Old Glory strikes back.
In an apparent case of red, white and blue revenge, a Pakistani protester died yesterday after inhaling smoke from a burning American flag during an anti-US rally.
Abdullah Ismail succumbed at Mayo Hospital in Lahore a day after attending the fierce protest at the city’s Mall Road, where an estimated 10,000 people rallied.
Witnesses said Ismail had complained of feeling ill after breathing fumes from burning flags, Pakistan’s Express Tribune reported.

Must have been one of those cheap flags from China! Those synthetic material flags do contain toxins when burned. It must not have had a valid material safety sheet!
that will teach him, better late and never, one less hater, who’s next?
Karma.
Heh!
I think it is a death offense of apostasy or blasphemy or something to say a Muslim fulfilled a Hindu truism.
But funny!
See?
There’s no end to offenses they could find, if they came over to our interweb and took a gander.
I’m thinking we should send more flags
@Randy, #1:
You’ve got that right. Have you noticed the strong chemical stink coming off of many Chinese-made plastic and rubber goods lately? This is especially true of Chinese plastic and rubber products you find in hardware stores. The rumor is that they’re using highly toxic volatile solvents to recycle used automobile tires and other discarded consumer goods into new material. The cheap industrial processes used are dangerous and wouldn’t be allowed here.
