I'd be so pissed off. What pussies, if you are protesting something you are supposed to do it in front of crowd/TV, not in the shadows of the night. Also if you are going to burn the American flag, burn your own fucking property. Marine's American flag set on fire in act of vandalism Published April 02, 2017 FoxNews Link A Marine vet in Phoenix is outraged that someone would torch his American flag. “There’s two big pieces that you feel when you see something like that,” Ellison told the station. “You’re sad, and you’re mad. There's not a lot that you can do about either one of them. So I came home and put another flag up.” Ellison reported the vandalism to Phoenix police, who were investigating, the station reported. Lisa Ellison told KTVK-TV that the look on her husband after he found the flag in the driveway was “like somebody shot him.” “He just was devastated that somebody would do this,” she said. Ellison and his wife live in a quiet neighborhood, according to KPNX. “The flag means everything to me,” Ellison told the station. “When you say your oath and you join the military you stand in front of that flag when you raise your right hand. When we lose a service member or a veteran dies we put it on the casket.” Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | ||

I know how hard it would be to catch such assholes, but the farmers up in N. Idaho many years ago figured out how to deal with those who would go in at night to steal produce, like watermelons. 12 ga, loaded with rock salt. Don't know how I would react to catching someone destroying the US flag. But it would most likely not be a peaceful ending.

One solution might be to put the flag about 20 feet above ground, nailed to the pole! Only way to get it down would be with a ladder. Kind of like nailing the flag to the top mast back in the days of sailing vessels. When it signaled "no surrender".

Cowards. Where's Rick Monday now? By the way Skins, thank you for being willing to lend a hand with my electrical puzzle. My friend did manage to get some time to decipher my junction box. Turns out the contractor didn't have 12-3 cable so he used 2 runs of 12-2 and left the neutral idle on the traveler. I had not seen that before.  You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Cowards is exactly what they are. The sad part is if you caught them and actually did something you would probably get in trouble. As for Rick Monday, not sure what he is doing nowadays but a colorized framed picture resides in my entertainment center in the living room. People who visit do comment and ask the story behind it.  | |||

This rock-salt-in-a-shotgun used to be mentioned years ago, but I’ve noted it a couple/three times again recently. It’s important, though, that anyone who may be considering such an act understand an important fact: Shoot at someone with a firearm that fires any sort of projectile, and that’s deadly force in most jurisdictions. If the shooting is not justified, the only advantage to using rock salt rather than a lead slug is that the charges against you may only be aggravated assault or attempted murder rather than murder. Plus, according the Box O’ Truth, at any sort of distance we might as well just use blanks for the effect rock salt would have, and at close ranges it could cause very serious wounds. At least using blanks might result in no more serious charge than unlawful discharge of a firearm—unless of course the blank was fired at very close range. ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

Thank you. I had never heard the Rick Monday story before. It is a great story! Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||
