I care that this guy desecrated the flag of this country. But we can look at this from another perspective.
Do you think it's alright to damage and destroy somebody else's property? Would you want this sort of thing done to you and something you own?
You asked 'who cares,' ask the members of the Polish-American Club if they care.
Have a great weekend.

What if it was a Hate Has No Home Here sign?

Would you be so dismissive? Probably not.

your indifference to make the effort to post about it on Uhub is, I expect, lost on you.

If you really can't be fucked about it, why not just mosey along? Most people figure out that self-consciously sporting an oh-so-blasé failure to be impressed by the world is impressive to exactly no one else by the time they turn 15.

From Shurtleff at City Hall to shirtless in Dorchester, it's been a banner day for Universal Hub!

… compared to the usual BPD pics.
I wonder if someone took them with a camera rather than the usual surveillance camera pics.

Also, the one shown above is very evocative. Before I read the caption, I imagined a very different scenario. He looks like he is using the flag to hold himself up. It seemed to me to suggest something about poverty, American ideals and society’s responsibilities.
