Here’s the Horrible Thing That Happened to a Veteran After She Tried to Stop Protesters From Disrespecting the American Flag [+video]

Michelle Manhart saw a group of students at Valdosta State University in Georgia yesterday who were walking on the American flag in some sort of protest.

Manhart, an Air Force veteran of 14 years, couldn’t let that stand. She went over and took the flag from the group to properly dispose of it per the United States flag code. University police officers then placed Manhart in handcuffs and returned the flag to the protestors who put the flag back onto the ground and continued to walk on it . . .

Neither the group protesting or the officers decided to press charges against Manhart and after being cuffed and detained she was ultimately allowed to leave.

No one is quite sure what the group was protesting and none talked to local media except one anonymous protestor who talked to The Valdosta Times saying, “The flag is a symbol of our protest. When a slave understands his situation and understands he doesn’t want to be in slavery, he does not respect or revere anything his slavemaster [sic] has put in front of him.” (Read more from “Here’s the Horrible Thing That Happened to a Veteran After She Tried to Stop Protesters From Disrespecting the American Flag [+video]” HERE)
