I've only heard about this here on CP (and I guess CNN) but I think this is getting blown out of proportion a little.
First the flag was torn and buried. I agree Desecrated led me to believe someone went #2 all over and left it on the doorstep.
second, all this story is about is someone getting arrested for doing a crime. It's trespassing and vandalism. Someone called the cops to report a crime and the cops had to act on it.
The "criminals" will only get a little fine and/or a little community service if that.
If I had a sign painted up on my property and someone vandalized it, I would have probably called the cops too.
If this was the other way around, and Americans living in Canada, ripped and buried then switched someones flag I wonder what the reaction here would be.
