A 24-year-old repeat criminal living in Minneapolis has been charged after stealing an American flag from a medical office building in Edina, attaching it to his vehicle and dragging it down the street on Wednesday.

If that wasn’t crazy enough, the man returned the same afternoon to shred the flag after bystanders chased him off and recovered it.

Mahamud Hassan Mahamed was booked on a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree damage to property.

I suggest we send Mahamud Hassan Mahamed to a country where he will not be offended by observing an American flag and in return we will not be offended by observing his ugly face

What a loser. He has nothing else to do with his time than vandalize personal property. Plus desecration of the Flag.

When I was a child every morning we said words like this:

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

(except that one day in jr high where someone delegated to lead this substituted the Jimmy Hendrix version and got suspended)

"Mahamud Hassan Mahamed"

Now, why did I have a feeling that something like that was coming just by reading the title? I must be a psychic!

If not a US citizen yet, deport his ass.

If in the process of naturalization, stop it.

If here on a visa, revoke it.

If here on asylum, deny/reverse it.

If he’s already a US citizen, probably thanks to Obama or Biden, another great Democrat voter for them, we’re stuck with this vermin.

The people who have been charged with deciding who gets into the country do realize that we already have plenty of our own home-grown habitual criminals who hate the country, right? We don’t need to import any more from Somalia, or any other of the world’s plentiful wretched dunghills, right?

Unless,

We can prove that he lied on his citizenship. Then the citizenship should annulled.

He and Ilhan Omar, should be sitting on the next plane to Mogadishu in that case.

Although I'm sure many thousands of Muslims came here under those two Dem scumbags, we actually must also thank one Rep scumbag, Pres. George W. Bush.

Doing a quick search, I learned that hundreds of thousands of legal permanent residents and "temporary" visitors arrived from predominantly Muslim countries during the George W. Bush administration. Tens of thousands of "refugees" from Somalia (which is nearly 100% Muslim) were admitted during his presidency.

For those who don’t know, Edina is a very high end Jewish community.

Actually it goes even farther back than that: Bill Clinton is the one who started importing thousands of Somalis, strangely (or maybe not so strangely) soon after the 'Blackhawk Down' incident in Mogadishu. (Probably it was Hillary's Idea.)

Mahamud Hassan Mahamed. His parents weren’t very creative. This maggot needs to go directly out of the US. One way.
