Unlike others I did not serve to defend a flag or any other piece of cloth. I served to protect our home, lives and countryman who are bound together by a system of laws.
I am an American who believes in the written law and in property rights. I think that guy is a criminal and should be in Jail. Our feelings do not give us the rights beyond the law.
I pose a question. If this incident happened in Texas Would the property owner have the right to use deadly force? Would the time of day make a difference?
I dont even think the "mexican" business owner thought he was doing anything wrong when he decided to fly the Mexican flag over the US flag. For all we know he was ignorant and just wanted to show his pride as well as pride in the American flag.
We often talk about "emotion" when speaking about the ignorant "anti's" yet some of us are quick to dismiss this guys emotional outburst and "THEFT" of anothers property.
