It was just a random event.
Nothing to see here.... Let's move on.
At a clothing store a couple of blocks from my house, the manager took down his normal window display a few days ago and put in the window a big American flag and some uniforms. A couple of nights later, someone threw some bricks through the giant window.
The manager tells me that police told him "there is no reason to think the vandalism was related to the flag."
We live in a Matlock world.
