The Greatest Play In Baseball - Rick Monday Saves U.S. Flag Video
On April 25, 1976 at Dodger Stadium, Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs, grabbed and secured the American flag from two individuals as they were attempting to burn our flag in the middle of the playing field. It was an outstanding display of American Patriotism. Due to the numerous references to 'allah' and insistence that their chairs be faced in a certain direction while being questioned, the two, a father and his son, were described to be muslims by several security personnel including an off duty police officer in attendance at the game who went down to the security room soon after the incident. Others claim that the two, William Errol Thomas and his brother, later corrected to be Thomas and his 11 year old son (not identified due to his age) were war protesters. Others claimed Thomas escaped from a mental institution, others said that his wife was being held illegally and against her will in a mental institution and various other claims. Regardless, it's probably safe to say that what they attempted to do was a disgrace to our American Flag and every American citizen. Aside from public ridicule, Thomas incurred minimal legal actions for his actions. He was fined $60 for trespassing and placed on probation for a year. No formal charges were filed against his 11 year old son who was treated as a juvenile offender. Something that was also confusing was obtaining the flag burner's real name. Security personnel at the stadium said that his name was William Errol Morris. However, the police report and court records all list him as William Errol Thomas, Aka William Errol Morris (Criminal courts building record Case# 31-543367 Thomas, William Errol, Jr. Violation Sec. 602, P.C. one year probation and ordered not to enter Dodger Stadium during probationary period.) His attorney in the public-defender's office said that Thomas was American Indian, a transient living out of the back of his car. DMV yielded no information nor did the registrar of voters or Veterans Administration. The Bureau of Indian Affairs in Phoenix had no information nor were there any military records.
Are you an elitist? ...
Are you an elitist? Do you have a problem with people from impoverished backgrounds going to university by using loans because they didn't inherit wealth like you did or because our parents don't have a high paying income? You truly are scum aren't you? Me being prejudice? Read what I typed earlier and see if it rings true. Are you or are you not white? Are you or are you not? middle class? Did, or did you not make fun at my discrimination? All I did was write the truth.
" You sit there ...
" You sit there with no concept of what it takes to make it in this world." Once again, from council estate to Liverpool university, I have propelled myself from a state of destitution to one of enlightenment, and do you honestly? think my hard working streak is over? Not by a long shot my pompous friend, not by a long shot. "Probably your rent and food as well." There's no need for the word 'probably' I already told you before I use student loans which I will have to pay back.
Seems the only ...
Seems the only prejudice here is coming from you. Cocooned in my wealth, ha, you speak from ignorance. That speaks much towards your education. Which brings right back to the beginning, you are nothing, you will always be nothing. You are an ass, son. You sit there with no concept of what it takes to make it in this world. Worked for everything, what have you worked for, your tuition is paid for by the tax payers. Probably your rent and food as well. Your? a parasite, a blood sucker, a waste.
Well would you look ...
Well would you look at that, a middle class white person cocooned in a womb of their own wealth and stupidity that they're oblivious to social and ethnic discrimination that they think is an amusing subject, what are the odds? Called me a name? This is youtube, I'm not explaining my past injustices to some right wing prick who has no valid argument. "he only has a masters" Yeah, as if I'm going to stop there, moron. At least I've worked for everything and will pay? back what I owe.
Ah, so finally it ...
Ah, so finally it comes, the I'm a victim cry. Oh you poor pathetic little baby, you were a victim of "racial abuse", did someone call you a name? Tsk tsk. I have to admit, I was wrong, you are not an ass. You are a whimpering, crying, pathetic ass.?
Oh, and a word of advice, skip the masters, and go straight for the doctorate. No matter what you do in the world of academia, good or bad, it will always be accompanied by, "he only has a masters". That's prejudice.
i mean? if this ...
i mean? if this would happen to our flag
"Loans, dole, it's ...
"Loans, dole, it's still sucking on the governments tit." How else am I supposed to pay for it? I come from a poor background and frankly I don't care what you think about my personal achievements. From living on an estate and suffering racial abuse to now studying at a? prestigious university and accomplishing my dream as a scientist, I'd say I've done pretty well for my self. "you will always be an ass." Correction, I will always be a successful ass.
First year, last ...
First year, last year, in? twenty years it'll all be the same, been there done that.
Well thank God your ...
Well thank God your not ethnically British, I would hate? to share a common heritage with you. Going to work at the University, well as they say, those who can do, those who can't teach. Loans, dole, it's still sucking on the governments tit. And no matter what, my original statement still holds true, you are an ass, you will always be an ass. That is more than evident.
s**t, re-read my ...
s**t, re-read my comment, I meant to put my? FIRST year for my masters degree.
" living off of the ...
" living off of the dole." Actually I live off student loans which I will have to pay back once I am in a stable career. "You and your kind are destroying what was a great nation." Yes, me and other scientists (Incase? you didn't notice my final year for my masters degree in biochemistry is almost over and I'll work at my university. What on earth made you think I was living on the 'dole'? You idiot. "You have betrayed your heritage." I'm not ethnically British (English, Scottish, Welsh).
How do you ...
