The occasion was a protest involving approximately 1,000 Hispanic students who walked out of their classes in the El Rancho Unified and Whittier Union High School Districts and marched through the town of Pico Rivera to nearby Montebello High School, where they demonstrated against proposed federal legislation on illegal immigration. Mexican flags were common currency at the event, but the standard waving got out of hand when a group of protestors hoisted the flag of Mexico up the school flagpole with the Stars and Stripes beneath it, upside-down.

I don’ see why the “American” people are so upset over this whole affair. Your ancestors had no problem doing the same thing to my people two hundred years ago, now you don’t like it when you’re on the receiving end.Sooooo sorry!!!
C’mon David Littlehorse, that’s like saying I owe African Americans “reparations” when they were never slaves and I never owned one. Just because some losers back in history did bad things to Native Americans doesn’t mean I have this crap coming to me now.
Eileen makes a good point that still stands true, but you also need to consider the fact that when we did this to “your people” 200 years ago, we were moving towards independence from Great Britain. These people want to spit in the face of our country and then still live here.
If you want to disrespect someone’s flag and then leave, be my guest. But these people wanna disrespect the country that they are a guest of (often uninvited guest) and then still live in it. If these people feel this way, they should just leave. Let me try going to the Hilton without paying any entrance dues, punch the clerk in the mouth because they didn’t provide me with valet and still expect to stay the night.
Next time you want to bring a double-standard to light, make sure it’s not an apples-oranges comparison. This is completely un-parallel to your example, David.
To David Littlehorse: So sorry that the posts on 4.30 and 5.4 were non-supportive and devisive. Is it so much for whites to believe that Native Americans were ravaged out of fear and selfishness. Is it so much to ask that people admit a wrong (slavery, holocaust, wrongful “encampment” of Japanese-Americans, etc), and apologize. Forgiveness is so healing.
SHir hey wake up! you too Littledick this is still the USA
If I would of saw this happen I would be getting the DEATH PENALTY… I still believe in my flag and will die to protect it and destroy anyone that I see disrespecting it, USA
love it or leave it . And if you want a war say it let all
Americans hear it . Hopefully they will wake up…..cd
