Patriot rescues fragment of Old Glory as pro-Hamas agitators burn American flag in viral video
Video at the link.
An unnamed patriot reached into a smoldering heap Wednesday to rescue an American flag from burning at the hands of pro-Hamas agitators.

The man, who wanted to remain anonymous, was able to successfully save a fragment of Old Glory. He told a local journalist who recorded the incident that he is an attorney who works near Union Station in Washington D.C., where the anti-Israel demonstrations happened.

In a video taken by Richie McGinniss and shared via X, the man stoops down into the flames and takes a fragment of the burning flag with his bare hands.

An angry mob rushes after the unnamed man carrying the burned flag, shouting "Get him!" and banging drums.

In the chase, a pro-Hamas agitator can be seen tripping over a skateboard. The anonymous patriot barely escapes through the crowd, running out of Columbus Circle.

In a later video post, McGinniss shares that the unnamed man said, "I grabbed what I could out of the fire and ran."

"I'm ashamed I didn't stop and go back and get the rest of it," the man told McGinniss.

"Thank you, sir, whoever you are – that was brave and honorable behavior on display," a user commented on X.

Agitators also burned an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as an Israeli flag.

At least 23 pro-Hamas agitators were arrested Wednesday during the unruly demonstrations outside Union Station. Vandalism included "F--- ISREAL" painted onto brick pavement, with Israel misspelled.

#5 #3: give them a choice. leave or renounce sharia.
If they do not publicly renounce sharia then it is up to them to depart. If muslims take Israel do you think that israelis would be equal citizens?

#6 Taqqiya permits them to say they renounce sharia in order to protect themselves, irish rage boy. So that won’t work.
