Daveroo,....would you post a link concerning this incident? Before I'd (like to) add my .02 cents worth on this,...is the story legit or not?

[djscoo]

The story is legit... Minus the added racial undertones.

I feel this could get too political for this sub-forum, but House Hobbit, not only is it an insult, but it is also illegal by the laws of the Constitution. The only buildings in America that can have any other nation's flag above the Stars and Stripes are Embassies. Even corporations here that are owned by international concerns must fly their nation's flag below that of the US flag. Ditto, no State flag may be flown above the US Standard.

There are no racial undertones. Hispanics are caucasians. The only undertone here is one of insult and resentment at other's failure to maintain a reasonable amount of respect for this country.

If that's asking too much - there are alternatives.

Well, having followed the multiple video clips, all I can say is God Bless not only the "American Legion Riders" but also the Air Force, who provided a flyover in support of this courageous young man!
