• That is why legals Know our laws and how to show respect to OUR flag! He did not fold it because it had been tainted and disrespected! It has to be burned or buried! That is why he cut it and waded it up like that!

• he feels they were racist because he said "if they wanna fight us, they need to be men and come and fight us."
  .
  thats the attitude that MANY white supremacists have
  they feel theres beef were there is none because of things like this
  .
  and 'banned', even legals could have made this mistake
  .
  I could have made that same mistake and i was born here
  .
  if they wanted a fight they would have been ready for one, and judging by the look on the guys face he and his actions he had no intention of fighting in anyway.

• They were disrespecting the American flag. No flag shall fly higher than the American Flag.
  http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html
  Flown on the Same Halyard with Non-Nation Flags
  The American Flag 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 right of the flag of the United States.
  Or better yet: With Other National Flags
  When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.

• I didn't know that and I was born here. You think Mexicans knew that? And is that how you educate someone?

• Yeah, and judging by how you act, I bet you made sure she really got that lesson. Speaking of school, the word is spelled "Paid". I'm sure you would have had no problem if that was a confederate flag above the American one. Grumpy ass bigot.

• Yes I suck at spelling! Yes I would have a MAJOR problem with a confederate flag flying above the American flag! I do not have a problem with the confederate flag that flag does not represent racism anyway! Do you even know what the civil war was about? Why are you calling me names? What have I done to you? Why are you so angry?

• yes we all know what the civil war what was about and we all know that the confederates were against America and completely for taking advantage of people they felt were lesser then them in any and every way possible.
  .
  and good thing for your daughter knowing that but there are other schools who dont focus as much on laws as a childs academics.
  i wasnt learning any laws in school till junior high history class and elective classes that focused on law.

• and you put this question under illegal immigrants, so if ther are i doubt they would have learned that anywhere.

  and the whole time that guy is raving at the man with the camera, not trying to explain to the men behind him why he was upset, that it was offensiive to the people around, and i was illegal.

• then why be aggressive if they don't even understand?
  if they dont speak english then what would make anyone think that any of that was intentional?
  why be offended?
  im offended by those who DID understand and made no attempt to resolve the situation only escalate it, the guy was even assuming they were interested in a fight.
  .
  and the guy with the camera actually asked "what are you trying to accomplish?" is he kidding? like there was some sort of malicious motive?
  .the poor guy looked almost hurt when he went to pick of the Mexican flag
  .
  
  and crushing the American flag into a ball with no attempt to fold it let alone fold it correctly is just as disrespectful.

• Kierafaye, dont worry, racism is ignorace and some people dont want to know any better so there is no point in even trying to educate him.
