Old Glory Strikes Back
2012-09-18
In an apparent case of red, white and blue revenge, a Pakistani protester died yesterday after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag during an anti-US rally.

Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city's Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.

Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan's Express Tribune reported.
What more can I say?

#9  Pakistan has a big clothing manufacturing sector, sasdly hobbled by intermittent power blackouts. No doubt the flags were domestically made.

#7  LR, I thought about that, too. I do wonder where they get all the flags. Probably from China.

#3  What a positively brilliant idea. Embed some small ampules of dimethyl mercury, or similar, in loads of American flags, and distribute them in Islamist-infested communities throughout the world.

Then go buy some popcorn and beer, sit back , and enjoy the gurgling sounds as the Jihadis extinguish themselves.

I can only dream .......

#2  If we're not careful, they jihadis will catch on to the toxins embedded in all American flags. The Juice did it, of course!

#1  Our flag does not like jihadists defiling it. It will happen again. Where do these guys get all these American flags for seething and rage demon_strations? Probably at the "Rent-A-Mob, Effigy, and Flag Store."
