PHOENIX, AZ (KOLD) - New video has surfaced from last week's SB-1070 protest that brought people to Phoenix from across the country, including immigrant-rights activists bused in from California.
The video shows those activists desecrating the American flag. They used spray paint to write, "deport Arpaio" and "impeach Brewer."
There's also a toilet seat on the stars. They displayed the desecrated U.S. Flag and Arizona flag while a man sang the national anthem.
Disgusting!
This photo was taken at a rally at the state capitol yesterday. The news will not show it and the Capitol Police and Homeland Security would not let Americans or any of the Veterans that were there do anything about it.
My husband and his friends were threatened to be arrested and were told they would be booked under federal charges if they did anything. I am sending this to you so that you in turn can start emailing it to every one on your list. It is totally uncalled for and people need to see it.
This is not about politics and rhetoric, it is about a direct threat to our country. Those of you that don't live in Arizona will maybe get a chance to see the other side of what the news is telling you. If this offends you great, than I have truly accomplished what I set out to do.
I understand that sometimes we don't see eye to eye on certain things, but that is the right our forefathers fought for. I am an American before I am anything else. For those of you who choose to dismiss this. If you believe that this is okay I believe you are a traitor to this country and everything it stands for.
I am not a racist and I am not a Nazi; this has nothing to do with race, it has to do with respect to the country that is continually taking you in and turning a blind eye to your agenda.
Homeland Security was designed to identify and defend America from Terrorist acts yet yesterday it let illegal and legal citizens of this country desecrate the Flag. People were spitting on it, stomping on it and burning it with cigarettes. One soldier who had just returned from Iraq tried to grab the flag and was thrown to the ground by the Capitol Police and Homeland Security.
It amazes me how many people will stand against the American People while all the while prospering from our system and our government.
To those of you that will forward this to your friends I applaud you for the courage to stand up for the country in which you live.
To those of you who delete this, there is always someplace else for you to go.
================================================================
This is not a faked or photoshopped photo... it's real and the event is real.
Covered by KOLD TV-13 news
But only covered as a local news event. National news refused to air or comment on this event.
Regardless of you political beliefs, we are all Americans first and should respect our country's flag, what it stands for, and the lives of our servicemen to defend our nation. This is just not right!!!
Would you actively protect the people doing it?
Somebody on Facebook said that AP refused to put its picture of this “event” on the wire, and that the local paper declined to run it, too.
OK, is that a cop in the first photo flashing gang signs?
No idea. Would you be surprised if he were?
No, not really. But I would hope someone local would identify him and get him removed from duty if he was.
And yet the people/republicans of Arizona voted for McCain. They did little good ,as to their struggle, by allowing McCain to keep going on his USA second policy.
You guys need to buy up a bunch of mex flags. Burn em in wholesale lots.
Depends on your definition of "actively."
If you're asking would I try to physically interfere with them, the answer is no. That DOES NOT mean I wouldn't want to. But doing so would be violating their right to free speech.
If you're asking if I would verbally abuse and intimidate them, read my oiginal reply.
Two words to the accusations of those at the protest. “We Won”.
The sick obsessions these people have is disturbing---they believe their lack of self-esteem should be financed by US taxpayers.
These people need serious counseling.
They came here with a hidden agenda-----to undermine US natl security.
If these Third World lowlifes can't respect America and Americans, they should get out of our country, pronto.
The illegals and their Mexican pro-illegal alien supporters, spray painted, "Burn this racist city to the ground" and placed a toilet seat on Old Glory as they walked all over our flag....
Unfortunately....our beloved leaders (*cough*) have pounded it into their heads that they have as much right to be here as we do... and deserve to sponge off our tax dollars.
Cowards they are.....not having enough spunk to change their own country. Oh wait....that would take real guts, eh?
I wonder if those morons understand just how primitive this land would still be without the Europeans having come here and made something of it? Well, maybe not—the Japanese probably would have come over here and done something similar. Except they would have likely eradicated the Indians. And no, the US did not try. If it had there simply wouldn’t be any Indians. It was well within an industrial civilization’s capacity to wipe out stone age tribesmen if it so desired. Dear Indian chauvanists: Go live in a dirt or skin hut, without running water or modern medicine, science, education, or really modern ANYTHING, and I’ll pack up for Europe!
What the hell was Homeland Security there anyway? They should have been arresting the lowlife alien scum rather than protecting them. Desecrating our flag seems to be the only real job they do because (real) Americans won’t do it. And tackling a veteran for trying to rescue the flag!!! Loathe and fear what we are becoming and prepare to defend the nation. IT’S CLEAR OUR MARXIST, GLOBALIST ADMINISTRATION HAVE NOT AND NEVER WILL.

Being a war hero makes one a very attractive Pied Piper. I truly hope his conversion is real
Already did that. The bonfire could be seen from miles around. Didn't do any good :-)
IMHO, burning flags, other than pissing off people and feeding anger, doesn't accomplish a damn thing.
Well, there’s one Veteran that loved his country enough to take action without once pausing to dwell upon the rights of the vermin. There comes a time when screaming and yelling just doesn’t cut it!
