Disgraced American Flag

imported post

I recently was sent an email explaining an event which occurred at a public high school in California called Montebello High School. I found no media reports of this incident, but found plenty of other online resources attesting the incident, which was staged in March 2006 as a protest to immigration reform.

The following URL appears to have a great deal of information regarding the incident, but I am unfamiliar with snopes.com. I can offer no credibility to this site.

I have a difficult time understanding why cops would just stand around and not remove the mexican flag, throw it on the ground,and piss on it.

Dismayingly similar to events in a novel I just finished reading, Domestic Enemies.

The future we may be looking at if we don't gain control of our borders.

It's the second book in a series. The first one dealt with ATF tearing down the second ammendment. Both are recommended reading for all.

I think my blood just went from boiling to a state of plasma.

The only place for the Mexican flag north of the Rio Grande is on their embassy and consulates.

However, I will offer a sage solution that does notdiminish the First Amendment:

The Stars and Stripes represents something. The flag can mean lots of things to different people--patriotism, Uncle Sam, tradition,veterans, sacrifice, freedom. However there is one meaning that cannot be removed or changed.When viewed withoutany emotional attachments, theflag represents each andevery American.Literally. Get a big enough flag, and you can have onepolyester or cotton fiber for eachAmerican.

When someone burns a flag, or commits a seriousdesecration against it; he is voicing his disagreement with every, single, individual other American. Bar none, because that is what the flag represents at its core.

When one has that much disagreement with every othermember of a group, one ordinarily resigns from thegroup.

The solution is not to criminalize desecration;but to accept or enforce the desecrator's resignation. Cancel his citizenship. Noprison, no fines--its not a penalty. It ismerely recognition that he disagrees with every otherAmerican citizen; and therefore should neither be a citizen, nor live in this country with the rest of us.

In the case above, simply send them home. No prison, no fines, and no chance to return.

I know, that makes my blood boil. Who do these people think they are? They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I mean the first amendment protects that kind of behaviour, but only if you are a citizen. We don't go to mexico and fly our flag and march in their streets. We don't owe illegal aliens a damn thing except deportation. I don't understand their attitude of entitlement, we are a sovereign nation within our borders we make the rules just like any other nation.

Snopes.com is THE go-to site for internet myths and urban legends. They are known for researching thoroughly, and I've yet to hear of them being wrong. I'm sure they either have been or will be at some point, but they're generally very reliable.

I ALWAYS check suspicious items through snopes.

ilbob,

Partly because most of the cops are most likely Hispanics, too, andpartly because the Police Chief is a wimp and told them not to do anything...as if they really would anyway.

La Raza, man.

Embrace and celebrate "diversity."

Now excuse me while I go throw up...

To call this a protest is a misuse of language. It wasa deliberate attempt at provocation.

If desecration of the flag is free speech, does not the desecrator committing the act become part of the free speech itself? Becoming a symbol of anti American sentiment himself.

If so, why is it not legal for a person exercising their freedom of speech, to strike out at an anti American symbol and tear it down?

Looks to me like a more proactive approach might be in order.

People here in the east are really unaware of the battle currently going on along the length of the US Mexican border. Going to places like El Paso Texas and some souther Arizona towns is a real eye opener.

Yes, the people of the East need to see this from downtown LA, the capitol of the Nation of Aztlan:

Well that may be a bit harsh. Let's just say they should be sent back to the manufacturer as defective.

I'd rather deport them, their teachers, and their instigators.

This is nothing new and it seams that only one President actually did any thing about it, Dwight D. Eisenhower. I only know of it as Operation Wetback and I don't know if that was just the slang name for it.
It was an attempt to remove 1.2M illegal immigrants from the US in 1954. I would post links and what not’s but because of the current storm we are getting here my dial-up is extremely slow.
A simple search will provide many links discussing this event

Nope, that was the actual name for it.
