It began when a store in Reno hung a Mexican flag above an American flag.
That's illegal.
While a photographer from NBC affiliate KRNV was outside the business an angry man claiming to be a veteran walked up to the flagpole and cut down both flags with a large knife.

I’d like to buy that vet a beer or two..
Congrats on taking a little bit of our country back..
Hate crime?
bump for later
Good for him... Should have strung the person responsible up on the same pole.
I’m willing to help make this a trend, though I don’t to carry a “big knife” or be seen on TV. A small SAK with a 2-inch blade ought to work.
Also it would be nice to have some non-illegal means of blackening the Honduran, Salvadorean, and Mexican car window stickers that are everywhere on the streets.
Well, I thought it was odd that when I did a search it didn’t show up. :(
Well, the big knife was part of his point, as it was his service K-Bar, so you gotta grant him a style point there. Plus by having it on video, it does cut down on the number of claims of 'ethnic intimidation' charges.
Laundry marker?

Spray paint. Oh, you said non-illegal. Sorry.
thanks for putting the story up Netizen. great news!
Someone get that man a knife sharpener.
How bizarre. As I was reading the story I was envisioning a Ka-Bar. A great knife (1450 carbon steel blade, a steel which easily takes a razor sharp edge).
How about this Ka-Bar? No joke, I have one in my wallet right this second:
Ka-Bar TDI LDK Ankle/Neck Knife, $14.99

Give em’ hell!!!
Thank you sir whoever and wherever you are! I salute you.
Should have strung up the illegal that did that.
Good job guy!
Add my thanks.
Isn’t flying a mexican flag above our own an act of war, can’t we just shoot the perp?
It needs to be posted frequently anyway. It’s *good* news!
Taking back our country one incident at a time.
I have my Marine KBAR for just such occasions. My active duty Recon son does also.
I see. So because this private citizen was offended it is now acceptable to
A) take the law into your own hands and
B) destroy the private property of others which doesn't belong to you. I assume the 'brave' gentleman in question paid for the property (i.e. flags) before destroying the one he didn't like
That about the crux of your argument? Oh and he should be able to hang the other person committing yet another, and much worse, crime. Gotcha
Boy I'm going to have fun at work tomorrow. I don't like this lady's plant that sits on her desk. It doesn't actually hurt me, I just don't like it. I'll toss that in the trash first. Then I may go on a keying spree in the parking lot on cars of people I don't like. Hey they offend me by their existence at work and since private property means so little to 'conservatives' it's alright for me to do it!!
Kiss my backside...
Wow what a retort. So the question is to you. Do you or do you not respect private property? Or can we tell your neighbor they can set up a business for their profit on your front lawn tomorrow? The flags, however improperly displayed, belonged to the individual who owned the store.
The 'brave' man in question committed theft and destruction of private property because he was offended. By your stance, if someone doesn't like you they have the right to come by your house and throw rocks through the windows and you can't do a thing about it.
The issue of the flags is completely irrelevant to the point
