why can't a high schooler fly from his truck


Recommended Posts

Flag dragging apparently is only patriotism when it's some red hat wearing moron attaching it to their extra large truck. 

Flying a big flag off the back of your truck blocks the view for both yourself and others around you while driving. You can't see if someone is coming up in the lane you are about to merge into because there's a big stupid flag flapping in the way. At stops, depending on the way the wind is blowing, it can snap into the faces of pedestrians just walking by on the sidewalk or at cyclists if there's a bike lane there. There's a reason that sort of display is supposedly only for parades - parades have specific routes, everyone knows its happening, and only registered participants are on the street at that time. 

Flag dragging like that also scums up the flag with road debris and exhaust. The placement lends it to potentially get caught on the tire too which will rip the flag, drag it across the road and potentially get it wound up in the axel - snapping that. Or it will get wound up in the axel of the poor idiot stuck behind the flag dragger.

Just so you know ghostrek, if that flag falls off your tailgate and is desecrated; I’ll personally come find you and place you under citizen’s arrest.

You’ve been warned.

I don't a fly flag from my truck well

I'm here for the comments. I'm not watching whatever that video is.

yeah, so, apparently, ghosty here, wants to know why a kid can't hang a flag from the back of his truck, that drags on the ground, at his high school. 

something about 'hIs RiGhTs' or something.
