That is known as POSITIVE action, something we all need to see more of! The only way to go. Jim

I understand Jim's feelings but I don't feel he did this in the right way.If he felt so strongly at the time, he should have switched the flags to the proper positioning with the American flag on top and the Mexican flag under, explaining what was wrong. Throwing down the Mexican flag was wrong also. Personally, I would have called the police and asked that they enforce the standing law but only after speaking with the shop owner and trying to see if it was intentional or a deliberate act. Fran

What!?!?! Explain? This man fought for our country! This man doesn't strike me as the "touchy-feely, ask if he is hurting anyone's feelings" type of person. This is a man of action. Any other version of taking our flag down would have amounted to red tape, bureaucracy, lawsuits and the bloody ACLU stepping in. No more political correctness, it is time for more guys like Jim.

Unfortunately, with this fluid movement in our federal government that is anything but pro American, I can easily see them turning it as Jim committing a crime by destroying someone's property, even if they were committing a crime themselves. Taking the knife out to cut away the flag was destruction of property. I also believe he is a good man and has fought for our country and does not want to see our flag defamed as it was. There is just a way to do it in the current times. People like Jim do us all more good by being out there and not possibly getting themselves in trouble. What we don't know is what went on before this video was filmed. It may be that other actions were taken prior to this filmed snippet, and that would be completely understandable, I just don't know. I would rather get folks on our side to support America rather than having fingers pointed at us like we are all nut jobs because we care for America and believe in freedom. Fran

Wow!! I can't believe they might charge him. What next!! WTG Jim. I think he will be even more of a hero you say. This charging thing could piss enough people off to send your Gov packing.

This is the reason people need to decide where they stand...the time is drawing to a close with this administration...are you going to stand up for what is right or not...no more wishy...washy...namby pamby... As in the days of old...no more debate...where do you stand...? The funny thing is this...
When the debt of our country comes due (and it will) it won't matter which side you are on...rich or poor...you and your kids will pay the full price...If you think this 1% get out of debt tax is the answer...you better get some of that medical smokin juice...and end up in lala land...!
