Brickbat: Capture the Flag

Sergeyussr / Dreamstime.com

The McKean County, Pennsylvania, sheriff's office has suspended deputy Colin Meeker for taking a flag with Nazi symbols from the private property of a white supremacist group while on duty. The group says Meeker got out of his patrol car, climbed a wall, went about 15 feet onto their property and took the flag down. The state police is also investigating the case.

You know who else took down a Nazi flag in a hypocritical act of "liberation" that in fact merely heralded a new age of tyrannny...?

[Rat on a train]

Apostolos Santas?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Er... yes. Yes, that's precisely who I was referring to. Well done, uh, catching up with me on that.

[Rat on a train]

Not Meliton Kantaria and Mikhail Yegorov?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

Well, yeah, that's who I was actually thinking of. (Although maybe not by name).

[Fist of Etiquette]

Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr.

I think the age of George Lucas technically began in '77.

It's never too late to steal a nazi flag.

Alternate joke: "So you have a problem with an Asian religious symbol, you racist?"

The Buddhist sign is the other direction.

The WALL didn't work.

[Longtobefree]

Note that the one who breached the wall was NOT an illegal alien.
He was a citizen acting illegally.
BIG difference.

HEY, two for the price of one today.

I like his chances in a jury trial.

An image of the flag provided by Burnside includes a Nazi swastika with skull and crossbones in the center, along with SS insignia and Iron Crosses.

Can't say I've ever seen a flag like that before.

[Longtobefree]

Wait. The Nazis were/are pirates?

[Stormy Dragon]

Deputy Meeker just didn't like seeing the flag is such a small enclosure, so he moved it somewhere with more lebensraum.

I know, I'm the worst.

[loveconstitution1789]

Heil see what you did there.

PA's northern tier is notorious for white hate groups. Not that there are a lot of them necessarily, but enough to stink up the joint sometimes.

It's now on the flagpole at the sheriff's office.
