BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A woman was arrested Thursday morning for vandalism and resisting arrest after she allegedly took down a United States flag at Hart Park and raised the Mexican flag in its place, according to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office released an edited video of a portion of the incident and arrest on YouTube.

Officials said county park rangers were called to Hart Park for multiple reports of someone trying to steal the U.S. flag at the park entrance a little after 9:30 a.m.

The sheriff’s office video appears to show a person raising the flag of Mexico at the park entrance.

Rangers arrived and found a vehicle in grass next to the flagpole. Officials identified the woman as Crystal Aguilar, 24, and said she cut a chain that secured the flagpole and threw the flag onto the mud. She then raised the Mexican national flag in its place, according to a release.

She should move to Mexico if it is so great.

I bet she’s fun at parties!.

In the “if I were king” department, if she’s a citizen and did that, she should lose her citizenship and be deported to the country that she placed above the United States. No allegiance to this country?…Gone. You love Mexico more than the U.S.? Well here you go…stay there.

And of course if she is an illegal then gone even faster. We can no longer tolerate ANYONE who wants to undermine America in the name of “multi-culturalism.”

During her arrest she claimed that California is Mexico. Also threatened to kill the deputies and their kids.

I heard they’ve sent 300 construction workers to enlarge the facilities at Gitmo. Just a thought.

I read it backwards for some reason (took down Mexican flag, put up US flag, got arrested).

The sad thing is that I was unsurprised by my mixed-up version of events.

"A Karen I suppose...lib, white, nasty"

"Crystal Aguilar, 24"

Not sure if she was an illegal alien or not, but she had a heavy Mexican/Spanish accent and, after her threats to the officer, most of what she was spewing was Spanish.
She also told the officers that, "This is Mexico".

Ship her to Mex. and blackball her from ever coming back into the USA.

Hey Crystal! Do they still use Kaopectate to paint the white lines in Mexico?

[Resolute Conservative]

She should have been put face down in the same mud Old Glory was during the cuffing and pat-down.
