Immigrants who don't respect our flag and feel no allegiance to our country shouldn't even be here.

Our flag deserves to be flown first in our country.

I am glad this veteran showed them whats up. I do not agree with him stealing the flag though...


What do you guys think?

This is way old. Happened in Reno. The store owner had the Mexican Flag over the American, making a statement. Backfired on him. It made the local headline news. Standing ovation.

Mexicans got the assimilate clothing and religion and some of the holidays assimilated but usually nothing else..
I'll speak Spanish anytime I damn well please. I celebrate American holidays, American pop is extremely trash, I'll call myself just American when white people like you stop "hyphenating" me, I don't fly foreign flag, I already do, I already do again, don't even know what ethnically clannish means, it's anyone's choice what their religion is in this country, what's wrong with wearing a rag on your head? What you mean a towel? So you want to live in a one party state?

You don't know a lot of Mexicans it seems like. Don't pretend you know about people you have no clue about

Might wanna start kicking the Brits out then that only fly their Union Jack and not the US flag every Brit I've seen doesn't fly the US flag or have a bumper sticker on their car, only theirs. Same goes for the Canadians

Very old news, but I sympathize with the veteran.

You can fly whatever flag you want. No one ever claimed you couldn't fly a Mexican flag or a Union Jack.

What you CAN'T do is fly the US flag UNDER it.

IF you choose to display the American flag you fly it on top of whatever other flags you are flying.

What you do is inform the man of correct flag display etiquette in this country. Then you see if the man fixes the problem. If he doesn't fix it, then you do whatever you can bear about the situation.

But hey...the Mexican guy sat there like a bump on a log and did nothing about it. So he's on the losing end of the thug life move. Shrug.

I'm not a hypocrite. My remarks were meant for all.

He should have informed the store owner and if that didn't work, call the authorities. It's not his property. proerty rights are a cornerstone of our foundation. He should be cited for theft.

You have no problem when a person steals?

It's the cops job to raise money for the state. You'd think they'd be all over writing the store owner a ticket.
