Angry Vet Cuts Down Illegally Displayed Mexican Flag
KRNV ^ | 10/03/07

-Snip -

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’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.

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
