Meximerica? File This Under WTF! UPDATED

"This afternoon we received a call from a viewer who said a business near downtown Reno was flying a Mexican flag above an American flag... which is in fact illegal.

This, after photos and comments about the flag were posted on Craigslist this morning. When we were able to have a photographer go and check everything out we found the story to be true."

Watch the valiant Vet cut down the flag here!

So apparently a Vet climbed up there and took a knife out cut it down. Here are some comments:

I support the veteran who removed the American flag with his knife.
They don't deserve to get it back after illegally placing the Mexican flag above ours. If charges are brought against the veteran for theft, I anticipate a firestorm of protest.
This is disgraceful!

I was so happy that someone finally decided to stand up for Americans. The way the hispanic community disgraces our flag is horrible.
Next time they decide to march at the federal building make sure immigation is there, because it's only the illegals that demonstrate.
I would love to meet that guy and shake his hand. God Bless Him.

The gentlemen who took down the mexican flag should be honored for his patriotism and protecting our flag which was being used illegally. The owner of the bar who claims to be a citizen prefers mexico to America by his actions.
Maybe he needs to have his status checked and if here illegally, deported. Then your followup story had to do with more mexicans protesting.
To hell with them, close the border and finally build the fence that GW promised and has funded.
