That’s why I’m curious about what really went down. The language is very unclear.

Looking at it again, it says:
“A student took down a Mexican flag from a flagpole outside Scholes Hall Monday, tore it and took it to the Air Force ROTC office, police said.”
From that, it appears to be two separate acts, and that the flag was indeed torn.

Private location? Sure, completely agree.
Public governmental building, as this was? It is completely inappropriate to only fly the flag of a foreign power.

"The Mexican Student Association raised the flag outside Scholes Hall on Friday for Mexican Independence Day, said Cheo Torres, vice president for academic affairs."
Sounds like the flag was raised for a specific date and left up for a longer period of time.

This is my favorite American flag. I fly it on special occassions. I think it will be helpful in the future to identify the rest of the Army.

The way I see it...this flag was raised, not on private property, but on public property. I do not believe a Mexican Flag should be raised over US public property, particularly with no US flag there with it. Our public policy does not honor Mexican Independence...got to the Mxxican consulate to do that, or do it on your own private property.
I also believe that the young man did not "steal" the flag, but took down an inapporporiate flag and took it to the ROTC building and that that was good. Although I can understand his desire to tear it, he should not have done that with someone else's property.
Then, I go back to Travis's comment. This is a continuing escalation in a broader issue, one that should never have been allowed to reach this point, and one that could, to this date, be arrested and set back if we had public officials willing to inact and enforce policy based on US interests. If they continue to not do so...then as Travis indicated, one day it will escalate to something different entirely.

I’m sorry but the whole private property thing is a side issue. I can’t even believe this conversation is taking place. This is about American sovereignty and the fact that we are being invaded. Take that Mexican flag and shove it, burn it or flush it down the toilet.
We’ve got certain Oregon schools with books & teachers supplied by Mexico.
Mexican flags flying where they have no business flying.
Spanish language taking over whole areas, towns and businesses.
Maybe we just need to have a gun shoved up our ass to understand what is really going on here.
Mexican Independence Day?

I have a Vatican flag. Should I go home to the Vatican? No, just hang it below the American flag, and you should be just fine :) Irish Catholic...recongize!

In all the Roman Catholic churches or schoolrooms I remember the American was always displayed with the Vatican flag.We understood that we were citizens of the United States of America and members of the Roman Catholic Church.We never thought of ourselves as citizens of the Vatican.
Those who want to be citizens of any other nation should remember that in the U.S. of A. the laws require the American flag be in the position of highest honor.

If you look at the “Some Oregon schools adopting Mexican curriculum”, #14 - there is a U.S. map which shows by state/color (white to red)each shade indicating % of Mexicans in each state. New Mexico is totally some color of red so overall appearance = Mexico. Assume that people at UNM making day-to-day decisions are all Mexican. Haven’t been to Taos or Santa Fe for several years but I would imagine that it’s gone down the tubes. Wonder how local Indian tribes are dealing with their new residents. Did their ancesters teach them the art of scalping? About half of texas is some shade of red - the valley is totally gone to Mexico. Drove to South Padre this summer. Stopped for gas in small town - absolutely no one at gas station spoke English. How about a winter weather forecast for Colorado and Northern New Mexico of 6-8” of snow every day for about 4 months.

“UNMPD investigated the vandalism as a potential hate crime”
It IS a hate crime!
The boy obviously HATES the usurping of his country, and disrespect to same, shown by flying a foreign flag on public property — in place of the American flag.
That’s a “hate” I would hope most Americans would share.
The boy deserves a medal!

And this little flashpoint is taking place right on the campus of the UNM, just like in a book I wrote.

There is nothing wrong with flying flags from other nations in the U.S....This wasn't the flag of Tonga or Thailand. THis is the flag representing the forces of invasion and reconquest. Make no mistake about it, they are staking a claim on our territory, and if we don't fight for it now, we will lose it later.
