I got jumped in Italy couple of weeks ago. I was wearing a "volleyball dad" hoodie my kid bought for me but did not realize that the "volleyball dad" is etched in the middle of a large American flag covering my entire back. Luckily (for him, not me :) ) three police officers were 10 meters away walking the area dealing with apre ski drunks and restrained him. fun times

Crazy does and crazy do. Be vigilant and try not to set these people off. There's no rhyme or reason, some people are just faulty in the head.

Sorry that happened to you, Italy has not been a safe place for tourists long before this administration.

What did the attackers say to you that told their intention was to harm you for having an American flag?

oof I would not wear an American flag outside the country. We've hurt too many feelings. Like any good American though, a Canadian flag works.

I find avoiding legible and most "graphic" clothing, period, works great.

Plus it usually looks better.

Not sure why you need any flag on you.

Please don't do this.

didn’t even know I was wearing it (honestly never even noticed anything other that “volleyball dad”) but rest assured I wore it every day for the rest of the trip

yes, this is exactly the kind of story one would be dreaming up to share, I think if one was to make up a non-existent story one would come up with a lot more "interesting" one that this one :)
