mstranglr 9 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 If there ever was a time to put out the distress call, it is now. I am flying the Gadsden in front of my house right now. Regardless of how you feel about the upside down flag, these cops did violate the man's first ammendment rights. Maybe he is one of those "terrorist returning vets" that the Obama administration has warned us about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
superA 289 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Good point Desert Dog. It was wrong regardless of how they took the meaning of the upside down flag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AZ Gun Nut 8 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I flew my flag upside down during the aftermath of the 2000 Pesidential Election when Al Gore put the whole country in distress. I use Flag stamps on my mail and since Nov. 4, 2008, I have started putting them on upside down again. I in no way mean any did-respect, only to show that we are in distress. That Vet was probably trying to copy the Vet that cut down the American Flag that was being flown UNDER the Mexican Flag at Mexican grocery store, if I am not mistaken. Now THAT was DIS-prespect. Of course, not knowing what was going through the man's mind, that is pure conjecture on my part. The Police were, IMHO, way off base. I will await further input from others on the forum, because I am not exactly sure of the laws involved here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 But if it was some asswipe commie/liberal SOB, who was burning it in protest of something, they'd stand aside and applaud his asserting his Right to Free Speech. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
