   Val Prieto, a Cuban immigrants, says:

     What I will never accept, however, is the undignified treatment of
     a symbol of the United States of America under the caveat that as a
     "latino" or "hispanic" it is done on my behalf. While this country
     may not be perfect, it offered me refuge and the freedom to be me
     and I take great umbrage when an American flag is desecrated
     supposedly in my name. That's my flag that was being burned. That's
     my flag that was being hung upside-down and below the flag of
     another nation on my own soil.

     And if disrespecting my American flag wasn't enough, many of these
     protesters are proudly donning the image of the Butcher of La
     Cabaña himself, none other than che guevara:

   Has has further [1]sharp words for recent Mexican protests.
