Thursday evening, I had noticed that many of OCC's Facebook page "Recommendations" section posts were largely negative, some berating the OCC staff for "flag desecration", referencing the incident which occurred on the 26 November episode. Others referenced Jason Pohl's confrontation of Junior, and demanded his firing.
This morning, there was no "Recommendations" section on the OCC Facebook page.
I remember a time during school (a long, long, time ago) in the 1960's, when we were learning about Communism, and "Purges". Their history books, and periodicals would show a photo of a group of "comrades" in one issue, then something would happen, and one or more of the subjects in the photo would magically disappear in a subsequent issue.
No, I'm not saying that Senior is a Communist. What I am saying is that they received tons of negative feedback regarding the behavior of their staff; specifically Jason.
They aren't going to be on television for too long, so whether Pohl is still gainfully employed there has no bearing on my thinking. However, I would have thought that Senior was wise enough to have realized what an ass Pohl is, and moved to "cut his losses" some time ago.
Again, another episode of "The Emperor Wears No Clothes"????
I think the recommendations thing was more about the show, and now that it is gone, it does not matter what people suggest seeing.
I am sure they are not the first or last bikers that might do something to desecrate a flag, even if its unintentional falling off a bike or getting caught up in a tire.
I am sure some of the workers might leave when the cameras leave, but some will probably be a bunch more comfortable and end up doing better work now.
So what if they're not the first it was terrible.

To be honest if it was my facebook page I would remove recommendations too. Especially for OCC people look for anything that they can pick apart and be negative about to piss and moan.
At one point during the 26 November "Impasse" episode, they demonstrated the "hurricane force" of an exterior Big Ass Fans system, with the assistance of the local fire department, by activating the fan, and flowing water from an 1 3/4-inch "attack line" towards a small mock up of a house, which bore the American Flag, flying from the rear of the building.
The fan, by itself did not knock the entire structure over, however, the combination of the water spraying into the intake of the fan, and the force of the subsequent "jetblast" served to knock the rear of the building, and the flag to the round while OCC's staff laughed in "mock amazement".
It was in totally poor taste, and veteran's groups, among others, are in an uproar.
