I have an American flag with a Trump flag under it in the center of my flower garden. This morning some idiot pulled the flag pole over, broke the golden ball on top and damaged my pole that I just repaired. I guess I can see getting mad and pulling some home owners pole over but they also just disrespected a US flag on Memorial day weekend. Some are really sick. As a disabled veteran I am ashamed and hurt that we have come to this point.

Agree 100%. Too bad this disturbed person has to hide in the dark and do damage to boost his sick agenda.

To the vandal: “A house divided against itself, cannot stand.” (I know, Lincoln was not referring to a pandemic, but it applies to our situation now.)

I hope and pray the disrespectful and unpatriotic vandal who did this is found, arrested and imprisoned.

Some people need mental health help.

No cameras but I have considered getting them. I have an idea who did this because I saw them early this morning in front of their house as I was adjusting the flags. The pole is telescoping and I sometimes put it down low at night in case there is wind or rain. This person.....well I don't want to say anymore. Pure hate is evil.

Lock him up and throw away the key, or can we draw and quarter him.

Personally I do not like trump. However you have the right to have a flag that says trump. As for the American flag You should have a American flag flying. The worst part is that the person who did it. Went on to private property, damage private property . I agree that person should be found and the police notified.

Wow, that guy had no right to do that...what a sicko

this is what scares me....that people are getting so 'jacked up' by the media hype that they are loosing it completely

I know how I would have reacted if someone tried to do that to something on my property and I saw it happening
