    Veteran detained after taking American flag from protesters

    I'd like to shake this Vet's hand.

    When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." ----- Jack Burton 1986

    Manhart did admit to the paper she was resisting arrest.

    never actively resist arrest on something like this, you have to passively resist.

    Yep, then counter protest. Of course the communication wing (MSM) of the hive mind would likely ignore you, but still.

    So I pulled the Flag off him and started to fold it into the proper triangle shape. Another guy ran up, grabbed the other end and told me "he's a Boy Scout" and wants to help with the Flag.

    So we pulled it tight, folded it really nicely and handed the guy back the Flag folded into a proper triangle and told him to show some respect for the Flag of his Country.

    Dumbass took the flag, shook it out and put it back on as a cape.

    The other guy and I looked at each other and I said "to hell with him - he's hopeless - forget about it" and we walked away.

    Still pisses me off 'till this day.

    Wasn't him... if that's what you mean. It was a student.

    That's what they were going to do, but the university closed down to prevent any problems.

    From the gist of the story, it was mainly 3 black students who were protesting racism in America and this lady vet came up and took the flag off the ground and protected it.

    When news about this got out, over 4,000 people, who supported her actions, were heading out to counter protest this event.

    I read about 5-6 of the first comments and they say it all perfectly. They are worth a look.

    WTF....I was taught at a very young age that I can protest whatever I want.....but if I were to disrespect the flag or the Constitution...many would be allowed to "disrespect" me in physical fashion...my god is this country heading towards a 3rd revolution....at warp speed no less.

    I don't care that she is a vet, or that she is hot. If some ugly non vet did what she did, I would still be on there side.


    Shit like this pisses me right the fuck off...
    Here's to pussy and gunpowder. One to live for, the other to die by.....Goddamn though, I do love the smell of 'em both !!!

    The video on Fox showed a close-up mug shot of one of the flag stompers. He looks a like a religion of pieces member with his rug-brushing beard. One thing I never understood about creeps who say they hate America and her flag so much is why they don't just pack up their crap and leave...

    She didn't look that hot in the TV video. I'd give her permission to put a flag on my pole anytime.
