag.

As far as I’m concerned, flying another nation’s flag over the U.S. flag on U.S. soil is a blatant profession of invasion. If they are so fond of Mexico over the United States, why in the hell are they here?

I want to give that a guy a hug! To see a real American, standing up for our country, thrills me to no end. And to think that our cowardly and spineless congressmen and law enforcement sit around and do nothing – what kind of Americans are these people!

And “Mexican Guy”, we sure do have pent up anger. We are all disgusted and absolutely sick of seeing illegals breaking our laws and flouting it then having the nerve to fly our flag upside down, flying the Mexican flag above ours, and telling us to go back to Europe. We will not let you take our country away from us. Let me tell you, there are many more people like that man, who are going to start defending our flag and country.

******************************************
******** I AM BORN/RAISED MEXICAN ********

…and all I can say is THAT was AWESOME!!

If any immigrant loves another country so
much, then please do us a favor and leave.

Mr. Veteran I would like to shake your hand
and buy you a beer some day, we NEED more
Americans like you.

All the concerns over the Mexican flag flying over the flag of the PRESENT United States is heartening however, if we don’t stop the merger of Mexico, canada and the USA into the North American Union, we will all live to see the Stars and Stripes laid to rest along with our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and our entire foundation of what the United States founding fathers envisioned. While the citizens of the USA are distracted by the war in Iraq, the border problem, the election, and other intentionally planned items, the ones who want to make the USA into a euro type country are steadily pushing forward.

This was a fine act that I was very grateful to see. What bothers me is the gentlemen’s age. His generation won’t be with us much longer and we will miss them dearly. I wished it would have been a younger person that stood up for the country. But in our increasingly politically correct school system, I fear that fewer and fewer of our youth have this sense of honor and country. My part in defense of my country will be to continue to home-school my children and hopefully instill the right sense of pride and honor in the country that it so richly deserves.

FROSTYREDBIRD makes and excelent point (little of f the topic) but then again. Great time to make it.

The ideals that nation were built on are dying fast and seems that almost nobody cares…

I want my kids to grow up in the America that I knew. the one where you can say the Pledge of Aligance, have the right to keep and bare arms, freedom of speach and expression.

I love this guy. It’s about time we start taking OUR country back from the illegals and dhimmitudes.

I would have killed them. I mean if their not supposed to be here then how is it a crime if they’re dead??

God Bless that Vet!

wow… who cares. it’s just flags.

Brother! Bravo Zulu! My hat’s off to you, thank you for doing the right thing. Since the entire incident was caught on tape, how about contacting the Federal Prosecuter and prefering charges against the owner of this bar for breaking Federal Law?? If those organizations who support “Illegal Aliens” (U.S. Government legal terminology) prevail upon the owner to file any type of charges against you, you need to have already filed charges against him.

Call me crazy, but weren’t the Mexicans in Reno first? By the logic of the above comments the Mexicans would be perfectly justified in taking back the Southwest because it was theirs first and we took it by force.

Rather than getting into a violent chicken and egg battle (like Israel and Palestine) why not just live together? I just had lunch at a Cuban place and it was delicious.

Now, obviously, I don’t feel as threatened as the rest of the people who have left comments because I did graduate from my public high school and I don’t compete for unskilled jobs (that’s right, I’m one of those Americans who won’t do the jobs that the immegrants will). I just find it interesting the way that highly educated YUPIs embrace immegrants whereas white trash usually fall victim to racist propaganda.

Poor Americans.

Let me begin by saying my wife is Cuban and I am white. I am in n o way racist. Not even a huge patriot. That guy was right for doing what he did. There are over a million Mexicans in this country belonging to organizations with the goal of reclaiming California and Texas for Mexico. Yet, they are too cowardly to fight us for it. I’ve been yelled at for not knowing Spanish and called stupid.
Women are raped and murdered by men who will never be caught because they are undocumented. Think of your family. I don’t mind immigration but calling me racist because I want you to be paid a legal wage and have identification is crazy. Stop being cowards and fight us for our country instead of trying to steal it like a thief in the night.

oh yeah, Jef….I graduated college. It won’t be long till your job is outsourced or undercut. Smirky
sounding mf

As an immigrant myself, I stand and salute that VET! people don’t know what that flag represent, and how many lives have die to protect this country and that flag. The beautiful freedom of speech that everyone use here on the net is part of that flag representation, SO HONOR IT. From a sailor to a vet I salute you!

