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!

A little research aint isn't going to hurt you.
Go to the bottom of your journalism class.
Who gave you permission to speak?
" You can't eat cheap lettuce when you've been nuked !"
Great line..............may I borrow that for a tagline?
I'll take one of those t'shirts too.
Ok let's see charges against all those TRUANT Mexican students who were out protesting!
They need to be suspended or in detention hall! Oh, I forgot, they can follow Cynthia McKinney's lead and say that putting them in detention or suspending them was racial discrimination.
What a bunch of garbage this family is having to go through!!
I do remember that. I was not there though.
If I were, I would still be in jail for vehicular manslaughter.
I have revised my tag line. However, no doubt in a few days I will be enraged again and change it. Ha. Feel free to use it!

Arizona is falling also.
He should have cut it in strips, rolled it up on an empty pasteboard tube and used it for toilet paper!
Most of the legs pics I found were NOT postable in a family forum! LMBO!!!
Unfortunately I'm nowhere close to there. Anyone else?
I think the kid is being made an example of in a manner of appeasement by the local DA if the 'arson' charge sticks. This act is not worthy of such a strong charge; there are others available and, of course, prosecutorial discretion.
What are the chances that is actually enforced with the student walk outs from this past week?
Tell ya what, K, let me know if a fund is set up and I'll ping the border list.
I'm not big on burning flags. Every butthole in the World does it to ours all the time. But charging this young man with arson is way over the top. The officials must be reallly chicken.
Sarcasm is nice, sometimes. Remember, the British didn't have as many troops in this country, comparatively speaking, as we do illegals. Nor did they have easy access here, nor shared a 2,000 mile common border. We don't need another war. We need to work out the problem, otherwise, it's not going away. These illegals are "pawns", discarded by their own corrupt government that doesn't care about them and is happy they send U.S. dollars back, while not bothering the dictatorship at home. Meanwhile,here in the U.S., their lawbreaking employers happily employ them, pay them less, don't provide benefits, and let the U.S. taxpayers subsidize their social services. Who are the dupes, yeah, you and I, bud, that's who. And the Boston Tea Party thing, maybe it should be directed at our elected government. They aren't enforcing the laws that would've prevented this problem in the first place.
There's none of that BULL**** Bush spouts about "willing workers" but rather a singular desire to conquer by invasion. These activists are not peaceful people looking for a better life here in America but instead want the continent under Mexico's thumb.
They're so open about it too!
"I thought I heard some of the Mexifornians burning an American Flag during one of their marches, and no one was going to be prosecuted...is that true?"
I heard that an American flag was burned at 7th and Broadway in downtown Los Angeles in the middle of the huge protest last week. The media and the Los Angeles Times' are downplaying everything. A very nasty article against Lou Dobbs of CNN was printed today in the Los Angeles Times "Media" section because Dobbs tells the truth about the invasion of our country by illegals, particulary from Mexico which make up 90% of the millions of illegal aliens in California and they called it "bile." I think they are jealous because Lou Dobbs' ratings are going way up.
