why can't a high schooler fly from his truck

[ghostrek]

it called freedom of speech and patriotism

I set my hopes too high, opening this thread and expecting a punchline 🙃

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 would be mad about being misled but I have to be more mad for even clicking this. 

I knew better, but didn't know just how far away from my delusion that this might be interesting this would actually be.

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.

The posts are telling me not to bother clicking, maybe next time

I can’t watch the video because my phone’s being a pain in the ass. But I’d say he can’t fly from his truck because he doesn’t have wings.

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.

Just fucking stop.
