a symbol...of which you would be damn glad to see if you had ever been elsewhere and seen it from afar...like a fricking beacon...a light shining in a dark arse world

quote:
demand that others do it

I never said demand...I said I would exercise my first amendment right to tell them they are fricked up for not doing so...

imho, you are the troll of trolls...either that or you have a fricked up world view...you are proud to be from Georgia, as am I...because of its history and because it is where you are from...its in your heart and your soul....I respect the stars and stripes for the same reason..it reminds me of home...and I think about that when I salute it...the reason I asked if you've served....(and you didn't answer)...is because even though this place may not be perfect..it is home...and I remember seeing that flag flying when I was deployed...and it was a symbol of home...and always will be...

plus....lots of people have died for that flag...for right and wrong reasons...but they did die...and it is also for those that I pay respect...to not do so...imo...is to piss on their graves...so do what you want when the anthem is played and the flag saluted...but I will reserve the right to call you out for disrespecting it

Obviously I wasn't there so I can't comment on the specifics, but it seems inappropriate to intentionally block the path of someone who is simply moving by during the national anthem. Especially when you don't know a thing about them or why them might be in a hurry.

Again, I wasn't there, but the visual I got from Hinesville's description sounded like self-righteous busybody meddling, and frankly a pretty childish way to make your point. If this was that important to you wouldn't it have made more sense to respectfully ask him to stop rather than to block a grown man's path?
