In reply to stealing a flag-what does it mean?, posted by smokeymadison on July 8, 2005, at 12:52:46
I don't know what stealing a flag could mean. I used to think that people who stole flags had no scruples but wanted to appear patriotic. I understand flag burning as being an act of outrage and I can understand the strong feelings that would lead one to do such a thing. Flag stealing though is really different.
Could this person have stolen the flag with the intent of burning it? Could feelings of patriotism have gotten in the way? Could she have been more intent on hurting the flags owner?
Thanks for making me think.--Dee
