Of all the days to make this mistake

So your grandfather fought to give people the right to disrespect our country?

You're out of line with this one young man. Time to back up a bit.

And the answer to that question is a resounding YES. Nobody said you have to like the answer, but you should respect it.

Yet another derailed thread. I'm done.

he fought and we continue to fight and defend the constitution, like or not this falls within the 1st.
unforunatelly, this goes both ways.

[SKLOSS]

This comment goes against the very fabric that formed this country. You're ignorance of an "older" gentleman flying The US Flag upside down as an accident with the countrys latest supreme court rulings is only exceeded by your ignorance of assumption.

Look up what an upside down flag means and tell me if you think he did it on purpose. I think the flag should be flown upside down today because our country is in imminent danger.

i was wondering if anyone else knew what an upside down flag signified. the op obviously didn't doesn't. i was hoping his reason for stopping was to offer assistance not threaten an elderly man. to each his own, i guess.

He has been gone almost 13 years...but I feel safe in saying his comment would be a resounding yes.

He's not heavy, he's my brother.

Hey, DFA!

[huntman933]

I think it's awesome you stopped! Good job!!!!! If I was in a fire fight your the type I want standing next to me having my back!!! Thanks for your service! And for standing up for what's right,,,,,,,

[CM Sackett]

That was done on purpose. There is no mistake made with that IMO.

True that. I'm flying her in that same DISTRESS mode.

...yes, ON PURPOSE.

Reminds me of a thread earlier today that I didn't respond to. Flags on the graves at the cemetary, where they illuminated at night? Upside down, dark, rain, doesn't much matter.

You might want to think twice about offering a "beat down" on an old timer in his own home. He just might be a vet also, willing to defend his right to free speech.

I agree, and while I can't stand the thought of disrespecting the flag or burning it. You could easily get yourself killed knocking on someone's door and offering a beat down. Don't bring fists to a gun fight

[Horitexan]

Lol to OP - great story!

[*DW*]

I proudly served like alot of others here and have defended their right to free speech. I dont necessarily like it. But it is their right..
