In Mid-July, Vice President Dick Cheney came to Davenport, Iowa. A number of people organized a protest, and many of them had small flags on sticks, according to an article by The Progressive. The police protecting the VP consfiscated the small flags, to protect Cheney from the threat they clearly posed.
On occasion, Mr. Cheney wears small lapel pins with American flags shown on them. On the back lies the danger. Lapel pins are secured by a sharp, pointed object. Mr. Cheney should stop wearing these immediately. They could cause him serious harm.
More importantly though, he should stop hunting. Though he may not be aware of it, guns are actually more threatening to his well-being than flags are. They can even result in almost instantaneous death. As an unfortunate incident some time ago demonstrated, Mr. Cheney's aim is, sadly, deteriorating. It may no longer be safe for him to use guns.
Also deemed a threat was a photographer at the event.