[...] Reno Veteran forcefully removes an illegally flown Mexican Flag. read more | digg [...]

what was more illegal? stealing a flag and damaging propery ( the cable) or order that the flags were displayed? we live in a contry that we are able to burn our flags legaly….I would have this vet put in jail for damages.

The only thing I regret about this, is that the veteran should have ripped the mexican flag up, thrown it in the mexicans face, and told him to to go home!

The only think this looks like is a nazi attacking a jewish shop. Is that America?

So many vets forget that their Oath of Office REQUIRES above all else to defend the Constituion. Period.

What this “vet” did is nothing short of theft and I hope he is prosecuted and thrown in jail. He is an utter disgrace.

Wow, if you stupid rednecks had as much passion as this towards issues that actually MATTER this would be a better country. It’s a damned flag and you’re acting as if your daughter was raped by savages. Do you know how much of OUR money your president is spending on an unjust war? Do you know how many citizens there are in this country without health insurance? Do you realize that slowly but sure this country is turning into a corporate state at the mercy of its military industrial complex? If you were real Americans you’d be up in arms over these things which will affect your friends and family instead of hiding behind your fake patriotism and anonymous user name. You people make me ashamed to be an American. Wake up and take your heads out of your own behind and maybe read a book while you’re at it.

Dear “PUBLICLY EDUCATED”,

You certainly do not appear to have the level of education that you claim with your naive and baseless comments. Actually the Southwestern United States was ceded to the US via the “Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo” in 1848. This treaty ended the Mexican-American war which was initiated by Mexican aggression after the independent territory of Texas was annexed into the United States. Mexico started hostilities against the United States against the advise of the British and French on April 24th 1846 when a 2,000 strong detachment of Mexican Calvary attacked a 63 man strong US Border patrol. The United States just ended the war that Mexico Started and we won and reaped the benefits. The Leadership of Mexico signed the “Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo” and we also paid $15,000,000 for the territory. Don’t try to rewrite history just because Mexico didn’t have a favorable outcome. The Southwestern United States is ours for the keeping and anyone who suggests otherwise is ignorant of history and needs to read a book.

I admire the courage of this VET” to do as all Americans that fought for the American Flag, my grand father 1st ww1, my father WW2, my Uncle Korean, my brother and me Nam, my son desert storm fought for that great flag.
If these pepper snappers love Mexico so much, they need to take that nasty flag back from whence they come, and stay there”

Hey Nicolas….Those Jews were citizens. Tell you what. Go into Mexico illegally and get caught. We’ll see if you feel that way after sitting in a crappy Mexican jail for 2-3 weeks before being released, as opposed to the 12 hrs. we detain illegals after feeding them and sending them on their way. It’s not about race…DUH. I don’t want them sent back. Just give them an ID card and pay them a LEGAL wage so I don’t lose my job over someone willing to work for 2$ an hour. This issue is why minimum wage is still so low, and that works up the chain. Every time you bring it back to race you sound like an idiot. Your argument and comparison to Nazi’s is pathetic.

Les, being that you are ashamed to be an American, I’m sure you can export yourself to Mexico, and hang out with the enlightened populace therein. If you do not understand the significance of the American flag then you have no business in my country. And where do you get off using a word like “redneck”? You’d surely admonish anyone using “wetback”.

Ignorance of the law is NO EXCUSE! The authorities should have been the ones to remove the illegality. However, law enforcement acts very slowly except for traffic violations. So, as a veteran and citizen of the United States, I applaud the actions of this man to make the situation CORRECT! Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to obey the laws of this great land. How about those who are running a “legal” business pursuing the concepts of being a law abiding person in America? Ha!

Obviously staged….

Drama/Attention WHORES!

It is not illegal you morons.
There is a tradition that should be followed that says the flag should be higher, the union should be on the top right etc.

There is also a rule (not law) thas says you should not wright or deface the flag, yet G.W Bush traditionally signs flags. You certainly would not call him unpatriotic or ignorant or any of the thousand slurs you uninformed idiots have slung.

les, you need to go with them”
with that yellow streak down your back, like most chickens..t liberals, and policial correctness,
has ruined this country” if you are ashamed to be an American leave”

I guess it takes more to offend me than a piece of cloth.

