Outpouring of support for Dallas vet whose flags were torched

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 2, 2009 12:12 PM
They haven’t found the culprits yet who burned the U.S. and military flags of a former Marine in north Dallas this week.

But support and offers to replace the flags have poured in.

Avi Selk of the Dallas Morning News has the follow-up:

Our little story about a few front-porch flags that got burned in Far North Dallas has sparked a firestorm of attention since it ran on Tuesday.

The story, which my editor discovered from a single line in an obscure police report, (”UNK SUSP BURNED USA FLAG MOUNTED IN FRONT OF COMP RESIDENCE”) has also grabbed the attention of nearly every TV station in Dallas and the Associated Press. It’s also made the rounds on Twitter and caught the eye of conservative blogger Michelle Malkin.

Since writing the article, I’ve been contacted by soldiers, civilians, a flag manufacturer and the agent for Kid Rock — all of whom want to help replace the burned flags. An Army veteran offered up an American flag he said had been flown over several camps and bases in Iraq.

    PS It’s former Marine…once a Marine, always a Marine, except in the case of Murtha.. He’s definitely an EX.

    It’s a shame that there are people who have such little respect for the flag that they would do this.

    By any chance was Obama’s buddy Ayers in the area at that time?

    Maybe some Marines will find the culprits and turn them into the police. Then again maybe not.

    Disgusting.

    I know at least one Army guy who would do that job, too.

    I say this because THEY DONT TEACH WHAT THE FLAG STANDS FOR!!!!!!!!!!!
    The Men & Women who died for what the Flag stands for. All the GOOD America has done in her short History.
    Burning the flag IS NOT a Freedom of Speech… It is a Capital Offence in my book.

    If the FBI had combed this Marine’s front porch, would they have found Cindy Sheehan’s fingerprints? Just a thought.

    No need. The North Dallas area is full of little rich b!tches (of all genders) who suck off their parents and chant radical collectivist crap in their air-conditioned mansions. They would be capable of this kind of outrage.

    Nah. At most, a minor property crime.

    Maybe there is hope for our nation yet but it is going to take a lot more than flying a flag to take it back. It is nice to see some patriotic support shine through and actually see the light of day in the press too.

    I’m sure the Tx Rangers are on the case. We (Texans) don’t take kindly to imbeciles who show disrespect.

    Well then, I blame the parents. They are paying for it now…and later!

    They are in the criminal justice system, still making a carbon footprint, consuming oxygen.

    It will be interesting to see what happens to them when the law is finished with them….

    Sad state of affairs that the Great State of Texas is polluted by people who should feel more at home in New York or California

    This would be a wonderful replacement (even though it would be from the Army) for this former US Marine. It would be really nice to establish an around the clock ambush for the little sociopaths that burned this man’s property and the symbols of those that have served and sacrifice for this nation should they try it again. A good sound beating just might teach them to respect another person’s property.

    First of all, all crime involves some sort of hate. These idiots apparently hate this country.

    Seconly, when caught, bring these waterheads to a VFW, or some place similar, and let a few of those great patriots who sacrificed to keep these vermin free to make their mark on them.

    Here in my ultra-liberal, condescending college town, no one was flying a flag except we small majority of conservatives and veterans. Then 9/11 came and demand for flags skyrocketed. People began stealing flags from homes because they were no longer available in stores. Then the people who used to fly flags were the ones who didn’t. Not gonna let some commie punk steal my flag. They wouldn’t have been caught dead with one a week before.

    These flag burners are the same type as the flag stealers.
