US Flag laying in the road...
I was driving north on Santa Fe this morning at approx. 7AM when I encountered our flag lying in the middle of the road...traffic was stopped and NOT ONE PERSON made an attempt to pick that flag up! I stopped in the middle of traffic and leaned out and picked it up. I am so pissed with this country right now...we are dying and no one cares..fuckers!
No one truly comprehends what the flag stands for and it's purpose anymore. I'm utterly disgusted...

And only getting worse.
We salute you!
The symbolism is stunning. I think we're actually dead, not dying. It was called some time ago...
Kudos to you, op!

It's funny you posted this, RR. Yesterday I was delivering to a house up here in the hills and it shared a driveway with another home. At the edge of the drive to the other house was a flag that had fallen over on to the ground, it was wet and dirty from recent rains. It had obviously been there for some time.
I went to the home and told the owner, kind of a dirtbag-looking guy, that I just wanted to let him know his flag was in need of attention and that obviously no one would intentionally let it get into that shape so I was certain he simply didn't notice his flag had partially fallen to the ground. He pretended to be all shocked and surprised and went out to the drive and retrieved the flag. He knew that I knew he was a douche, though.

Perhaps the other motorists believed that the flag on the ground was another red, white, and blue flag, which is currently worthy of disdain by those of the "common sense" persuasion?
Good for you Ready Room. I am glad you were able to recover the flag without harm to you or your vehicle.
My story...
On 2 separate occasions in Sturgis, I have called out the band at the beer garden in the campground we frequent for their use of the flag (using to drape over their equipment as a cover at the end of the set).
On one of the occasions, I made/had one of the band members come out on the floor in front of the stage and formally fold the flag properly with me.
Wierdest part, I know there were quite a few vets in the crowd, yet I was the only one to say anything.
The band was apologetic, and several people from the crowd actually came up to me with positive comments after. Several in the crowd even stood for the folding.
Kind of like the Boston thread, I guess. Only takes one person to get others to act.*
Good on you OP, and best of luck in FL.
*ETA: It only takes one, but if no one is that ONE, there may likely be NONE.

Its only a flag, is American idol on yet.
Don't be stupid!!!!!
I use a flag to cover my gun storage cabinet. I'd prefer to have it hanging in front of, but right now it is mostly draped over the top. It never touches the ground though.
