Vandal burns second flag hanging at Dallas home of ex-Marine
The Dallas Morning News ^ | July 14, 2009 | AVI SELK

A vandal has struck again, torching another flag hanging outside the Far North Dallas home of a retired Marine.

The 70-year-old retired Marine helped ignite a patriotic firestorm when an unknown vandal struck the neighborhood just north of Valley View Mall and set fire to Jordan's front-porch American and Marine Corps flags on June 29.

Perhaps a couple of not retired marines should lurk behind the bushes - prepared to perform an “attitude adjustment” on the perps.

Gads, would I love to watch.

I saw the story on last night’s late news. According to one of the neighbors, they guys (several Marines) are on-watch for the perps. I have a feeling they know who it is, and is just gaining evidence.

I don't think they are all that concerned about gaining evidence. They want to find the right opportunity.

This man is an obvious thought criminal whose extreme bitter clinging to not only his shameful and aggressive display of an Amerikan flag, but also the banner of one of the most brutally oppressive Western state secret police forces ever known, and was an affront to his neighbors, their Commune and the local Dallas Collective.

It was necessary for The People to repeatedly rise up against this public enemy and take aggressive action against his hate crimes in order to drive this running-dog lackey of the boorjwazee away from other innocent Comrades.

The fearless American Jihadists who carried out this action bravely risked life and limb doing so because this dangerous and extremely unhappy misfit no doubt has personal firearms in his lair as well. We can only hope that eventually one of our brave Comrades will get rid of the criminal’s house, hopefully after the thought criminal himself is sent to gulag with no shovel to dig his potatoes with...

Texas is a sensible place. If / when I move to the United States I will become a Texan.
