March 31, 200620 yr Mexican flag flies over Chasewood North in Jupiter . . . at least for now KIT BRADSHAW kit.bradshaw@scripps.com Sometime Saturday night, according to Chasewood North Community Board member Sue Miller, someone put a Mexican flag, like the one above left, on the complex's flagpole. Residents of the Central Boulevard complex were surprised by weekend switch. The Stars and Stripes have been replaced by the Mexican flag at Chasewood North, and residents of the condominium community off Central Boulevard are puzzled as to who made the switch. "I woke up Sunday morning and looked up from my patio and then realized that the American flag wasn't on the flagpole," said Sue Miller a Chasewood North board member. "What captured my attention were the colors ? at first I thought it was an Italian flag, but one of our residents said it was the Mexican flag. "I went to the flagpole, to see if the American flag was maybe on the ground, but they took it, and they cut the rope to get the American flag down and the Mexican flag up as well." A best estimate of when the switch took place is Saturday night. Chasewood South, which also has a flagpole at its entrance was untouched; its American flag was still flying from its 20-foot flagpole. At the present time, Congress is in the midst of a debate about immigration, seeking to radically change the immigration laws, perhaps by allowing the approximately 11 million illegal immigrants in the country to have a path to citizenship. But Miller said she can't figure out why this national debate would result in the American flag being stolen and replaced by a Mexican flag in Chasewood North. "I'm flabbergasted that someone would do this, and I'm wondering why here," Miller said. "We have some Hispanic residents here, but not a large Hispanic population, and I'm curious if this occurred anywhere else in town." It may be several weeks before the Stars and Stripes once again fly over Chasewood North, according to Miller, who at one time was the resident manager of the complex. "We tried to get the flag down but couldn't, so we need to hire a company with a boom truck to get up there and replace the rope and put up the American flag," she said. "I would guesstimate that this would cost $500 or more to do."
March 31, 200620 yr I bet some white guy did this to dredge up anti-Mexican sentiment. Anyway, I hate the dirty Mexicans. :thumbup

What an idiot. to me he's an idiot because it sounds like this is what he was saying: "at first i thought it was an italian flag and i was ok with that but then i got pissed off when i found out it was the mexican flag." Who ever did that is a fu*king idiot. They should put up an even bigger American flag now. damn that, lets just invade mexico and kill them all!! :plain

March 31, 200620 yr no invading mexico, it would raise unemployment and lower the poverty line even more. Besides they dont have enough natural rescources to make it profitable for the major cooperations. On the bright side it would most likely remove NAFTA

April 2, 200620 yr If this person is so proud of his Mexican heritage and such, why is he in the US? How many other ethnicities can we say this about? Italians? Irish? People who fly the confederate flag?

I don't want everyone to own guns and ammo, I just don't like people who don't appreciate this country. If you are more proud of another nation or heritage, get the f*** out of here :thumbup

Call it an educated guess; I'm not going to go hang a random Argentinian flag any time soon. I'd call it a pretty educated guess to believe that it would be someone with a Mexican heritage that raised a Mexican flag.

If you are more proud of another nation or heritage, get the f*** out of here :thumbup What the f*** kinda comments are these...look, I appreciate this country and what it has to offer, but that's not going to make me any less proud of being Italian, and I won't take my italian flag down from my house. I accept and respect American culture and heritage, but living here and working here does not automatically force me to wipe clean my own culture and heritage...what f***ing pretentious SoB's would expect someone to do that?

No where in the tenets of citizenship does it require any part of American culture to be adopted.
