Giant Tucson American Flag Burned By Protesters
James T Harris Radio Show ^ | 11/06/2017 | \/\/ayne

Posted on 11/06/2017 8:25:14 PM PST by \/\/ayne

Heard on the James T Harris radio show today that Tucson's 20 X 30 foot giant American Flag at Quebedeaux Mitsubishi here in Tuscon on Speedway was burned at 4:30 in the morning sometime this weekend by vandal protesters who got away - for now. They did severe damage to the pole and left a huge pile of ashes on the sidewalk. The family has flown a big flag at their car lot since 1958.

The arson squad was summoned and examined the scene. I'm assuming this is part of Antifa's big resistance weekend.

Quebedeaux Mitsubishi was astounded by the outpouring of love from Tucson and relates "thank you" but they do not need donations to fix the pole and flag. They have that covered and will try to have it back up by Veterans Day.

They were saying it was all on their facbooks of both James T Harris radio show and Quebedeaux Mitsubishi but the posts are mysteriously gone now.

100 years later someone is vandalizing a prized American Flag at a Mitsubishi dealer.

I wish Hirohito had seen this.

Comes one day after Border Patrol started installing mesh on Tuscon area border fencing to prevent people being able to see each other or pass objects between fence posts. FURY has erupted among illegals and Mexicans over this.

At the link it’s the Terry Hatton interview. Listening again, I hear it was Friday Morning which would be 11/03.

Knee-taking, atheistic, cheap-shot low-lifes.

So the real slogan for 11/4 should have been “It began...yesterday.”

Used to be a Pontiac dealership.

The Blakely’s station at Speedway (west of Alvernon) used to have an oversized flag.

Tucson used to be a conservative city. Now it is a Liberal cesspit.

“Tucson used to be a conservative city. Now it is a Liberal cesspit.”

Universities will do that to towns.

Libs destroy everything they touch....everything, including Tucson.
They are the BORG of this century and should be dealt with accordingly.

“Tucson used to be a conservative city”

Gee, maybe that might have something to do with the 40% “hispanic” population (er, Mexican) that votes in nutcase far leftists, you know, the population that used to 10% of the town in 1960?

I remember hearing that flag flapping in the wind when I drove down Speedway as a kid in the ‘60s, was always refreshing.

Was a Conservative radio personality that used the term

“Sliding down the razor blade of life”

I used ‘to cringe’ whenever he said that..

When they repair the flag pole should insert razor blades in it to keep people from shimmying it.

They hope to have it back by Veterans Day.

Would imagine a Vet or two would be camped out in the vicinity.

Maybe some dye bombs like they put in money bags. Mark the scum for a few days.

A similarly-large flag flew over a Homestead, FL, dealership; so large, neighbors complained of the noise—flapping in the breeze.

In Northern AZ and Southern NV every “Terribles” gas station has one of those huge flags.

The owner is simply a patriotic American and proud enough of his country to fly these great big beautiful flags.

I pity the bastard who tries to burn one. Probably get hung and run up the same flagpole for all to see what happens to idiots who try to do that. I’d really like to see that.

The way things are going; public hangings may need to make a come back and then leave them hanging until they fall from the rot separating their heads from their necks.

while the left acts, the right post on FreeRepublic and FB.

In 1865 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.

In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States – who later died from the wound.

In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.

In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.

In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States.

In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.

In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.

In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.

In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby’s cafeteria in Killeen , TX.

In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.

In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service.

In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US …

In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.

In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung – Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.

In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.

In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.

In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.

In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school in Newtown , CT.

As recently as Sept 2013, an angry Democrat shot 12 at a Navy ship yard.

Last weekend a registered democrat beat the tar out of Republican US Senator Rand Paul, leaving the senator with four or five broken ribs and a face that looks like a prize fighter after 20 rounds, he has been charged with a misdemeanor.

While ‘conservative patriots’, wave flags and post veiled threats on facebook.

Clearly there is a real problem with democrats having guns, matches and drugs for little boys and girls.

I think you are supposed to take down a flag at night.

I’ll second that. Have a second home there. Need to sell and get out.
