Internet butthurt

Andy11M sends us a link to a story about Vanessa Hicks who is a veteran and a photographer who took this picture of her 8-day old baby and her husband. When she posted it, the internet lost it’s shit;

On one Facebook page an unidentified poster put up her picture writing and wrote they found it was “disrespectful, rude, tacky, disgusting, and against the U.S. Flag Code.”

[…]

“I have seen first-hand what is desecration of the flag,” Hicks said of her time in the military. “At the end of the day I didn’t do anything that disrespected this flag.”

Hicks, whose husband is still on active duty in the Navy, said the flag is a symbol of U.S. freedoms including the First Amendment right to free speech.

From USAToday;

“Not only the photo, but the service member that was in the photo – saying he should be reprimanded; he should be kicked out; he’s dishonoring the uniform,” Hicks continued.

I’ll admit that it’s a little corny, but, it’s certainly not disrespect for the flag. There’s enough real disrespect out there to the flag, the country, the constitution, but this ain’t it. I just saw Ms. Hicks on Fox & Friends and I don’t think she meant it the way that the internet police think she meant it.
