Salem is a very red area.

SALEM, Ohio (WKBN) — A Salem mother said she’s been the victim of vandalism for standing up for her children.

Last week, several Salem mothers pushed for mask mandates in Salem Schools after an 8-year-old was hospitalized with COVID-19.

Bekka Russell is one of those mothers. Over the weekend, she said someone set her American flag on fire in her front yard.

She believes it’s retaliation for speaking in favor of mask mandates in schools.

All that’s left of Old Glory is the charred flagpole and burned pieces on the ground.

“Called the police right away when he noticed the flag had been burned right on the pole. Across our street there were two flags that are intact, so clearly we were targeted. We’ve always felt targeted. This is just an outward sign of the internal symbols that we’ve noticed over the years,” Russell said.

1. It could've been the mask mandate

But then she said she has felt targeted for years. It could be other things that have caused it. She doesn’t deserve any harassment but it seems to be more then the mask mandate she wants.

3. In that area you could very well be targeted

If you so much as put a Biden sign on your lawn. They know a Democrat lives there.

Sad, sad, state of affairs.

2. Ah, hypocrisy.

Them: How dare you traitors burn a flag! 'Murika!

Them: *burn the flag of someone they don't like*

Useless trash will be useless trash. Might as well stop flying the stupid jingoistic flag anyway, unless she wants to put a game cam on it and set up the MAGAt for a criminal charge.
