Vandals damaged about a dozen flags put up in downtown for Turlock’s big parade, jumping to pull the stars and stripes down with their weight, severely bending the poles.
The flags drooped down nearly to the sidewalk. If we’re talking money, it’s about $500 worthe of damage. But of course, we’re talking about the flag, so it goes deeper than that.

And happy Independence Day to you.
Each vandalized flag should be replaced with the vandals who desecrated them.;
If it was the “Amerikan” flag, the one with the picture of the village idiot replacing the stars on the field of blue it would be considered an offense.
Remember that flag: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/14/us-flag-depicting-president-obama-removed-from-floridas-lake-county-democratic/
Lesse. I went to school at Cal State Turlock. It’s just loaded with multiculturalism, particularly of the raghead variety. Tons of ragheads on visiting student’s visas. Nuff said.
Really low information Obama phone voters.
Jerks on the loose. Keep Gitmo open for them.
Next gen of drugged out liberal hippies
I’m pretty tolerant when it comes to this kind of vandalism. My very tolerant view is that the perps should be put in the pillory in the town square, blinded with red-hot pokers, and then released after a couple of days, right after their hands are severed. Then given a tin cup, each. Thanks Bon of Babble.
Me too, but a long time ago. Used to be a pretty conservative school. For California.
Did they replace the flags with Rainbow flags?
You were expecting something different from the state of California???

Correct. It goes ASS KICKING deeper if any veterans had seen these pieces of crap..........
Ouch - When we were 15, we were wandering around after dark and saw a flag flying without the requisite lighting. We lowered it to half-mast in hopes of giving the homeowner a message.
