This is bullshit. I get that here in America, people are paranoid about other countries for some weird reason. But why in the world would a pub be not allowed to fly an Irish flag?! It's not a threat! To make matters worse, the cops stopped them from flying it, and the owners of the pub are distraught.

I don't understand why, in America, showing pride in a country other than the US is somehow a crime. It's disgusting. I wish I could do something for them, but I can't. No one should be made to feel that their national pride is illegal. Americans put way too much importance on their flag and not enough on accepting anyone else's culture. It's disgusting.
