Just got home from work, and was listening to Joe Crummy on KFYI interview one of the dads of the kids that burned the Mexican flag:
Apparently, his kid was arrested by AJ Police and was held in detention in Florence all day yesterday. CHarged with Arson. It took all of their savings to get a retainer for an atty.
It gets better. The family is now getting death threats. They were informed by police that there are those trying to find out where the family lives, and are going after them. AJ police stated to the father, there is nothing they can do about it, until someone actually shows up on their property.
Also, there was another kid from the school (Rod, who said he was a "future" Marine) read that letter from the school, forbiding any kid to wear any article of clothing resembling or representing a flag, no matter what country it represents.
He said emphatically, that he *will* wear the US Flag to school Monday.
Apparently this flag burning was near the ROTC table.
My respect for the kids in AJ have grown a hundred fold!

death threats for burning a mexican flag?
I think it is notional burn a red, white, and green flag day!
It's public school property, where a fishstick is a gun, an aspirin is cocaine, and arson means whatever they want it to.
I thought burning flags was free speech? Only US flags I guess.
I TOLD YOU SO...
Don't let the pro-illegal alien supporters here on FR hear you. They'll be on you like a duck on a June bug. They arrive in swarms.
Maybe not.. but maybe a good case for a counter $uit to get the bugger who made the complaint and the police department for fal$e arre$t.
I always thought "arson" was the younger brother of "Orson" Wells...oh well.
Great point. Understand that its quite hard to wrap your mind around. You want so hard to not think educators are idiots, but they throw stuff like this at us constantly, and make little real sense.
I thought so too. Are some flags more equal than others? If you get my drift.
The demographics as I know 'em make the story a little confusing to me...
Those are very difficult cases to pursue...
I was thinking that myself. He should do that.

Don't give them any ideas
America is screwed. Don't forget to turn the lights out.
If you find out where we can contribute, let me know. This is outrageous! These illegal scum have no loyalty to this country. They spit on our flag and trumpet the mexican flag. May they burn in hell.
Pres. Bush could get a lot of brownie points with a visit and Presidential pardon... (just a thought if you're lurking Mr. President).
.....the charge will probably be reduced to "burning garbage without a permit"
