>>but to visibilize the necessity of honoring all human life and to help a friend heal from the violence of genocide that she carries with her on a daily basis as an indigenous person. While the American flags on the Middlebury hillside symbolize to some the loss of innocent lives in New York, to others they represent centuries of bloody conquest and mass murder. As a settler on stolen land
Just SHUT-UP and open a CASINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this in Middlebury, VT?

Two of five unidentified protestors uproot flags dedicated to the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks in a midday protest.
A 2,977 flag memorial was ripped out of the ground in front of Mead Memorial Chapel shortly before 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11 by a group of five protestors claiming that the flags were on top of a sacred Abenaki burial site.
The flags — meant to commemorate each of the 2,977 lives taken in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks — have been posted in the grass between Mead Chapel and the Davis Family Library annually in a joint effort between the College Republicans and Democrats for nearly 10 years.
Ben Kinney ’15, president of the College Republicans, spent two hours putting the flags outside of Mead Chapel on Tuesday night, and happened to be walking up the hill towards the chapel when he saw four females and one male stuffing the miniature flags into black trash bags.
“I got there just as they were taking the very last of them out of the ground and putting them in piles,” he said. “At first, I (thought) the group was comprised of College Democrats helping put the flags away before the rain rolled in, but then I realized what they were doing.”
Kinney said the protestors told him they were “confiscating” the flags in protest of “America’s imperialism.” Julia Madden ’14, was walking back from Proctor when she saw the five people uprooting the flags.
“I was just getting out of class, but when I saw what they were doing I decided to say something,” she said. “They were quickly putting them into two big plastic trash bags. I’m mad at myself for not being more aggressive. I was just dumbfounded. There was no discussion. No compromise. We asked if we could put them somewhere else, but they wouldn’t listen.”
Your people lost, squaw.
Get over it.

No doubt.
They won in Massachusetts
Legacy of 20 years of constant attacks on Israeli "settlers" on "stolen" "Palestinian land".
I could not read past the first few sentences.
This woman is totally deranged and consumed with bitterness for events which have no more bearing on her than Henry VIII’s relations with Anne Boleyn has on you & I.
Fruitcake!
“Lickers...”
No, no...resist, I much...
The dirtbags stole flags that belonged to someone else? Have them arrested.
Shouldn’t these people be charged with theft? Those flags cost money, even if it was 50 cents each, that’s still a lot added up. Refusing to give them back after being asked sure reads like theft to me.

No doubt she’ll reply that “well, you stole our native land”.
Two wrongs must make a right.
I'm taking odds that she will receive a text message from Andrew Weiner within the next 3 days.
I don’t think the sheriff will buy into that...
Theft of property. If those flags cost more than $0.335/each, times 3,000, then it’s felony (4th degree) grand larceny in NY State.
From Midd. College’s facebook by Mark Carolla:
When I called President Liebowitz’s office yesterday I spoke with Ms.McBride and strongly urged and respectfully demanded as a member of the Middlebury Community that those responsible for this heinous, arrogant and disrespectful act be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law — theft, destruction of property, vandalism, and for the non students tresspassing come to mind at the local level...violation of civil rights also comes to mind. As for the Midd students who were seen doing this - this is obviously a violation of everything Middlebury stands for and standards of conduct.
As a very minimum they should be suspended for a year and I believe that expulsion would be an appropriate punishment - for the non-students getting a court order restraining them from ever coming onto campus should be easy. I’m hoping Presidrent Liebowitz will do more than deplore and am encouraged by his “disciplinary investigation” which I hope will result in severe sanctions opposed on those who did this. Thank you.