Do any of you supporting this ever stop to wonder why much of the world recoils from you? Don’t just spit out your anger at me, think… I’m on your side, as an ‘Americophile’ who finds myself defending your country to critics all the time, but what this uptight, semi-psychotic behaviour seems to speak of more than anything else is deep insecurity. I thought the US was a ‘melting pot’ that championed universal ‘freedom of speech’ – which presumably includes the freedom to profess loyalty to one’s birth origins at the same time as choosing to what extent to embracing your new land. In any case, as throughout history and all over the world, this part of the earth was stolen from its original inhabitants – actually, the whites are the immigrants. In western Europe I doubt anyone, even ex-servicemen, would bat an eyelid if you covered the flags of seven different countries with graffiti, put them through a blender and flushed them down the toilet. Yes, we too have conflicts over land. But we are also adult enough to realise that who we are does not rest entirely on, er… a coloured bit of cloth?

The US code does contain instructions on how the flag should be displayed. But, there are no penalties for violating the rules and the law is merely suggestive, evidenced by the word “shall” in the statutes. There is actually case law almost directly on this point. There is no way that any penalty for improperly flying the flag would stand constitutional challenge.

It is VERY clear that the right to burn and deface the American flag is protected as a first amendment right. I’m at school right now and can’t listen to the audio, but anybody who thinks that the guy flying the flag can get in any real trouble for this is mistaken. Sure, a state or local government can try, but they wouldn’t win in the end.

In the end, the veteran should be in more trouble for destroying personal property.

Dear Dan S: You, sir, are a moron. This is from the United Stated Code (portions edited). Sorry for the long post, but this is codified and just another part of our law that illegals don’t mind breaking.

UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 36
CHAPTER 10

§175. Position and manner of display
(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. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: (e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.
(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right.
(g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.

John; It is never too late!

Dear A. European… you tell us to not “just spit out your anger at me” yet you call this guy “uptight, semi-psychotic … insecure”. Nice. It is very telling that you do not feel that your flag represents something great and that you would not have a problem with someone flushing your “coloured bit of cloth” down the loo. Like the guy said, you want my flag (which represents my culture, land, people, history, etc), then come fight me for it! All this liberal whining about “someone else was here first”… Why don’t you abandon your home, and leave it for whatever clan/race/animal was there before you? Tell you what, send me your address, I’ll be over to collect all your property, as I bet I could find somewhere, somehow in the past that you ancestors stole it from mine. If I hung an American flag about the Mexican flag in Mexico, you’d surely call me racist.

Oh, and by the way, the crazy old man in the video was not properly handling the American flag according to the statutory guidelines. He bunches up the flag after he takes it down, which is not proper.

I award you rednecks no points, and may god have mercy on your ignorant souls.

Such hatred. If I want mistaken, it almost borderlines racism.
Shouldn’t we all be focused on getting our troops out of Iraq? In any case. This could have been handled a lot more maturely. He could have just gone inside the restaurant (or whatever kind of establishment it was) and tell the owner that it is illegal to have our flag underneath a foreign one. And having the media showing this off will only incite more tension. And don’t tell them if they like Mexico so much to move back. Thats just not an option. the reason they’re here is because WE lured them here with promises of wealth and property. The American Dream as we call it. They take the jobs we dont want. Tell me, do you want to go into the fields to pick fruits and vegetables for a living? Or do you want to go and clean/build houses, cars? For the most part, No. I sure as hell don’t. However, that doesn’t mean I think less of them. On the contrary, I have an immense amount of respect for them. This country was founded on immigration. And quite frankly, they are our backbone.
We need to stop acting like bullies and learn to communicate better (starting with our president).
Now I have a lot of respect for all veterans and troops, they are the ones that have secured our rights as Americans and have every right to defend his flag. I’m just sad/mad that our troops are being used as expendable income to get more oil.

Just my 2 cents because I also love this country.

And lets get technical, this country does not belong to us. We took it away from the Indians remember?. Didn’t we also come to this country in boats? So in effect we are all “wetbacks” (no offense intended).

