A Veteran from Reno, Nev. has hit headlines after he took matters into his own hands yesterday and tore down a Mexican flag that was being illegally flown above a U.S. flag at a local business. Local news station KRNV News 4 had received calls yesterday afternoon from angry residents complaining about the Mexican flag. When the station sent a reporter to investigate the Veteran took the opportunity to make a statement in front of the cameras. The man commented "I'm Jim Brossert and I took this flag down in honor of my country with a knife from the United States army. I'm a veteran, I am not going to see this done to my country. if they want to fight us, then they need to be men, and they need to come and fight us, but I want somebody to fight me for this flag. They're not going to get it back." Watch it: The hispanic store owner who witnessed the incident would not make comment on camera but told KRNV over the phone that he was flying the flag as a mark of solidarity to the hispanic community. Pro-immigration protests have been ongoing in the area all weekend after raids were conducted by authorities in the area last week. The store owner said he is an American citizen and did not know what he was doing was against the law. However, according to federal law it is illegal to fly any flag above the U.S. flag, and if flying more than one they must be on separate poles and be of an equal size. The Reno police department has told KRNV that Brossert will faces charges for theft if the store owner files a police report of what happened. Similar incidents have previously been reported in Maywood, CA ., Tucson, Arizona , and Jupiter, Florida.

The flag is supposed to be a symbol, not of nationalism, but of what we stand for. Our values are more important than our symbols. If someone wants to fly their Mexican flag above their US flag on their property, that's fine by me. The federal statute about the proper way to fly the flag is advisory. I don't think there are any criminal penalties set out for it. The guy who flew the flag is supposedly a US citizen, and that means he has the right to speak as freely as he wishes. If he wants to put a display in his window of him taking a crap on the American flag, he can. It's cloth, and the only thing going on is nationalist pride angry at an expression of loyalty to Mexico over the US. I don't care for people who are more loyal to their country of origin than the US, but that is the nature of all these people who come here to make a better life. They all think the shithole they came from is culturally superior.
Hell, that's true even of my German forebearers. Always nattering on about how goot it was back in Germany, and how clean and respectful people were... I have a long of history of telling any such person they should pack up and go back to their beloved country, but they won't do that, because they really want the life in the US of A. Anyone who says to me that they think Greece, China, Canada, or whatever is better than the US, I tell them "then go back, because we need less of you."

... that is the nature of all these people who come here to make a better life. They all think the shithole they came from is culturally superior. Of course, even after they make money, not many of them want to go back ...
