A US VET CUTS DOWN THE MEXICAN FLAG

Reno Nevada.....October 2, 2007

After hearing rumors that a downtown business (a bar) was flying a Mexican flag above an American flag, a U.S. army veteren went to the bar, and in full view of TV cameras, and the bar's owner, cut down the flags and threw the Mexican flag onto the ground.

The U.S. Vet then turned to the reporters and stated the following, and I quote...

" My name is Jim Broussard and I took this flag down in honor of my country with a knife from the United States army, I'm a veteren and I'm 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 someone to come and fight me for this flag, they're not going to get it back".

He then turned and walked away with the American flag draped over his shoulder, right past the bar owner who did not say a word to him but went over picked up the Mexican flag and took it inside the bar, refusing to speak on camera to reporters.

The bar owner later gave an off camera statement to reporters saying that he did not know it was illegal, and that he had recently bought new flags to replace his old ones and had hung the Mexican flag on top of the US flag to support the Mexican community, he also stated that he is an American citizen and is happy the incident did not lead to any violence.

It should be noted that the "hispanic community" has just begun a 3 day boycott by members of the Hispanic community in response to recent immigration raids.

The raids targeted 11 McDonalds restaurants in the Reno area and ended in the arrest of 56 illegal immigrants.Certain members of the hispanic community say a boycott is the only way to respond to the "inhumane way" that is being used to deal with the illegal immigration problem. ( boy they don't know "inhumane" do they)

So was this the reason the bar owner hung a Mexican flag above an American flag?

Was he supporting the boycott?

Of course the ACLU put their 2-cents in........

The ACLU of Nevada has released a statement about recent media reports that it is "illegal" to fly foreign flags over the U.S. flag.

The ACLU explains that while there is indeed a federal law regulating the display of the U.S. flag, that law is merely advisory and simply codifies standard government practice in displaying the American flag.

In other words... you don't really have to follow this particular law it is simply suggestions on what one should do!!

Well I looked it up and this is what I found........

4 USC - Sec. 7 - Office of the Law Revision Counsel, U.S. House of Representatives

TITLE 4 - FLAG AND SEAL, SEAT OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE STATES

CHAPTER 1 - THE FLAG
Sec. 7. Position and manner of display

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America,

e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.

(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard (pole) with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak.

When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last.

No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag's right side.

So I guess the use of the word "should" is confusing to the ACLU and to the Mexicans!!!

Oh btw, the Reno police say the US vet who "stoled" the American flag could face charges if the business owner files a police report about what happened.

AIN'T THAT A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!
