http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/articl ... p&c_id=chc"What they were doing was wrong then, in 1976. In my mind, it's wrong now, in 2006. It's the way I was raised. My thoughts were reinforced with my six years in the Marine Corp Reserves. It was also reinforced by a lot of friends who lost their lives protecting the rights and freedoms that flag represented.
"So I started to run after them. To this day, I couldn't tell you what was running through my mind except I was mad, I was angry and it was wrong for a lot of reasons.
"Then the wind blew the first match out. There was hardly ever any wind at Dodger Stadium. The second match was lit, just as I got there. I did think that if I could bowl them over, they can't do what they're trying to do.
"I saw them go and put the match down to the flag. It's soaked in lighter fluid at this time. Well, they can't light it if they don't have it. So I just scooped it up.
Jarhead wisdom-- hard to argue with.

What happened to those two little scumbags?

This really upsets me. Could everybody do me a favor and just take a moment to say the pledge of allegiance?

The man was fined about 50 bucks, nothing happened to his juvenile son. Most importantly, they weren't lionized by the media and faded into obscurity.Bob Wildes wrote:What happened to those two little scumbags?

That was awesome. Somehow this is the first I have heard of this.
