Local legal sources reveal that Pima County Prosecutor Barbara LaWall, responding to pressure from open border activists and a complaint lodged by the Mexican Consulate, has quietly impaneled a secret grand jury to indict Roy Warden for burning the Mexican Flag.

Flag burning, the burning of venerated symbols, is prohibited by Arizona statutes; however the US Supreme Court has consistently ruled otherwise.

"It all comes down to precise wording and legal terminology", says Warden. "In Arizona only American flags and the flag of Arizona are classified as venerated symbols."

"Mexican flags are not venerated here. They're just trash."

The Mexican government believes otherwise. "We consider any provocation or vandalism of national symbols to be unacceptable", said Foreign Relations Undersecretary Lourdes Aranda. Warden says he will seek a clarification of Mexico's official policy from Tucson Mexican Counsel, Juan Manuel Calderon Jaimez, who has made no public statement to date.

"I will tell Mr. Jaimez I'm going to burn a whole lot more Mexican flags on May 5, whether he likes it or not. And these burnings will take place on public property in the face of the largest groups of Cinco de Mayo celebrants", said Warden.

"I'm going to make Mexican Flag burning the new National Pastime."

As for the indictment, Warden says: "Make sure you include a ham sandwich as one of the counts, Barbara. Because I'm hungry. When this thing comes to court I will eat you alive."