Do you know why the guy didn’t answer the cameraman? No habla English…

Hey E-5, so was I, and I’d stand right there with my fellow American and help him. Your the disgrace…

Thank you, Jim for your service to our country and for standing up for the USA!!!

Mr. European:

“Yes, we too have conflicts over land.” Yeah. We dumb Americans know all to well about your “conflicts over land.” America has lost hundreds of thousands of its own young adults over your “conflicts over land.” That piece of cloth that you wouldn’t mind spraying graffiti on and placing in a blender, is part of every legal American’s heritage, whether your ancestry is from Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, or any other place in the World. Many people have died for that flag and what that flag represents not only for our freedoms but for others including Western Europe. We can have reasoned and rationale debates over whether those deaths and sacrifices were justified. But don’t believe yourself and Western Europe to be superior in your beliefs and ideals. I guarantee that more of our citizens have died for your freedoms than any Western Europeans have died for ours.

Joe America,

I am aware of the code you refer to, but read my post. Courts have consistently held that the statute is only suggestive, and there is no penalty because it would violate one’s first amendment rights. Sorry, but your post just proves the point…

I mistakenly said in my first post that the suggestive nature of the law is evidenced by the word “shall,” but I meant to say “should.” You see how this makes it clear? I’ll say it again because you people don’t listen: it is NOT a crime to fly the Mexican flag above the American flag, or burn the US flag, or urinate on it, or whatever. Such laws have been stricken down by the courts as unconstitutional.

I’m not going to bother to cite cases, but let me explain something to you uneducated folk. There is this body called the Supreme Court of the United States, and they have the power to have laws stricken as unconstitutional.

Go Army! The folks south of the border need to go home and fight the 15 families who rule them.
I will not surrender my Right as a Private American to the ruling families of Mexico. America is going to wake up and there will be a new chapter on the Declaration of Independence!
God Bless You Army – I too learned the words: “AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN” at Great Lakes, IL
1981.

It’s getting closer and closer to another civil war daily in this country… The owner of that store was a total douche bag for flying the Mexican flag above ours and should get charged since flying a flag the American flag is indeed a crime. The proper authorities should of been notified and dealt with properly. With that said… Isn’t what he did considered theft and vandalism of someone else’s property? If someone comes on to my property waving around a knife and tearing up my stuff he just might end up getting shot.

Died for freedoms…blah blah, yeah, people died so you have the FREEDOM to do what the f you want, like fly the flag upside down. It doesn’t go one way, if you want the freedom to do what you want, you have to tolerate the freedom of others to piss you off by pissing on the flag.

I live in Reno, and will defend the Constitution, and this man anyway I can. I will aggressivly pursue this Criminal who desecrates the soil he walks on. I will be his worst enemy. He will see me in the shadows, lurking…

I will never eat at McDonalds again. 17 illegals were rounded up in Reno last week, and the pro-illegal special interest groups plan a 3 day boycott of local businesses. I will never eat at McDonalds again. Luther Mac himself stated “we do not knowingly hire illegals. B.S.. I will never eat at McDonalds again.

Never.

When in Rome do as the Romans do.
When in America honor this country`s flag.
Further more, in the local news in Massachusetts a Company “National Grid” from the U.K.
has denied its line men to have the American Flag sticker displayed on it`s hard hats.
Perhaps “National Grid” and the Queen would have preferred the German flag ?
Get with it!
Regards, from a two time Viet Nam Seabee Vet.

Good god man! Civil war? McDonalds?

And again, it’s not a freakin’ crime, JWH.

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Theodore Roosevelt 1919

I’m done, you people are obviously beyond help. If you don’t understand what freedom really entails, then you simply can’t be helped.

You all suck.

I think this is disgusting and the mob-mentality-mental-midgets who commented first are disgusting too.

The reporter was combative! What an idiot!

Seig Heil!!
Seig Heil!!!
Lets all fight for the fatherland.
If this was mustafa in Iran, wed be singing a different tune.

Its really ironic that the US armed, trained and directed the actions of the largest terrorist group in the world (according to the CIA in 1998), the Kosovo Liberation army then they bombed yughoslavia mercilessly to support the terrorists (who went from being on the INTERPOL most wanted to visiting the Democractic Convention to pay respects) and now we have the same happening here.

