Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10 says it's just fine...
§ 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor. (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. |

Quoted: should be flying this if that's how he feels http://www.uscivilflags.org/images/CopperCivilflag_2.jpg I actually like this flag. |

Quoted:
I see what he is going for but there is no way I would fly it like that in my yard My vote is for inappropriate The country is under attack and in distress, but it just doesn't seem right to me. The Don't Tread on me flag conveys that message just fine. |

Quoted:
I think we can get too carried away with the Boy Scout flag rules sometimes, this is a powerful message that an american is furious and discouraged with the state of the nation. I admit I wouldn't do it but who knows what his situation is like. They are not "Boy Scout flag rules".

Hanging the flag upside down is not disrespectful it is a distress signal. It's a flag people. A symbol. Not a deity, not living thing...a flag. |

I wonder if he could articulate what his "Distress" is. Other than, "Like, the economy and stuff! And O-Bummer, get it? Get it? Haw!" Yeah, what an ignorant redneck. I bet he's clinging to his guns and religion and shit too. Fuck that guy. Thank you for articulating ignorance far better than I ever could. |
