Shouldn't have flown the Mexican flag above the US flag. Too bad, so sad.

This is what happens when you take the law into your own hands.
He should have just reported it, it was a stupid thing to do.

we have a court system to deal with criminals. vigilante justice is not encouraged. that is why he is now considered a thief.

Considered a thief by SOME. Not by me. Do you HONESTLY think the authorities would have done anything about it? Please. The way I see it, their illegal actions at LEAST cancel each other out.

Flag Code - Position and manner of display

So you are admitting that the Flag Code is not upheld as Law?
I honestly think the authorities would have said something.

I would guess this man will be discharged.

You are the one who usually supports lawbreakers, are you racist against white people?
