Will the FBI ignore this grave threat to a Utah high school, too?
Police officers in Hurricane, Utah, said Thursday that an American flag was ripped from a flagpole, desecrated, slashed and replaced with something resembling the notorious black ISIS banner. Authorities also discovered a truncated message scrawled on a wall: “ISIS IS COMI[NG].”
An American flag was destroyed and replaced with an ISIS flag at a Utah high school

Officers in Hurricane, Utah, said Thursday that an American flag was ripped from a flagpole, desecrated, slashed and replaced with something resembling the notorious black ISIS banner. Authorities also discovered a truncated message scrawled on a wall: “ISIS IS COMI.”Police said that they referred the criminal act to the FBI, which concluded the incident was probably not connected to anyone in the terrorist group.Classes at Hurricane High School were held as scheduled Thursday and are expected to continue Friday, with police in the St. George suburb saying they are confident there is no danger to students or teachers.Ken Thompson, an officer with the Hurricane Police Department, told local media that a school resource officer would be on campus, as on a normal school day, with additional officers on site. It is unclear whether the extra measures were taken because of the incident alone or out of caution following a mass shooting in Parkland, Fla., where a gunman killed 17 people in a high school.
Authorities said the flag swap and ISIS tagging occurred sometime early Thursday morning, hours after the Florida killings.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.
The ISIS flag’s black background is supposed to represent the black banner believed to have been carried by Mohammed himself during his expeditions and battles, Christopher Anzalone told The Washington Post in 2014. The text in the white circle typically carries the message “Mohammad is the messenger of God,” said Anzalone, a Harvard fellow who closely studies militant Islamist groups.
Since the Islamic State’s lightning campaign across Iraq and Syria in 2014, the banner has flown on battlefields across the Middle East, Africa and the Philippines.
U.S.-backed Iraqi troops dislodged ISIS from its stronghold in Mosul last July, and militia groups expelled ISIS forces from their de facto capital in Raqqa later in the year with support from American warplanes and artillery.
The group has responded by decentralizing its operations, with a focus on inspiring localized attacks. “We are in your home,” one photo was captioned, allegedly depicting an alleged ISIS supporter outside New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and shared widely across Islamist militant networks.
In Hurricane, school district employees removed the graffiti and the ISIS flag. A new U.S. flag replaced it, police said — likely stopping at half-staff. Early Thursday morning, President Trump ordered flags lowered at all public buildings, military installations and embassies in honor of those killed at Parkland.

Deport them. Hungary has been leading the fightback against the pro-jihadi mafia of Europe.
They even expelled left/Liberal pro-jihadi ambassador http://bit.ly/2gh6A72
…for supporting the jihadi immigrants ! unheard of courage !
They are also working on anti-sore ohz legislation. He is a financial terrorist to many countries.
ALSO, Georgie Porgie “Sarrows” Soros is banned from his birth Nation!!! There ARE SOME real MEN in Europe still!!!
Theres non at utah university though or they would surely have not stood by while these muzrat loving scumbags tore the American flag to pieces,
PROSCRIBE ISLAM IN THE UK & USA!
Yes, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovenia : The Visigrad Four.
If it happened in Hurricane then it was probably one of the handful of leftists that live there. Shouldn’t be too hard to find him/her.
Despite the slobbering fools of the Washington post yet again looking stupid in a public place, this is a crime. Find who did it, then after a well publicized court case, toss them in jail for a year or so, to think about it.
They won’t of course. It’s all part of the gradual acceptance of Islam so that this becomes the norm. Too scared or ‘tolerant’ to take action now, becomes too late down the track. Unless of course there’s a sudden rush of patriotism, in which case it will literally be a clash of civilizations.
Sooner or later some muslim group is going to try forcing sharia on an entire community, there will be conflict. As violence is inherent to islam, it will not end well.
That is what you’d expect, given the nature of sharia and just how alien it is to anybody who has lived with what consider normal freedoms. However, we are witnessing the slow drip-drip of submission to the shrill Muslim insistence on having everything their way. They are still very much a minority overall and could be easily refused if the will to do so was there. I do fear that when the time comes that they are large enough in number to attempt to force their ways onto the whole population, the population will be too cowed to even consider fighting back by then. They have already said that they will ultimately use our own democracy against us and I have no doubt that they mean it.
Just as we’re seeing a similar “drip-drip submission” to shrill LGBT extremists who likewise demand everything be revolved entirely around them. With both them and Islamists I’m reminded of Winston Churchill’s words about when certain groups are minorities vs. when they become the majority.
I DOUBT SERIOUSLY that even the “entitlement” crews will go along with Shariah….AND! THAT LIKELY mens that the “Sand Doggies” will get eliminated….PERMANENTLY!
It appears you have the evidence in Michigan where they may soon have a muslim governor, and Minnesota where the governor said to American citizens “if you don’t like muslims-leave”, MANY other STATES like Texas where muslims are pushing out a Congressman ( Tom Harrison) because he rightfully commented that any religion should not be taught in public schools.
