Flag Foolishness
Frayed Flag Frets Frank Fede Fellow
"A veteran's complaint about what he calls a "torn and shredded" flag at a local car dealership should be remedied soon, the manager there said yesterday.
Frank Fede, 61, said he spoke to the manager at Mark Rizoli's Auto Village this week about the flag outside the business.
Fede said he did not like the attitude of the manager, Ed Weber of Rutland.
"His response was indifferent, like it wasn't a big deal," said Fede, who started noticing the situation a couple of weeks ago. "It is a big deal. It just seemed like this guy didn't really care.
"I just want him to acknowledge it and do something, especially at this time when we're at war. We have people dying over there."
Maybe your priorities are a little mixed up there, Frank. Shouldn't you be worried about getting them home safe rather than getting upset over a few flapping threads?
Man charged with bringing flag close to his penis
"When the police officer took him to the side, he sat down actually, put the flag in his pants, and sat down on the flag and then he was rubbing his privates with the flag. The police officer got very upset over that, you could tell," recalled Johnson.
White's now in jail on a $500 bond. He's charged with public mutilation of the flag."
Everything's fine, nothing is wrong, you can't do that
"Beth Hammer has turned her gated Wheat Ridge community upside down with her upside-down display of the U.S. flag.
On March 19 - the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq - Hammer decided to hang her flag upside down, which under the federal flag code is a signal of distress.
(...)
The association board notified Beth Hammer in an April 24 letter that the flag display is against federal flag code and is in violation of the association's "patriotic and political expression policy."
The letter gave her a week to right the flag or face fines that appear to range from $25 to $500."
