A judge sentenced a man to 18 months probation this morning, and ordered him to pay $500 in fines for cutting down American flags from outside several businesses in Huntsville earlier this week.
Mihn Van Pham, 44, pleaded guilty to charges of criminal mischief in the third degree and resisting arrest in Huntsville municipal court this morning.
"I'm guilty, God bless America," Pham said.

$500? How much did it cost the victims to replace all the flags and the lines that he cut? I presume they don’t see any of the “fine” money, such as it is?

We probably saved his @$$ from Communist Vietnam and this is how he repays us.

Time to revoke his visa and send him home to Vietnam.
Enjoy your new life, pal.

From his photo it looks like he is of mixed race. He’s just old enough to have been fathered by a GI in the closing days of the Vietnam War—he is 44, last Gis left in 73. He needed an interpreter, which probably means he is a fairly recent immigrant. And , from the story, he is not all there—sounds a little wacky. Probably had a rough time growing up in Vietnam: I have read that mixed-race kids are not treated well there. Sad.

Probation????? He cut down the flags of our country and he only got probation??
And how much will $500 fine help replace all the flags he cut down?
This is justice?

Excellent analysis.
In his mind, maybe he thought he was defending these flags. Or maybe he just thought they were free and he liked them.

He doesn't look Vietnamese.
According to the article:
Pham was ordered to pay $100 in restitution to the Holiday Inn Express at 3808 University Drive for cutting down the business' U.S. flag.
Pham was arrested while cutting down the flag with scissors at 11 a.m. on Monday. Police said he also cut down flags from Burger King on Memorial Parkway at University Drive, The Academy for Academics and Arts on Poplar Avenue, and that charges of criminal mischief for those incidents are likely to follow.

He doesn't look Vietnamese. Agreed. Looks like G.I. Dad had some really strong Italian genes.