The Kosovo situation was the same as we are witnessing here: HUGE amount of illegal aliens crossings mixed with astronomical birth rates.

The only thing missing now is for some country like the US to arm terrorist groups and simultaneously ask for independance for an ethnic group just like we did.

Really ironic.

And illegal aliens and high birth rates are UNSTOPPABLE.
Just ask any statistician to show you some previsions for % of population for latinos for the next 25, 50, 75 years in the southern states.

Just like France, Sweden and England and their growing, restless and violent problems with muslims who are climbing in the % charts (Muslims in Sweden are now in teh teens, 10-20% of the population in a very short time frame), the US will suffocate thanks to demographics.

The latinos dont have to be as violent as the muslims in the balkans or rest of europe, all they have to do is keep f***ing and making babies and soon it will be nuestra himno forever.

In the meanwhile, all kinds of racists and supremacist, kooks and nutjobs will join ranks with americans who are worried that the country they grew up in is unrecognizable.
And its going to be ok for all kinds of feelings to be exposed out in the open beecause mexicans are lower than blacks on the totem pole. You could never say that you dont recognize your neighborhood since the blacks moved in but its perfectly acceptable to do so with mexicans.
Acts like this are nothing more than frustration at the impotence felt by many people.

My greek friend who brought the comparison up recently was right:
poetic justice is a b***ch.

mike:

I do not have the FREEDOM to do what I want to do. There are these little things called “laws” that I have to follow. You do to. Certainly, some “laws” like the “code” (incidentally the United States Code, where all of the United States codified laws are found by the way)may not have criminal or civil penalties associated with them. Just like the law against desecration of the flag in Nevada, which calls such act a misdemeanor and too has no penalties. But it is the law. Just because there is no consequence to breaking the law doesn’t mean that there isn’t a law. You can look that up, and cite the cases too, if you feel so inclined.

The FREEDOM comments weren’t associated with your posts, either. If you think (like Mr. European) that the flag doesn’t mean anything at all, then those retarded, attention seeking emo-driven juveniles (you could be one of them for all I know) shouldn’t feel the need to defile the flag. And, if you do feel the need to piss on the flag, understand that the Constitution doesn’t protect you from a veteran knocking the stuffing out of you. You can explain that little difference to the ignorant folks too if you want.

Hey mike,

I’ll bet your too yellow (from pissin’ on MY flag) to put on a uniform. Otherwise you’d never say the things you have. The law is the law… just because there are loser activist judges on the loose doesn’t mean we should have our flag desecrated. Learn spanish, move south, otherwise, SHUT UP!!!

I think this veteran, after fighting and willing to die for all of us Americans, has EVERY right to take down that flag. Flying our flag in this manner is so disrespectful to our vets. The very freedom that immigrants come for has been paid for by the blood of our vets. We owe them everything! Also, if you come to this country, learn the language. Many immigrants who came here years ago had to learn the language why do you not feel you have to? This sense of entitlement, to come in and take over, break our laws, take our benefits . . . just escapes me. Who do you think is paying for all of this? We, the American taxpayers pay for these anchorbabies, extra teachers and food. So, don’t come here and treat us this way. BE RESPECTFUL!

I am sure many of you applauded and giggled with glee when the “veteran” destructed the bar owners property. I expect no less of you, after all it was “your” people who by way of Manifest Destiny stole land from Mexico in the first place. Thats right “STOLE”. If you don’t believe it, then read a few history books. It was all fine and dandy whilst white european settlers were taking everyone’s property, but suddenly Americans want to cry foul when Mexicans want something back.

California, Texas, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico are just a few of the states stolen from Mexico by the U.S. during Manifest Destiny. Some of the best land ,as far as resources go, was taken from the Mexicans.The only thing that was offered them was that if they wanted to stay they could become citizens, if not then they had to get across the “new” line. The Guadalupe Hidalgo treaty was forced under threat of attack. The Gadsden Purchase as well was coerced under threat of attack. For those of you who would like to open your minds to the truth, look at the following: http://www.houstonculture.org/hispanic/conquest.html

Its really too bad that the store owner couldn’t take advantage of the “castle law” and put a bullet in that man. If you disagree with something, then discuss it first, but if you just roll up on someones property and start hacking shit with a knife, you deserve a bullet. You pay for your past sins.

