Burning The Latvian Flag

Or Trying to. Too much alcohol I suspect.

This video was in Diena.lv this morning and in the space of a few minutes I watched the comments climb from 12 to 43. Now about six hours later it has 304 views and 170 comments. If nothing else it is a pretty good example of why you shouldn't post yourself to the Internet while doing stupid things with your ugly face hanging out there for all to see.

The best comment that I came across this morning when the count was still at a manageable 43 was something to the effect that Russia would not even take these malcontents back as from a Russians perspective they are Latvians regardless what they personally think. I have first hand knowledge of ethnic Russian Latvians being put in their place when they hit Moscow.

So better get used to it little dudes and dudess's, whether you like it or not, whether you feel accepted or not, you really are Latvian and a citizen of the EU. Might just as well get used to it.

UPDATE: Portal Diena.lv sending material through the Security Police, which promises within its jurisdiction to make an initial check on this video. 

(Post updated with the last paragraph) 

Now at 38,715 views and 377 comments. It will be hard for the Security Police to ignore.

UPDATE: Of course Apollo.lv has picked up this, go here. Respect to Christine for uploading the original video. This is the last I'll post on this event but feel free to follow it yourself.
