Brown University Students Destroy Flags on Veteran's Day


Posted: Nov 17, 2016

I'm a little late with this because I've had scheduled appts. Sorry.

How despicable!!!! Wonder if any of those students had/have family members that were veterans. Nothing is sacred to college students today. They're all out of control and need a good a**-whooping.

Several students at Brown University reportedly tore up and threw away American flags that were set up as part of a Veterans Day ceremony on campus.

The flags lined the sidewalks on the Providence school’s main green in preparation for the annual Veterans Day ceremony sponsored by the Office of Student Veterans and Commissioning Programs, The Brown Daily Herald reported.

Nicholas Strada, a neuroscience major, said he noticed the display had been vandalized when he came out of class on Thursday.

“When I got out of class, people had snapped them, ripped them, and threw them aside,” he wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday. “I spent 1.5 hours outside taping them back together and putting all of them back in the ground, with a few confrontations. Only 2 people out of hundreds of people that passed by stopped to help. One person actually stomped on and snapped all of the ones I put back and when I asked her to stop and explained that they were for Veterans Day she said ‘I don’t care about that.’ “

Mr. Strada’s post included a video — which garnered 58,000 views as of Wednesday morning — showing a female student throwing a pile of American flags on the ground and storming off.

“It would’ve really bothered me to see that done to the flag any day, but just because it was Veterans Day and there was a ceremony, it was a little extra disturbing,” Mr. Strada told The Herald.
