the story almost reads like a drunken attempt at a kind of symbolic suicide.
i think ustwo is right about it as vandalism.
i dont see this particular situation as interesting with reference to the fetishism of the flag--not relevant, a seperate problem. same with the founders. (though frankly between the two fetishes, the flag at least makes some sense to me...i find it ridiculous, but at least it makes sense)
i hope this kid gets some help. he, and his situation, sound fucked up.