So the numbers are already here and implanted right up to our leaders in gov’t; Carson, Ellison, Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Grover Torquiest, etc……
What to do? We must amend the 200 year old constitution to reflect and PROTECT the majority of this country. Otherwise it will come down to the way the US solves everything; start shootin’. Just kidding.
The “Explanatory Memorandum” laid out by muslim brotherhood and its subsidiaries specifically states it’s purpose is to overthrow the US gov’t.
We start by outlawing the various organizations (starting in our schools-muslim student association, SJP and others), fix the dep’t of injustice and stop the force-feeding of mosques where residents don’t want them, monitor the mosques while still allowing them to “pray” there. As I mentioned in another comment: we should pay less attention to the dreamers, and more attention to the dream killers.
my list goes on but you get the point.
Overt: I am sure there are many others who feel the same as you and I.
If we “take back” our legislators (as Steven Seagal suggested)-we can begin to secure ourselves within our borders.
Didn’t we already have a Muslim President? How’d that work out?
They are gaining ground in our government, that is how they will implement their policy. I don’t think it will be a physical confrontation.
People need to get in involved in their local Republican Party because they are in the Demorat Party.
I couldn’t agree with you more. When I was growing up in the 50’s-60’s we often heard of the “fifth column” in reference of the Russians. It meant the silent takeover of America. Your statement describes this.
All that will happen, by postponing a confrontation with islam, is that it will be that much more violent when it happens, as it most assuredly will. The problem islam has, is that it is mostly talk, very little action where it counts, muslims can only succeed against soft civilian targets.
I take comfort from the fact that if the will to overcome the cult is present, a higher IQ will find ways to do so. It’s the will to take on the lefties that I find questionable.
The problem, I think, is that people who are on the “right” are thoughtful caring and insightful people, who have a fault in that they overthink a bit much, are willing to give benefit of the doubt too easily, and believe in the essential goodness of humanity.
NOT well for the “SAND DOGIES”!….There ARE other nicknames but I don’t use’em…too anatomically descriptive!
Lets hope they bring it on reall soon as we need a showdown with this cult of morons.
You are right, what is needed is a “show down” where muslims finally display what islam is all about.
They are already doing this in Europe.
So far only a few, I think, but the locals and the countries put up with it, when people say western europe is lost, it is because every year these “no go” zones get bigger, there are more of them, and absolutely nothing done to stop them, restore national order and control of what used to be sovereign territory.
Better yet, send them to a mudslime country….make them stay there for indoctrination by the mudslimes.
Are there no cameras operating at that school? Whats going on? Anyone caught doing that should just avoid jail and instead be given ‘special treatment.’
Somebody at that school knows who did it. Find out who it is and charge them with treason. Are there any muslim ‘refugees’ in Hurricane? If so, there might be a lead.
Most high schools have video surveillance everywhere.
There surely must be plenty of cctv cameras around a public building like that,
lf the authorities are saying they havent got any film then i would say that theyr liars!
PROSCRIBE ISLAM!
Well sit down all the suspects for a ham samich, the one who refuses did it
The LGBT “rainbow flag” is as much a declaration, statement and establishment of supremacism (and symbol of totalitarianism and tyranny) as the ISIS flag is. Do Hurricane schools permit the proselytization of the LGBT lifestyle in the same way as we’re seeing with this bending over backwards to Islamists?
Difference is, the LGBT community don’t want to convert the world. You may not agree with them, but they’re not killing random innocents worldwide in an attempt to get everyone to convert, nor do they kill each other on purely ideological grounds.
Actually, the killing part is practically the only difference. LGBT “leadership” does want to dominate and take over. And children are being increasingly sacrificed to them in a manner none too dissimilar to the way girls are being sacrificed on the altar of Islamic supremacism. No way can a society that goes either route survive.
well undoubtedly someone hasn’t ‘assimilated’ to our culture/country….
that better be S.Utah’s first red flag that maybe all those plane loads of ‘refugees’ that you’ve been inundated with in the past 6 years aren’t those benign poor struggling war ravaged ‘orphans’.. if you haven’t realized you’ve allowed a foreign army to encamp in your neighborhoods, no one can help you.
BLSTER, you’re SOOOOoooooo RIGHT ON! IF they’ve been submissive enough to take’em in, they DESERVE what they’re going to SOON get…7.62-54’s…5.56’s….223’s???? Breakfast, lunch & dinner!!!
Will the FBI ignore this grave threat to a Utah high school, too? Answer: yes.
FBI has too many ‘leads’ regarding “collusion” and “obstruction” to follow to actually do any real law enforcement or terror intervention.
L.K. RIGHT!!! They’re MUCH TOO BUSY looking for Trump’s last foray into a liaison with a Play Boy chick! You know…the IMPORTANT stuff!!
They are probably looking for the Playboy Playmate because she is hot.
Are there muslim zombies attending the school in conjunction with wets and other illegals, as well as islamic sympathizers?
Are these the “Utah values” Mitt is running on? Go away Romney….enough already. You lost. Move on.
