Stomp on the American flag like Obama's buddy, burn it, spit on it...every liberal dirtbag is defending these actions as some sort of a protected right?

But how dare someone throw the respected Mexican flag in a garbage can? Oh, the irony.

The mexican flag has no value in the US, I am sure the coach had a good reason for taking the flag from the little B@STARD!!!
At the rate the dollar is sinking, that flag will have more worth than a 20 spot.

Suspected Illegal Immigrant Charged With Rape, Impregnating 10-Year-Old Girl
ST. ANTHONY, Idaho — A suspected illegal immigrant has been charged with raping a 10-year-old girl who later gave birth in eastern Idaho.
The girl gave birth less than two weeks ago by caesarian section at Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Fremont County Sheriff Ralph C. Davis and other authorities said. Officials would not disclose the gender, date of birth or paternity of the baby.
"I wouldn't have believed a 10-year-old could conceive in the first place," Davis said.
A hospital spokeswoman would not discuss the condition of the girl or the baby and would not say whether either was still in the hospital Wednesday.
The story was first reported by KIDK Television in Idaho Falls.
St. Anthony police began investigating on April 28 after medical officials reported a pregnant child, and Guadalupe Gutierrez-Juarez, 37, of St. Anthony, was arrested the same day, Police Chief James Smith said.
"We had good information from witnesses," Smith said.
In documents that were filed April 29 in 7th District Court and obtained by The Associated Press, Gutierrez-Juarez is charged with one count of rape. He remained in jail with bail set at $250,000 pending a preliminary hearing May 13.
Authorities said Gutierrez-Juarez did not have legal documentation to live in the United States. His home town and nationality were not immediately clear, but police said they had received no complaints about him before investigating the pregnancy.
The investigation was continuing. Smith would not give details on the condition of the girl but said additional counts of rape could be filed.
"The prosecutor is still considering doing that," he said.
Prosecutor Karl H. Lewies did not return telephone calls Wednesday from The AP.
Child protection laws prohibit the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare from confirming whether the agency was contacted about the case, spokesman Tom Shanahan said.
"In a situation like that, we probably would be contacted by the hospital," Shanahan said. "If there was a crime committed we would be working with local law enforcement."
If the girl's home is found to be unsafe, a custody hearing would be held immediately and the courts would decide where to place her, Shanahan said.
"If they decide the child needs foster care, we would do that immediately," he said.
While a 10-year-old giving birth is highly unusual, it is not impossible, said Laurie Krieger, a medical anthropologist in Washington D.C.
"We do know that girls in the U.S. are menstruating sooner," a development which can speed up the production of sex hormones and make pregnancy possible earlier than might have been thought likely, Kreiger said.
Nutrition, body mass and other factors, including the fact that children in the United States weigh more than in past generations, contribute to early menstruation, she added.
Sad story no doubt. Now how many little girls and boys do white Americans rape each year all over the world. They go to Costa Rica, El Salvador, Thailand, Philipines to do their dirty things aboard. But I gues that is ok. Than do not get mad when one of those countries burn your flag.
You know I am right.

I would love to see the posts here if it was an Irish flag on St. Patrick's day or, an Italian flag on Columbus day. Hey, what if it were an American flag on Independance day? Seriously, I'd love to see the difference in reactions here. Bottom line, it was the kids property and it wasn't disruptive, it's not the teachers to throw away, it was basically stolen, period!!!

The teacher was just demonstrating the lesson that when you finish with your trash, you're supposed to put it in the proper place.
What's the problem?
Whirlwind, I guess you can't draw a distinction between special occasions when Irish flags are flown and the everyday invasion in which Mexicans come here and try to make this country into an extension of that s#!thole they come from, Mexico. Hardly the same thing going on in both examples. Irish are not trying to overrun our country.
Hah, we already have overrun the country. Along with Italians, Germans, Czechs, etc, etc, etc. The flag was the kids property and the teacher didn't have any good reason to take it. I swear it's so easy to spot people who've never been exposed to Mexicans, they're so afraid. Seriously, you all should try to speak to one Mexican this month, see what a "terrible" experience it is. Bunch of tightwads here.

