Would have liked to have been right there beside him!
Since it's illegal to do that I wonder if legal actions were taken...?
Please Thank your wife for me.

Exactly!
If they want to be in their country so much, then they should stay, and since it is crap, they should work to better it, instead of trying to claim the US as the new Estados Unidos de Mexico.
We never should have given back the territory we conquered from Mexico back, nor paid them as compensation, and now they really are trying to take our land "back" for them. Guess they forgot that their whole country is essentially living on borrowed land...borrowed from US.
They should be prosecuted for their grievous offense. Deport them, so they can have the river-swimming experience twice. Part of me wishes they had tried to stop the Veteran (emphasis on the "try")

It's sad that over the past 60 years we have been catering to the whims of the illegals by turning OUR country upside down and putting everything bilingual. Did we do that for the Irish, Italian, Polish, Jewish, French, Chinese, immigrants at the turn of the century?
They had to learn the language, They had to take citizenship classes and pass tests and pledge allegience to this country. Now they come over here illegally or not, and don't give two s#*ts about America or what America stands for. They still have allegience to Mexico.
If we declared was with Mexico, we would have soo many "insurgents" we probably would big trouble. Same thing with the Muslims, I'm sure there are alot of "Sleepers" sucking up our resources that have their allegences other than America.
We had better pay attention, Ft Hood could happen in your back yard.
As for the video, Congrats to the guy that stood up and took action.
He will be facing legal action, I'm sure because of the ACLU and others that have been helping destroy this country for the past 60 years.

Boy how a little ignorance can stir up a crap storm against and entire race. I too would have done the same, however would have taken the time to educate the idiot on flag etiquette. He is just one and not a representation of the entire race. I grew up in the Army and Navy environemtn and later served in the Marines myself. I have met many a proud patriotic soldier from many far of lands and was proud to be beside them.
I see this and have to ask why the media made the story so short. They help feed this type of ignorance by not using this opportunity as a perfect segway into flag etiquette. I am willing to bet their "American" patriotic staff has no idea what it is nor would consider the time to look it up worthy of a story. My opinion is the true story is beyond the event captured.
I can go to a NASCAR race, about the most "American Pride" event we have left and almost always get in a confrontation with many nationalities, Caucasian included, due to the idiots that leave there freakin caps on when the National Anthem is played. Growing up in a military family in the day where every movie we saw on base was started with the National Anthem and a lesson in love and respect for this country this really ticks me off.
God Bless America and Semper Fi

Joe, you seem to want to believe that the mexicans did not know that the American Flag must be on top on the flag pole, and that gets people into trouble.
You actually think those mexicans didn't know about flag procedure? How do you know that in Mexico they weren't taught to respect their own flag? Clearly they have some semblance of the notion of honoring flags, or else they wouldn't be flying their colors. They know that the flag on top is the one which receives their priority--the fact that they are educated enough to fly their flag corroborates this, and rationality makes it easy to figure out that even for someone truly ignorant of flag rules, that the flag at the top is the most important one. It i unlikely that they "accidentally" flew the Mexican flag at the top of the staff because they were "ignorant" of the significance that holds.
Sadly, there ARE groups of immigrants whose goal is to populate the border states until they have a majority over other Americans, and add them back to Mexico, the "same way" that the US claimed them from Mexico in the first place. As these groups do exist, to simply believe that these poor fools were merely ignorant of flag etiquette, and not even consider that they could be affiliated with these groups,is an act of denial, a dangerous one.

Not to get into a pissing contest here, but how does one restaurant/bar, whatever the heck it was represent an entire race? This is in reference to "mexicans". Yeah there are those out there and I recognize them as such so I am not in denial(a dangerous one at that), but I try to be mature and treat each as an individual and not base judgmental on a classification and travel the dangerous path Hitler did.
Are you sure "They know that the flag on top is the one which receives their priority--the fact that they are educated enough to fly their flag corroborates this, and rationality makes it easy to figure out that even for someone truly ignorant of flag rules, that the flag at the top is the most important one."? This in itself is an ignorant and dangerous assumption. As mentioned before, I would bet half of our citizens do not even know this. How often is it you drive by a business at night and see our flag flying but not illuminated? We should know this by the logic implied here.
Like I said my focus would be to use this instance to educate but with all the talk in the world it is easier to classify and hate versus lead and teach. Being in SoCal, trust me I have educated many a nationality on flag etiquette.
Anyways I am done here as I see this thread getting off topic and into a hate all races but mine debate.

The country was calling GWB hitler. Now are we calling BHO hitler???
That statment is over the top. Read the depth of way the nazi's came to power. We are a long way from anything of the sort.
That same atitude put hitler in power. Then he twisted it. After he gained the trust of the people and manipulated the parliment and the nazi party gained power.
When in another nation. Natural etique should dictate. You dont put your flag on the same pole. Check any nation convention. It is not done. All have individual flag poles. I dont agree they didnt know any better.
What was that school in cali? The students took down the US flag and raised the mexican flag. Protested and walked out of school. It was rebllion, without acause. It was All over the world news. Ignorance is bliss if you want to lie and play stupid.
Get real and stop making excuses for others, what you dont know...

A neighbor down the street flies his Nascar flag (#24) above the US flag.
Which is doubly strange, because our convenants don't allow flag poles.

I have my fathers knife from D Day +3 that he used to cut his buddies leg off. I would have gladly lent it to the gentleman. Give us three more years and we will not even be able to fly the Flag for fear of offending.

Is it just me, or does that vet remind anyone else of "Old Man Waterfall" from Futurama?
He defends Zoidberg for expressing his freedom by eating the Flag, "Old Freebie."
