This afternoon we received a call from a viewer who said a business near downtown Reno was flying a Mexican flag above an American flag... which is in fact illegal.

This, after photos and comments about the flag were posted on Craigslist this morning. When we were able to have a photographer go and check everything out we found the story to be true.

It also didn t take long before the situation provoked a strong reaction. We are now going to show you , unedited, what happened. Click on the video to see what happened.

 

Sorry!  I don't know how to embed the video, but if you click on the link you can see it!  It's pretty amazing!

 

What do you think of this?!

I wave my flag to the veteran who took care of honoring our flag. Now if there could be something done about Westboro Baptist Church wrapping American Flags around their shoes and wearing American Flags upside down around their waist like beach towels, I would be one happy American Flag waver.

Wow! I can just see it now, the veteran who took the flag down getting charged, but the one who broke the flag display law gets off scott free.

I hope people also took time to watch the end of the video regarding the illegals being arrested from local McDonalds in Reno. Fifty-six illegals taken into custody and the people are angry? I just wish I knew if they were angry at McDonald's for hiring illegals or the officials for taking them into custody.

Flaglady, what are you talking about? I had not heard this story. Do you have a blog on this?

yeah Flag Lady! I'd like to see this too.

I heard about the McDonald's thing, pretty crazy if you ask me. I mean really how hard is it to do a background check. At LEAST check to see if their SS# is real! sheesh.

Sounds to me like the ones flying that flag need a good butt whooping. Maybe it is time for a road trip!
The folks at Westboro need the same exact treatment. And they like to interrupt military funerals also. Time for a 21 gun salute with live ammo if you ask me.

LadyCardFan, you never heard of Westboro Baptist Church? I know you know who these !%@#$%&s are, you just recognize their name. They are the ones who protest at military funerals. When they protest they walk on the American Flag, they change the words to military branch songs to horrible words. They are out there to hurt our fallen military families. You won't actual get to see these horrible people because the Patriot Guard Riders surround them and use their motorcycles to drown them out. Before the Patriot Guard Riders and before changes in the laws, these animals were seen by the grieving families. It would make you cry to see a WWII Veteran holding back the tears and shaking when they would see Westboro walking on an American Flag.

Great video!!!! That vet is one courageous man. He gave me the chills. I am just thankful no violence occured.

Now, as far as the idiots who protest at fallen military funerals....why in the hell would first do that to ANYONE let alone the military? Respect people, come on....two...if you are for our country you don't wear the flag on your shoes....RESPECT people. I think they should be shot in the A$$. Of course I would like to do worse to those idiots but I don't want to go to jail. I thank God for our miltary service men and women, without them we wouldn't be free.

I did not know you are breaking the law to fly another flag higher than the American Flag on a flagpole. Hats off to the Verteran who handled it with grace, dignity, and with no violence (Big old Army Knife didn't hurt).

As for as Westboro, they have family members who are attorneys, suppose to be very smart attorneys. Westboro gets their money from sueing when their rights are violated. What they are doing, they do legally. They will do their best to provoke so people violate Westboro's rights.

Local, State, and Federal Governments did take a stand passing laws that don't violate Westboro's rights but limits them to where and when they can protest.

Now if you want to stop people from walking, burning, writing on, or improperly displaying American Flags WRITE YOUR LAWMAKERS. Tell them these practices should be against the law.

It was in SPANISH!!!

Write your lawmakers tell them you want the official language for the USA to be ENGLISH.

Good for him.But he could get into trouble for taking the flag.If so then the owner should get into trouble for putting it up that way.What is good for the goose should be good for the gander.But I don't think he will press charges.I hope.

Jeanette, you actually have to go to the home page of the news station that it was displayed on and then you can view it......That veteran deserves a medal if you ask me.

When I lived in Ohio you see illigals all time working for farmers picking tomatoes mostly because of the Hizes factory.. But it be funny every time they see a white van you could tell who was leagall and who was not.. As soon as a white van drive by a farmers fild you see all but mabey 1 or 2 run into the woods..
It be funny sometimes all em be running because if they got em they sent em back to Mexico..

Anothere bad thing about them was the way they lived in rat infested old rusty trailers that should be condemed.
The yards what was left of em would be filled with garbage and old rotten furnituer.
People that lived in the commuinty would scream for them to do something..

Even the mexicans who were leagal hated the illegald because they give them a bad name..

And nobody would rent halls out to anyone during the picking season if they was spanish because thay always ened up with a big fist fight or shooting..

Friday and Saturday night NOBIDY go anywere downown because they all be dow there at the bars and fighting and stuff..

And forget the cops helping they all be hiding LOL...

I am glad he did that. People are either too scared or dont want to get involved in things like this. Finally someone stood up and did something. I hope if I ever see something like that, that I would do the same. If you love Mexico more than the USA then move to Mexico. We Americans dont need you here!!

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an AMERICAN and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an AMERICAN, and nothing but an AMERICAN...

There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an AMERICAN, but something else also, Isn't an AMERICAN at all. We have room for but one flag, the AMERICAN flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but ONE language here, and that is the ENGLISH language...and we have room for but ONE sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the AMERICAN people."

--Theodore Roosevelt, 1919

My husband and I have been married for 14 years, and have 3 boys. I work part time as a receptionist for a Chiropractor, and I have to say, I LOVE MY JOB! On my days off, I love hanging out at the river, and my new hobby fishing. I also sew on the side, odd jobs and such. I'm hoping to get back into crafting now that the kids are back in school.