I guess we’ve found another refugee resettlement area. Idaho. Utah. Just watch the news.
Sounds like a FF operation. Anyway, who is putting Moslems in white country and Somalies in Minnesota, of all places?
Utah ,that special place for Mitt.
Go through the school census, herd all students and their families with ME roots. These F-ers are taunting for now, but you’ll see that they’ll eventually stop F-ing around. We need to beat them to the punch. They just drew first blood, it should be the last of it. Round them up and deport them.
Are there muslim zombies attending said school, along with islamic sympathizers as well as wets and other illegals like them?
The little creep that did this destroyed school property and should be prosecuted.
School security cameras should help find him. And if he’s a Muslim, he should
also be charged with related hate crimes.
No no, ‘Hate Crimes’ can ONLY be committed by those ‘pagan’ Christian ‘unbelievers’!
It’s just that there have been so many Muslim hate crimes over the last
several years – most involving maiming and mass murder.
The Flag was to commerate Mutt Ramitupyour@$$ Senate race anouncement in Utah.
You don’t put up a flag to half staff, you raise it to the top, pause and then lower it to half staff.
OK MITT! What are you going to do about THAT (presuming you get selected and elected?)
The moral values of a person attracted to the evil of ISIS are abundantly clear. You stay on Satan’s channel, and as one of his mouthpieces, and you can spend eternity being punished with him. Eternal darkness and conscious torment, all for the love of spinning off the thoughts of your wicked mind now. With every comment you literally harden your heart that much more. If I were you I would cancel my internet for awhile, and pick up a Bible. You don’t know on what day you will die.
If the FBI cannot save us, we will do it ourselves and the pig farmers will be delighted.
rickyoo GO! That’s actually WHAT the D.S. WANTS…a Civil uprising…AND! What they foolishly THINK they’ll be able to control…I just PRAY to GOD that “We the People…”; awake, quickly enough to surprise the demonically inspired D.S. operatives!! Unfortunately “comfort & a FALSE sense of security handicaps MANY!!! BUT! Once the doors begin getting kicked in, HOPEFULLY THAT will do the trick! As you might have noted, I’m a bit cynical….
Is that YOU humping your goat on top of the White House ???
I hope you are joking.
It should be quite obvious by now if a Muslim commits an act of injury to non Muslims in the name of Islam, it is Islamic terrorism. It does not matter at all whether the perp is ‘connected’ to any terrorist organisation whatsoever.
With the FBI’s investigative elitist status being tarnished over the past few years and the local law enforcement departments evolving as they have they can probably do as good or better job.
Greetings!
It’s actually a “miracle” that the American Flag is still allowed at a public school. This patriotic symbol will go the way of the Pledge of Allegiance and Prayer in schools, I fear.
Regards
The FBI has become a joke. I feel sorry for the hard working agents that take their job seriously and investigate real crimes. The leadership is too busy investigating Trump and his followers to do any real investigations. The shooter in the Florida gay night club was on their radar, the couple that shot up the Christmas party in California was on their radar, the Vegas sniper and numerous others. This might just be a Fast & Furious scheme right here, instead of Mexico. They keep allowing these shootings to take place to advance a gun control agenda. I know it is hard to accept that our government would let this happen, but it has happened too many times to be a coincidence.
And now that liberal twerp, Romney, is making noise about running for Senate from Utah – and perhaps President again in 2020. He is part of the McCain, Murkowski, Snow, et al. RINO cabal…he’ll welcome the mudslimes with open arms…”we have to ‘help’ them become better people.”
Has anyone noticed? The obama-made NSA is supposed to be tracking this stuff, not the FBI. So just what ARE the NSA doing? Watching you and me on social media, making sure our comments get reported to FB Nazis.. lol
What kind of nutty Mormans run this school? Well the Mormans have a prophet so maybe the Mormans have some commonality with Islam?
There getting ready for Romney to take office, with the support of Russia.
Mormons have more in common w/muslums than they do Christians: their prophet for profit was a child molesting polygamist and their prophet for profit desired nothing less than to become a Second MuhamMAD.
First, the Principal of the school needs to be fired immediately, for failing to maintain control and discipline over the school. That is his first and foremost job. Second, all people involved need to be criminally charged for vandalism, trespass and every legitimate charge that applies. They need to have their status as minors removed and be tried as adults. Any noncitizens should be immediately deported. The local VFW chapter should be brought in to teach the teachers about what it means to be free. Any teachers with attitude should be terminated for being poor examples for students. etc.
Carpetbagger Willard “The Rat” Mittens Romney to the rescue! He will fix everything, that is, if he has time between Trump bashings. Utah, another lost state.
all the homes across the street have fences around them. The school has Nothing, parking lot. Big sign saying welcome, gun free! is what I see.
but the FBI will investigate graffiti on a mosque. Worthless SOBs
So now we will have copycat crimes by students who want the 15 minutes of fame that the bad crisis actor, Hogg, got. Wait until they hear that the anti gun Libtard Demorats are flying 4 crisis actor students all over the Country in private jets!
