A group of fraternity brothers bravely stepped up to protect an American Flag that flies on the UNC campus on Tuesday; pro-Palestinian protesters were trying to destroy it.
One of the fraternity brothers shared the experience on X.
“My fraternity brother and others ran over to hold it up, in order for it not to touch the ground. People began throwing water bottles at us, rocks, sticks, calling us profane names. We stood for an hour defending the flag so many fight to protect,” said Guillermo Estrada.
but it upset me that my country's flag was disrespected in order to advocate for another.
Shortly after, Chancellor Roberts came with police officers to hang the flag once again. They were met with profanity, middle fingers, thrown bottles, rocks, and water.

UNC Chancellor Roberts spoke to the press about the importance of the American Flag.
“This university doesn’t belong to a small group of protesters. It belongs to every citizen of North Carolina. The flag represents all of us.”
UNC chancellor Lee Roberts faces off with screeching harpies after restoring the American flag above the campus:
