I was walking around shopping in Walmart with a couple of buddies, we came a across an American flag that someone had taken out of the case, unfolded then stepped on, dragged and pulled across the floor. We were disgusted and folded it correctly and took it to management. Hopefully they will retire it correctly and show some respect.
EDIT: Damn, it's honestly disgusting the amount of hate on this post. I understand that we have the freedom of speech and you guys are just expressing it but wow. I've had family and friends die so that flag can be proudly flying. I'm shipping off to the army in a year. It's vile how little respect people pay to such a emblem to a great country. When I'm on the front lines defending my country just so people can do shït like this is disgusting. I'm disappointed.
EDIT2: Yes I understand that they will most likely not retire it correctly, but around my city we have multiple bins put up by veterans where you can put your flag in and veterans will retire it correctly. The city is Tallahassee by the way.

Edited by Hellbent02: 3/4/2016 6:01:03 AMOur flag used to be something to be proud of but now days I wonder. Our government is nothing but corrupt asshats trying to help the rich get richer and the poor poorer. I'm also pretty sure there is some secret agenda in having soldiers over in the middle east beside protecting America and others. America used to be great, now it's every man for himself. Also the only time people seem to become patriotic is during some event like 911 and after a month or so it's back to business. Kinda like people changing their Facebook profile picture to the color of France to support parris "look parris! I support you cause my profile has your colors hur durr!" Saving parris one fb profile at a time.

Edited by Princess Anomaly: 3/1/2016 5:30:02 PMIn America it's frowned upon to "desecrate" a piece of cloth, but it's legal in most states to discriminate against gay and trans people for employment. Such a [i]great[/i] country we live in

Flying a confederate flag is just a harmless way of showing the past. But heaven forbid someone drops an American flag on the floor.

Seeing how everyone fears us it's not something new.

You know that flag that represents 'freedom' and 'democracy' was made by some little Chinese kid in China or Vietnam *gets sprinkled*

Most disrespectful thing in Walmart is how they treat customers. Ever remember a friendly person asking if you need help? They walk right by you.
-
Is our country still great?

Edited by On Television: 3/2/2016 6:52:54 PMI never really understood the vehement passion with which people defend the flag. People fought and died for the security of our country, not a piece of cloth. I take more of an issue with the fact that people ruined merchandise and didn't pay for it.

Edited by A Hippo7910: 3/1/2016 11:22:00 AMPeople who say it's just a flag are as follows: -Disrespectful -Ignorant -Too young and immature to understand what our flag represents -Terrorists -Probably some stupid teenager trying to jump on some hipster bandwagon And need to: -Get flash mobbed by a group of vets EDIT: Previous punishments were a bit extreme
-
It's a bit of cloth with a design on it that means nothing. Am shocked and appalled.
-
Those who desecrate the Stars and Stripes shall die a traitors death. Or you can move to Mexico or Canada.
-
At the end of the day, it's just cloth. The world isn't going to end because one guy is an asshole. Calling people vile over this is a bit of an overreaction.

Thank you for doing the right thing. -blam!- the haters
