VALDOSTA, Ga. — A Georgia veteran is speaking out after being handcuffed during a protest on Friday for trying to keep people from walking on the American flag.

It was all caught on video shot by Michelle Manhart’s daughter during a protest at Valdosta State University.

It happened after Manhart heard about the protest where demonstrators were walking on the flag. Manhart said she made several complaints to the university.

“They had thrown it on the ground, they were walking on it, kicking it, you know making different motions against the flag itself,” said Manhart, a former Playboy model.

But the protests didn’t stop, so Manhart decided to take matters into her own hands.

Manhart said she saw the flag, walked up, picked it up and walked away.

And that’s when things escalated between Manhart, the demonstrators and campus police.

Manhart said she got upset when police gave the flag back to the demonstrators.

“I got a little unprofessional and called him a not-very-nice name because I was extremely upset that he told me one thing and he did something completely different,” Manhart said.

Manhart was taken into custody, but wasn’t charged. The university has banned her from campus activities, but she said she doesn’t have any regrets.

“If I had to do it again I would,” the Air Force veteran said.

And the air force veteran says she will continue to honor and protect those who serve our country.

“Our men and women who don’t get to come home are wrapped in that,” she said referring to the flag. “It’s draped over their caskets during their funerals. Same with our police officers, our firefighters. Our American flag is our American symbol.”

So a pretty girl that is used to getting her way finds that stealing property is not ok. It doesn't matter if she disapproves of the the property owners actions. Sorry pretty girl, go buy and honor your own flag.

It is a funny thing for me because I like the honor and traditions of our flag, but I fully support the rights of those that want to burn it or walk on it or whatever.

Flag-worship is disgusting. Its her fault for trying to steal in order to protect her false religion.

To one hell of a lot of people, the flag represents the PRINCIPLES upon which this country was founded. NOT what the jackasses in our government over many years have done; and the people encouraged them to do by voting them into offices and then becoming apathetic.

So, if you want to burn something, go burn your own ass.

The average "Christian" in America gets more uptight about descecration of flag than blasphemy of God. I don't care if the flag means something to you or not. I have no intention of burning any flags. But you have absolutely no right to stop anyone else from doing so. America's "god" is itself, and its often proposed "blasphemy laws' are in protection of itself. Its ridiculous.

The only flag colors I find myself enjoying nowadays are black and yellow, not red, white, and blue.

I think destroying/burning flags isn't the best form of protest, but it's just a flag. For some, it represents the Government, while for others, they think it represents the values of the country.

It's unfortunate that the Government has given those colors such a bad name that people feel the need to destroy them.

A quick search shows some things she's alright with a flag being used for. She's covered, but I always was taught not to let a flag touch the ground.

An aging cunny seeking publicity. Sorry miss desperation, you're not 22 years old any more.

Look for her next on some "reality" show with other fading pigs.

I see you read how to influence people and make friends. I got no problem with people burning or walking on their own personal property probably made in China. If they try to burn my property or public property, then I have big problem with that. If you don't like what people are doing with their property, then telling them to burn their own ass is not going to get them to stop doing it. Maybe, telling them that America wasn't always corrupt and use to be a beacon of liberty for people around the world, instead of an imperial power that fights wars around the globe, would get them to stop burning their copy of the American flag.

Flag burning/desecrating is protected as symbolic speech, and rightfully so. The woman stepping in trying to take the flag was essentially a thief.

lol. And there you have it. Of course you realize this is one of the reasons why so many Americans chose to run as far from some of us, and who we supported, as they possibly could.

You ain't helping any candidate here get elected. Quite the contrary. Is that your goal?

Actually, it used to be very much against the law. It's interesting though, before joining this forum, the only people I ever saw who wanted to burn the flag were of the Marxist/Communist persuasion. Is that a coincidence or has this forum become a gathering spot for useful idiots?

A flag that is a symbol of an organic, genetically homogeneous, mono-cultural community can have deep meaning, symbolizing the blood and spirit of the nation. America on the other hand is a multi-ethnic multiracial, multicultural morass, barely fit to be called civilization. The US is not a nation, it is an crumbling empire, attempting to assimilate all kinds of actual nations into a pot, once called "melting", now clearly rotten and cracked.

"Reject your archaic traditions! Accept McDonald's and Wal Mart into your heart! Sports teams of 25 year-old multimillionaires will be your new tribal identities! Brand name identification will replace antiquated traditions carried down from the ages! Traditition is meaningless! The spiritual, ethnic and social health of a Nation doesn't exist! Not when there's a strip small every half mile! Love it or leave it!


If the flag ever had meaning, none now remains. I say let them all burn. The flag must die so the nation can live.

It's funny you say that because in most Marxist/Communist countries, it is against the law for their citizens to burn their country's flag. Ironic huh?

So you're a constitutionalist until your feelings are hurt by people exercising their right to desecrate the flag?

I guess what Joel McDurmon said is playing out in almost every instance: every country has its blasphemy laws. You can tell what a nation's god is by what it prohibits you from disrespecting.

My country in decline
It used to be so fine
Of thee I sing
Land where the slaves died
Of Indian genocide
From every mountainside
Let gluttony ring!

We used to hate the Jews
But have you heard the news?
Those Jews are white!
But now we have the blacks
And waves of wetbacks
Are we all high on crack?
O what a sight!

We had such industry
Foreigners in the factory
Worked with no hitch
But that went overseas
Bring back those jobs, please
Walmart has me on my knees
Payback's a bitch!

Agreed, comrade. Now say the pledge of allegiance to the flag property, as Francis Bellamy, the Christian socialist flag-salesman, envisioned it.
