If you missed this one I think the guy who took the flag down should be congratulated. No one in his right mind should think that it's ok to fly any flag over the american flag...call me patriotic...Im proud to be an american!

here's a link that will open a video

Well done to the guy who took it down. Very nice. I would honestly hope it was an honest mistake, that he didn't know it was a law and that he was too stupid to realize what statement that would send, but c'mon...you'd have to be pretty dense to not figure out what message people will assume you're sending.

At least he was non confrontational and said all the right things on the phone rather than being belligerent.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

The business owner was a US Citizen, but when questioned, he pulled the "No Speakah English" action.

Maybe the dude's innocent, OK, mistake. Maybe he wanted to gain hispanic customers, I can see his honest intent. But choosing to put it on top of Old Glory, well.....

And then the redneck who cut it down (God Bless him) He grabbed his 1976 commemorative knife that he bought on the Home Shopping Network to cut it down.

He'll have that knife framed, and ready for the interviews.

One, or both, of these guys can likely be seen on Today tomorrow.

If the business owner knows what's good for him he'll give a public apology and drop any charges he's thinking of filing. From what I gathered the dude who took the flag down was ex military and obviously was patriotic...the man deserves a standing ovation....

True. If he wants more business, offer an apology, and welcome everybody in. If he fights, he'll lose business while retaining the hispanic business.

But he can have everybody's business if he does the right thing. People will see he's apologetic, and now that there is free marketing on his shop, people will come and see it.

so breaking the law now deserves a standing ovation? vigilantism is not a respectable trait,.

two wrongs don't make a right even if one of them is patriotic.

What do you think the Founding Fathers were doing when they began the Revolutionary War? They broke the law because they saw what needed to be done.

I believe far too many people are afraid to rock the boat and leave the responsibility of doing what is right to other people.

When you get 2 opponents, neither of which are thinking clearly, it's funny how people feel they need to choose one of the sides. Then the debate is born.

I agree the flag should have been taken down, but the dude was a little wacko/emotional.

And the business owner should have been a little more in touch with the country that let him open that shop.

We feel we should pick a side, even though both have faults. Just an observation....
