The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Man steals UT flag. Owner chases, stabs him and retrieves flag. Police arrest thief only.
http://kxan.com/2015/09/03/man-charged-in-travis-county-after-stealing-longhorns-flag/
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) – A man is behind bars after, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office says, he stole a University of Texas flag from a home then attacked the homeowner who chased him to get it back.
TCSO responded to the house at 524 Tudor House Road around 9:10 a.m. Thursday for a robbery call. The homeowner told deputies he heard noises outside the house around 9 a.m. When he looked out the window he saw two men in his driveway.
According to the homeowner, when he heard the men moving his garage door, he went outside to confront them. He found one of them holding his large UT flag, which was attached to a six foot flagpole. When he yelled at the men, they took off, with the flag.
The homeowner chased the men. When he got close, Emilio Castaneda-Cisneros, 18, swung the flagpole and hit the homeowner several times.
The homeowner told deputies he pulled a pocket knife and stabbed Castaneda-Cisneros once in the side and took the flag back. The men then got into a truck and drove off.
A man outside mowing his lawn at the time saw the incident unfold and told deputies what he saw. They later found a vehicle matching the description and found Castaneda-Cisneros with injuries matching what the homeowner described.
Castaneda-Cisneros is charged with Robbery by Assault, a second degree felony. He is currently being held in the Travis County Jail on a $20,000 bond. He was treated for his injury beforehand.

Story stinks and a complete fabrication. For starters, the man pulled a knife on him? Sounds like a UK story not the US. Where was the regulation Texas issued AR? As no guns were involved, I highly doubt the truth of the mater

Probably the householder was carrying a flamethrower and realised he could not use it without the danger of setting fire to his flag.

‘Dead body’ found floating in Manchester canal turns out to be a duvet full of coconuts
We know what it was, but we still have no idea why…
Michael Moran
A grisly discovery in Manchester’s Bridgewater Canal turned out to be not so grisly after all. Just really, really weird.
A man walking by the canal on Sunday spotted what looked like a dead body wrapped in cloth floating in the water. Being a responsible citizen he hauled the bundle onto dry land and then called the police.
He told them that he thought that it could be the corpse of a large animal because it was ‘leaking white fluid’ that had a strong smell.
Upon investigation by Greater Manchester Police the ‘corpse’ turned out to be a duvet filled with coconuts.
One mystery solved. But a whole new one begins. Who on Earth would fill a duvet with coconuts? And having done so, why would they dump it into a canal?
