"People have made too many sacrifices to protect the flag and to leave this happen in my community, I'm not happy with it," L.J. Berg, the Allegheny Township assistant chief, said."
At least the Chief of Police understands the military woman's outrage.
ummm...why???
Cause he's paying his bills and those cause him distress.....
I spent a career in the service, defending this asshole's right to desecrate the flag. To me, the flag is a symbol, that I personally would never desecrate, but he is within his rights. I would probably put a sign on my property facing his if I lived there saying, 'You are an Asshole, People died under and for that flag, but you have every right to be an idiot that should never re-produce.' Additionally, I'd call attention to this assclown whenever possible (though that might be exactly what he wants) and publicly ridicule him.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Got'cha!
You got that right!
LOL...