The kid brought the flag for a freakin holiday. Man, people are so petty and spiteful. On Saint Patrick's day I see Irish flags and German flags during Octobre fest. There is nothing wrong with showing a little pride on a holiday. I could see if this kid was bringing the flag everyday. Let's be a little more tolerant.
What holiday? It isn't a holiday in this country.

Smarten up, dope.

"Clint Straatman denies Froylan Camelo's version of events but said he took the flag Monday because "white kids" might have hurt the 16-year-old. He said he put it in a garbage can because he had no place else to keep it"

No place else to keep a fully foldable flag, sounds real plausible (end sarcasm). Way to be adult about the situation Mr. Straatman.

That coach is nothing but a redneck biased old bastard. People like that coach should be sent to the front line of the war, maybe then we can kill off the ignorance in this country.

Yeah, you say it as though Wright didn't catch hell for it either douche! At least Wright earned the right to do it fighting in a war Bush didn't have 1/2 the balls to fight himself. Nonetheless, I think Wright desecrated a flag that belonged to him, not somebody elses.
Wright, and all s cumbag lieberals need to be kicked out of this country before they complete their destruction of it.

From Switzerland: Respect for all country's flag should be exhibited, regardless of which country you are int.

However, I'd buy his teacher a beer.

Teacher should not have tossed it in the garbage. The student has a valid complaint. I don't think it deserves a lawsuit though. An apology would suffice, IMHO.

Students at my kid's high school wore Mexican colors and Mexican flag images on t-shirts and all was "kosher". In fact, the Hispanic Club held quite the celebration during lunch hours. The principal and super were among the party goers.

(My kid's school is about 48% black, 47% white, 5% Hispanic/Asian/Indian/Other.)

Same goes for Poles and Irish (etc.) who wave those flags on their big days. Right?

With role models like Mr. Straatman, it's no wonder they have "kids saying stuff to each other" and "lots of fights." Way to set a good example for the kids! How incredibly insensitive. Does he degrade and mock kids of Irish descent on St. Patrick's Day, too? I seriously doubt it.

I agree.

There are not many Hispanics in my neighborhood but there were plenty of Mexican flags and other symbols around town... all the restaurants (Mexican and not Mexican) and bars advertised and celebrated with drink specials and open taco bars, etc. Even the new Asian (sushi, Chinese, etc.) restaurant in the neighborhood had Margarita specials advertised.

Douche? Ooh...you really hurt me with that one, Billy.

Anyway, I wasn't talking about Rev. Wrong, you ignoramus. And if he did "desecrate" his own flag, good for him. He doesn't deserve to own one. And coming from him it symbolizes nothing. Besides, anyone who destroys an American flag is a coward. Nothing more, and probably much less.
Ponder that for a while, Billy-boy.

This is yet ANOTHER instance where the dominant culture is fearing 'The Other.' Funny thing: this SAME sentiment occurred in Texas during the 1930s when Mexicans saw that 'state' overrun by Anglos who, after awhile, felt entitled to claim it for themselves (scholars have argued as a pretext to extend slavery into the Southwest -- an issue we ourselves fought over just 25 years later in 1865). It also happened in California when Mexicans (who called themselves 'Californios') saw their land titles gobbled up, first by Anglo squatters, then by exorbitant lawyers fees and high mortgage interest rates (the latter necessary to secure those lawyers) in order to fight the Anglo squatters in court arbitration (Public Land Commission of 1851). Funny thing, though: the Californio's land rights which were all along explicitly protect in the articles of the Treaty of Guadalupe.

Look: I'm not here to rehash a history that many readers here perhaps don't want to acknowledge, or perhaps they feel it is irrelevant to our present-day USA. But one has to admit the IRONIC nature of the predicament we now face. And one has to at least acknowledge the short-sighted arrogance we seem to display towards others whose roots extend deeply into this land -- and in many cases, MUCH DEEPER than our own....