How do you contribute, you are a student, living off of the dole. Sucking at the government tit. You? and your kind are destroying what was a great nation. Pathetic, shouldn't you be doing homework now, not wasting time on you tube? You shame your self, and your nation. You are pathetic, and an insult to all those who stood up when Britain was down. You have betrayed your heritage. Go back to mommy little boy. You have no place in the adult world.
GOD BLESS THE ...
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!?
Aw, junior got up ...
Aw, junior got up today, and he's just full of energy. He didn't even cuss at me. What a big boy. Guess you can do wonders with a fresh diaper, and a belly full of mommy milk. You go big fella, now run along, us adults gotta go to work and make a living to keep an ass? like you well fed. Have a good day son.
"You are nothing, ...
"You are nothing, you contribute nothing." You don't know anything about? me, I'm currently studying biochemistry at Liverpool university, so how is that 'not contributing?' I contribute more than you flag waving bumbaclart's. Again, you are a weakling, you've abandoned any hope at winning this argument and since I have hurt your feeling because I don't share the same emotional sentiment over a f**king rag, you're all in a rage. It's quite sweet really.
xxx
Temper, temper, ...
Temper, temper, what's wrong lad? Have I hurt your flags 'feelings'? LOL! I love it when I hit a nerve. The last attempt of the weak is to always abandon their flawed argument and throw crap insults 'mommy'???? Please, this is child's play. I see whatever 'logic' you had to begin with has dissolved. You're such a weakling, it's almost sickening. Now do you have any logic for your argument?
Don't you mean it ...
Don't you mean it was their meaningless piece of cloth, so what do they have to get wound up about? It was just a piece of cloth, nothing important. Your a nihilistic ass, you always will be. You are nothing, you contribute nothing. And when you finally pass from this life, your? net value will have been nothing. You are a zero, a place holder with no value. You are pathetic, and if you weren't such an ass, I might actually feel pity for you.
Your not emotional? ...
Your not emotional? Sure sounds that way, maybe you should have Mommy make you some hot cocoa, put it on your coaster and relax. Your an ass, but don't let that get you all wound up. Maybe you can grow out of it. In the mean time, us grown ups will take care of things around here. O.K.? Now go on little fella, just sip your? cocoa, and let your mommy tuck you in.
Are you so f**king ...
Are you so f**king stupid that you can't see that by burning a flag you don't harm those? ideals. A flag can mean a lot of things, but that doesn't mean you should get all emotional about it, I'm not emotional about my bed sheets or my coaster, you want to know why? Because they're inanimate f**king objects. Oh wait! My coaster actually represents something my coaster stand for chocolate and justice, if you even think about burning my coaster then you're going to be in big trouble.
You? complete idiot ...
You? complete idiot, why save an object when it only represents something? You're so primitive that you honestly believe that by saving the flag you ergo protect the ideals it represents, when you clearly don't. Look at the video for what it is, these two men bought a flag and it was in their right as the owners of that flag to burn it, and then some prick steals it from them, it's not your flag they were burning, it was THEIR flag.
Having heard? some ...
Having heard? some of Lasorda's rants on Youtube, I'd love to know what he "told" those guys...LMAO!!!
It's a sad day when ...
It's a sad day when an ass such as your self is incapable of understanding the difference between making a sacrifice? for an idea, a concept, an intangible thing, that is represented by an object, and actually making a sacrifice for an object. Are you really so self absorbed that you don't see that it is the nation for which men have made these sacrifices, not really the flag. Do you think those to clowns were trying to burn the flag, or attack an idea? As I said, your an ass.
They are trying to ...
They are trying to burn it because they know that they will get a reaction and that their actions will get them publicity, that's why. It's not? hard when you think about it, that's why celebrities post random crap that they don't actually believe in, not because they believe in it but because it will get them publicity and get them back in the public eye. It's clear that these men had motives and they wanted to be heard, what better way to do that then burn a flag?
Critical thinking ...
Critical thinking exercise for you: If it's? "only a flag", why are they trying to burn it? They are burning it because it represents something significant for them as well. They are burning it for the EXACT SAME reason Rick Monday is saving it. If it was "only a piece of cloth", nobody would bother burning it.
If a coaster ...
If a coaster represented all these things,? would you try and save that coaster? It sounds a little silly when I replace the intended item for protection doesn't it? I don't expect to get any thumbs up on this page, it's just full of 'patriots.'
I don't have any ...
I don't have any national pride, I don't believe in patriotism, I think it is an archaic concept of "my country is better than yours because I? was born here" or "This flag REPRESENTS my people and my ideals and although you're only burning a cloth I'm going to try and kill you because that bit of cloth REPRESENTS the things that I love, even though you make no attempt to hurt those people and those ideals I actually care for."
It's a sad day when ...
It's a sad day when humanity cry over a piece of coloured cloth. Guess what you moron, in a thousand years humans will have evolved beyond the need to look at a cloth in such a way that they feel they? need to risk their lives for it.
If you really knew ...
If you really knew what a flag could stand for, for the people who love the country it stands for... if you had any national? pride or love for the country of your origin, you would not in all good conscience say that.
And your only an ...
And your only an ass, and in a thousand years it will still be? flying, and guess what? You'll still be an ass.
Those? kinds of ...
Those? kinds of remarks are very unnecessary.
