American flag protected by UNC fraternity brothers | On Balance

As a 71 year old brother of Pi Kappa Phi myself, I'm really proud of you guys!

[@luckylindy1776]

is this a BIG FRAT?, just curious (i was too busy trying to get good grades and work F-T to pay off my state tuition every single year - graduated and with no school debts)....LOL

[@dorettasdozen8537]

I’ll be honest, when I was in college in the south, Pike had a reputation for rowdiness. But you left a great legacy @jeffcrain9757 . On their way to the party, they saved the US flag …. That’s great priorities! And I WOULD vote for that young man.

[@johnr9528]

​ @ASMRyouVEGANyet Yeah, grandma Lavrenz was threatening "Democracy" that January 6th day - a day worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor put together - after her 5 minute Capital visit. Meanwhile, pro Palestine protestors storm Senate cafeteria...crickets...meanwhile, pro Palestine protestors nearly breached an exterior White House gate during a rally while throwing objects over the gate...more crickets....meanwhile pro-Palestine protestors close major U.S. interstates and Golden Gate Bridge and the police assist them. Maybe my mother was in an ambulance and never made it to the hospital that day because of that protest? We'll never know, will we. For the Justice Department, either have equal application of the law regardless of the narrative or drop the damn charade. One year in jail and $210,000 in fines for granny Laverenz. I bet it is one year longer and $210,000 more expensive than the 50 Senate cafeteria breachers will face in totality - make it make sense - you can't. To be fair, I'll wait the 3 years these pro Palestine Capital protestors will spend in prison waiting for their trial before rendering my final judgement. Oh wait, no, they're out.

As an Israeli, these scenes made me cry. It is unbelievable that this is what they are doing inside the US. No matter which side of the political map in Israel, such displays with the American flag will not be approved and will be fully condemned and I hope that this is what they will do in the US as well. It is enough that this conflict is disrupting our lives, why should it also disrupt the lives of people in other countries? Thanks and a lot of appreciation to these men who were there to restore the honor to the flag that it so deserves, and to give other people the courage to do the same the next time.
