Thread: This lady needs our prayers and support.

OK, let's not attack one another over an issue. We have opposing views, trying to emphasize them to one another, but don't start this. It makes us very unattractive.

Looks like she may only be prejudiced against foreign flags in U.S.

No, her prejudices go way beyond flags.

BTW, did she vandalize the Days Inn and threaten its owner. Also, since the grocery store did not have a flag visible from the street, what prejudice caused her to stop and enter the store?

Need the URL for vandalizing the days inn. The artice I read does not state that.

I have seen no proof that it goes beyond flags and language. I've googled her, and she appears as a fervent woman with her own convictions who broke the law. It is not illegal to fly foreign flags in this country, but obviously she wants to start a movement of sorts to change that law. At least that's what I think after all I've read thus far. I haven't read it all yet! lol

BTW, I read two articles that stated the flag was visible from the street. The media is contradictory.

I didn't say she vandalized the Days Inn, I asked if she did.

She did not, which means, she had other prejudices toward the Mexican grocery store.

In her own words, the small flag she took was not the reason she stopped. In fact, the small flag was on the back door and she did not see it until she entered the store.

She said on July 18 she had noticed a small Mexican flag at a Hispanic grocery in the former Rogers Drug Store.

I just responded that I don't have proof if she did. The only article I read says that she spoke with the owner. So I don't know yet either.

she couldn't rip down the British flag if she had wanted to because it was flying above his business.

as i stated before, some of these articles in the media are contradicting, so i won't use the word fact yet. So i don't want to keep beating details that may/may not have occured or we don't know which media is the most accurate.

In my opinion, the mass amnesty of '86 let a lot of people become citizens without a lot of checking. It is my feeling that new 86 citizens are aiding and abetting the illegals.
The Mexican flag, in my opinion, has become the symbol of reconquista and a sign of assistance and sympathy to illegals.
The British have not demonstrated in our streets to try to reclaim the county that they "lost". The British are not coming over our borders at between 5 and 10 thousand a day. If the British did, they would be deported because they are OTMs. (Other Than Mexican) They are just not part of the North American Union Plan.
As a U.S. citizen, I am tired of paying for the poor management of Mexico. I am tired of being inundated with Mexico's criminals, Mexico's child molesters, Mexico's sexual predators, Mexico's drug dealers, Mexico's poor, and Mexico's anchor babies and Mexico's anarchists that would try to colonize my country.
I am really tired of Hispanic politicians that I believe are only looking out for the Hispanic population of this country and trying to figure out ways to allow a non native to be President. Look at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
The Mexican flag ticks me off also and it has no national symbolism, thus making it just another piece of fabric.
For another country to demand that their flag, a symbol of their nation, have the same respect as the flag of this country is insulting, therefore the Mexican flag is insulting to me.

Great point, I had not thought about that. I don't see many European nation flags in my community. Just some Irish ones around St. Patrick's Day and a Korean one at a local Korean based church, but lots of Mexican flags. At least the Korean church flies the American flag on the flagpole and has a small Korean one on the message board out front. I'm not out to point a finger at just Mexico, but those ARE the flags I see in abundance in my community.

I agree, she snapped and took someone's property (the Mexican Flag). Of course, everyone of us have contemplated doing something disrespectful to the Mexican Flag. I admit that I drop them on the floor when I see them. Taking a $5 flag is a minor offence.

"Kicking the door" just shows the degree of how upset she was. If she broke it or not is questionable.

I agree that if you want to live in America that you should speak English. I think it is OK for June to have told people she expected them to speak English because that's her rights to free speech.

As long as she did not make specific threats, I can not see how anyone’s civil rights were violated. Besides, what right was she violating? I've never heard of civil rights intimidation! That's a new one to me. Anyway, doesn't sound like she was very intimidating. Maybe upset and expressive but intimidating.

Also, a grand jury indictment does not mean you are guilt. The grand jury decides if the case should go to trial, to discover more evidence, investigation and possible prosecution. They case has to be black and white or gray for it to merit a trial. The grand jury does not hear all the evidence, they just decide if the case should be tried so a jury of peers can decide guilt or innocence.
