But adults do. And adults should not be supporting either side here. It is irrational, and completely an emotional reaction. But if that is not a good enough reason for you how about:
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:38:45 RSV)
If that's not a good enough reason, then I have nothing else that I can say to convince you. Can it be any more clear that Jesus saying that tit for tat actions are not allowed?
Amen, brother.
The smart kids burned the Mexicans flag and I hope the Mexican kids burn an American flag and it gets on TV. The arrogant invaders from Mexico started this and our worthless hacks in DC have accommodated this (invasion) The American people have never wanted hordes from Mexico and Latin America to just come here at will and plop themselves down here.
Yes to legal immigration. BTW Mexico hogs up the legal immigration slots and sends us the most LEGAL immigrants
What dream world are you in? I believe both groups of "children" knew exactly what they were doing!

That fool wouldn't have even been born to say that had not a greater Matthew, Mattithias of the Maccabee clan had not vanquished the Greek Syrians through force of ARMS hundreds of years earlier.
Enemies don't need loving. They need to be met by hard steel.
Yeah, right. Ever heard of Pearl Harbor? How about September 11?
The 'child' as you call him knew EXACTLY the significance of a foreign flag being raised above Old Glory. He's more of a 'man' than most of our US Senators and not nearly as stupid as those in DC willing to allow an invasion upon our soil and open insurrection. His actions were necessitated by the stupidity and inaction of some so-called 'adults' willing to sacrifice their nation upon the altar of apathy and inaction.
