Ignorance of the law is no pass. At the same time I don't equate flying flags as anything felonious or to be worried about.

I don't know I think the general TFP statement will obviously be the old man is some cranked out uber conservative neo-con nationalist facist (insert big word and psychological profile word here). Maybe he is.

I imagine this has a lot to do with the illegal immigration issue. I don't knock some old school veteran getting pissed when he sees his flag being insulted: remember he clearly knew whats what in the situation, even giving the store owner the benefit of the doubt.

I don't get it, mainly how the TFP responds. People here are so quick to get down on the conservative type if they don't see problems or respond to outrage with certain issues. I don't see what makes this guy so wrong, or other Americans who hold the same beliefs. I mostly wish that the moral/political relativism went both ways sometimes.

Also its funny, the headline "Veteran removes ILLEGAL Mexican flag".

People in this country are allowed to make citizens arrest as far as I rememer. Since nothing was being done grossly criminal, I really see nothing wrong, so long as the old guy didn't threaten people directly with the knife while removing. Let him pay some joke ass fee, I think it is a matter of principle.