“I think this veteran, after fighting and willing to die for all of us Americans, has EVERY right to take down that flag.”

Even on someone else’s private property? Please explain why it’s ok for you to illegally go on someone else’s property and destroy things but it’s not ok for Latinos to illegally cross the border and destroy things? Isn’t that what we call, “hypocritical”?

Yeah, I get get called yellow for actually looking into what’s wrong with this country instead of sitting in front of a pc screen spouting self-serving, ridiculous and symbol-waving trash. I know what the American flag stands for, but in the end its just a flag. It is the ides behind it that give it any gravity. Clinging to symbols is ignorant and stupid, it’s like being hurt if someone calls your mother a name. Are you so shallow and egotistically fragile that your identity is precariously balanced on a piece of cloth? I’m standing up and speaking in favor of the principles that the old red-white-and-blue was based on. I’m here speaking for the things which most people choose to ignore. If any one has lost sight of what it means to be American, it’s you there pilgrim. Any true American would look past all of the symbols and get down to what’s actually wrong with this picture. Your government isn’t serving you. Your backward way of thinking will only hinder future generations and keep spoiling the image that been tarnished by generations of apathetic, impulsive and non-informed consumers calling themselves patriots. This whole “I lived here my whole life and now they’re stealing my jerb!” way of thinking has to stop. Earn your damn citizenship, you flock of drones, earn it by questioning the policies of your leaders AS IT STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION that you should. Being born here is no indicator of being American. To be American is to represent the goodness that this country was birthed by, to stand up for justice and what’s right not just for you and yours, but for every citizen, which I’m sad to say, there are less and less of. I am not ashamed of being America. I am ashamed to be associated with you as I am a TRUE American and you are not. Get the hell out of my country Rich, get the hell out of my century and take your intolerance and stupidity with you cause I don’t want you stinking up the place for my smart and enlightened kids. I hear Germany’s nice this time of year.

See what a honest veteran can do with a K-Bar

“This whole “I lived here my whole life and now they’re stealing my jerb!” way of thinking has to stop. Earn your damn citizenship, you flock of drones, earn it by questioning the policies of your leaders AS IT STATES IN THE CONSTITUTION that you should.”

Where does it say that I have an obligation of questioning my leaders in the Constitution? Can you site the section? Really curious.

“Being born here is no indicator of being American.”

Have you read the Constitution? This is PRECISELY what the Constitution says on who or whom is not a citizen (being born here). For your edification:

Amendment 14 – Citizenship Rights.

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Les, I mean I want to be with you here. You say something interesting and then you elaborate by stating something patently wrong. Check your facts, dude.

It takes courage to be a vigilante? One thing this vet needs to learn is that he is not the law enforcement in this country. We have trained law enforcement officers in this country who are charged with enforcing the laws. We do not take the law into our own hands. This vet should be charged with at the very least, theft.

This land all belongs to the Mexican Race!

It is no crime to steal from white people because they stole the land to begin with!

That’s what they claim on their TV and radio channels. In Spanish, of course.

The only problem is the Spanish and Mexicans stole it from the Native Americans who not only lived here first but still live here. If the land should be returned to anyone, it should be returned to the Native Americans, not the Mexicans.

When a Nation is under distress, one would fly the flag upside down. What this Vet did was take action to show everyone, the fight starts on the block around your street.

This Nation is being invaded. Try it out yourselves. The invasion becomes apparent when you say “NO MORE!” The American Fighting Man does not run when he sees the odds stacked up against him. Up here in Ohio we put a small city on the map. The illegals on Lake Erie brought the anger and frustration to head June 28, 2007,
Senate Amnesty Bill 1348/1639.

We shut down the Verizon phone system in the US Sentate. What this Vet showed is the anger boiling within. Our elected officials are hoping the public becomes weak and lazy infront of the BOOB TUBE. NO MORE!

If this Vet is charged – the Americans who do more than shout at TV screens will saturate the phone lines in RENO, NV! We do not advocate violence – but the people south of the Rio Grande think we are fat beaten rats. This Nation is in DISTRESS! The LAND OF THE FREE is a LAND OF LAWS. The American People have a jury pool outside the corporate boob tube. The symbol is not just cloth it is FREEDOM! Those corporate folks at Fox, ABC, CBS want spoon fed Citizens of the UNITED STATES – not PRIVATE AMERICANS!

The symbol of conquest can not go unanswered! I am ready to challenge the power of the scripted media. Americans everywhere are ready to say “NO More!” We vote and we take corrective measures to demand an end to this distress and invasion!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I agreed with the fact that the owner was wrong for putting the Mexican flag on top of the USA’s , but what I don’t agree with is how he approach the situation. There was no need to be racist (cause that’s how this “vet.” looked in the footage”) and if this person makes you proud I feel sad for you…

Its funny how he feels like a big man……wow walking with a 5 inch blade makes him big a man……I was born in the US but i fly my Mexican flag above the stars and stripes, if he tried that i am sure my father would take out a machete and see whos a bigger man……plus this is america you have the right to do what you want…….the owner should press charges i know i would

rightwingbutjob,

Are you saying that the Supreme Court is composed of activist judges? It’s clear that you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

He wasn’t racist. If he was, he wudda stomped on it, and pissed on it. But he simply took it down.

And Rey, I gotta funny hunch he would rip your daddy and your whole family a new one, if he were so inclined. He was in the army, a possible vet, and he looks pretty angry yet self-controlled at the same time.

And he was alone.

The issue was not whether it was “just a flag” or whether he destroyed property. It is illegal to place ANY flag higher than the Stars and Stripes. Period. If the Veteran didn’t take down the flag, I guarantee someone else would have. Mexico is NOT the ruler of this country, so we have no reason to “respect” their Flag if it is flown above ours. Immigrants must adhere to and follow the same set of rules that every American abides by on a daily basis, and ignorance of the law is absolutely no excuse. The wars of the 20th century were not fought with Political Correctness, and I am sure that the Veteran was tired of putting up with outright attacks on the very Constitution ( which he was sworn to defend and uphold) in the name of tolerance and understanding. How about the immigrants start showing more tolerance and understanding to the ways of the country they have decided to immigrate to, instead of the other way around.

Everyone is missing the point. Still you say racism.
I’ve yet to read a racist statement. All flags should be respected in their nation. That man probably had friends die in a war for nothing and that memory should be respected. It’s easy for a bunch of liberal bloggers and spoiled Americans to nay say his intentions but what sacrifice have you made. You write on a computer like it matters. It doesn’t. Maybe he was right or wrong but in Mexico you’d be in jail for it.

He wasn’t racist. If he was, he wudda just stomped on it. But he simply took it down.

This guy is my freaking HERO. That was awesome!!!!!! How DARE they think they can fly a MEXICAN flag in front of an AMERICAN flag!?!?!?! If they love mexico sooooo much then why don’t they go back there!?!?!?!

This act is commendable. The immigration service should investigate the business for harboring illegal immigrants (invaders) and see if their wives and childred are drawing welfare benefits. In addition they should be checked for sale of illegal drugs from Mexico. The display of both flags is: 1. Signal that they are loyal to Mexico first. and 2. They know the American “system” and can teach other invaders how to exploit it. We have shallow and or corrupt leadership in the White House and the Congress; they don’t fund or enforce the immigration laws. More and more violent vigiante acts are on the way because our political leaders are shallow whores who will do the bidding of groups with most money. Citizens need to take back their country from leech invaders.

God bless you Jim, you did the right thing! We need more people like you in this country, not more rude foreigners thinking that we some how owe them something. God Bless America!

Didn’t know people still used the phrase “yellow.” Anyway, my sacrifice is having to listen to inbred rednecks that surprisingly know how to type.

If you people can’t understand the difference between a physical token and the what it represents, then you are an idiot.

Again, it is not a crime to disrespect the f-ing flag. There are conservative justices on the Supreme Court that agree. Listen to your superiors that share your views. Even they agree!

And you people need to quit bragging about having the guts to be in the military. It’s not about guts, its almost always because you have no other good career choices. Our military isn’t composed of the super-intelligent members of society. It’s not fear of death that keeps people out of the military, at least not for me, it’s simply a choice to do something that might earn some money down the road.

To bad the store owner could not speak English!
Maybe he would of had a reply.

Where were the police? How come the store owner was not arrested? If they want to live under the mexican flag, they should return to mexico!
