Upside down flag flying..
Endlss
Member Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭✭
Just drove one of the kids friends home and noticed a "messican" family the next road over has a flag flying upside down.[:(!]
Funny, they just moved in and I know the previous owner never had it that way. The past owner told another neighbor that a landscaping company bought the house. I guess these guys work for the company.
Since they are disrespecting my flag wouldn't it be just for me to direspect their ownership of said flag.[}:)]
I think they need help.[:0]
The word of the day is "clandestine" boys and girls.. say it with me[:D]
Why ?, because they have more rights to direspect our country than I have to respect it.[:(]
Dear God, Who art in Heaven, Please watch over Endlss tonight as he will proballly spend the night with the po-po.
ps.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury I respectfully decline to answer, these questions and allegations brought forth today, on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.

Just go get a messican flag, wipe butt with said flag and fly upsidedown tomorrow.
I second this thought...and please take our flag back. May God grant you safe passage.
Go do us justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The State of Maryland prohibits anyone from mutilating, defacing or showing contempt for the U.S. flag or the Maryland state flag. The law also forbids the use of such flags for advertising or publicity purposes. [Md. Code Ann. Art. 38A Sec. 44 and Art. 41 Sec. 4-1003]
quote;
Maryland, for one, retains one of the nation's strictest flag desecration laws. That law criminalizes the mutilation or alteration of any national or state flag especially if such action is intended or causes "an imminent breach of the peace."
After a couple more Millers, and the wife and kids are sleepy-sleepy.... Imma get that sumb'tch.
Call the cops, show them a copy of Maryland's flag laws and demand that they enforce it. Wouldn't want to see you get into legal troubles.
Burn em out!
I understand the level of emotion, I 'm there too; However, there are some things that you just should not say. That's one of them.
Did they do it again? Once. Sooooooo, I did it again, same as before.
Guess what, those pinko commies never did it again that I know of. I moved a few years later, but EVERY day I drove by there and after that never ONCE did those pinko's try that nonsense again.
Actually, I have no idea if they were commies or not. Their national persuation is of no consequence to me. My dad drilled it into my head as a very small child that only pinko's are capable of that kind of sacrilege, so to this day the word is stuck in my brain. Besides, what does it matter? Regardless, they were dissin' our flag and I just thought they needed to see that not only do real americans notice, but they dam well DO something about it too!

flying the flag upside down is a sign of distress,,,,,this nation is in about as much distress as it can stand right now,,I know I will get flamed for this but if/when they give amnesty to all the illegals I am going to fly mine upside down and dont care what anybody says about it.
Well I have to tell you something, I know a few good men that have died for this country. You have totally lost my respect by doing such an act.
Myself..I find myself FAR more indignant over 'leaders' disrespecting the CONSTITUTION..then individuals flying the flag wrong...
Takes a lot of courage to cry 'Foul' at 'Leaders', however...
Is it to disrespect the nation, or to voice the fact they think it is in dire distress..
Clearly the students that raised the mexican flag about the upside down american flag were doing so in a disrespectful manner.
You can see some pictures of a mexican(by descent) draped with an american flag being yelled at and harrassed by other mexicans flying mexican flags. Not all mexicans are in favor of illegal immigration, some tried really hard to get here legally(or their family has been here since before 1850, and they are true natives), and are upset at the total lack of consequences towards the illegals. Granted those people are in a very small minority.
I would ascertain why they are flying their flag uside down and what message they are trying to convey before taking any direct action.
As to those students with the american flag upside down below the mexican one, I still firmly beleive they should be tried as traitors and face a military firing squad.

It is also in the laws dealing with the treatment of the flag that no flag will be flown over or higher than the U.S. flag within our boarders. That is why state flags and such are always below or on a shorter pole next to the Stars and Stripes. I am sure my wording of the laws pertaining to this are not exact but it can be looked up as to the proper displaying of the flag
why do folk wish to disrespect there new [place, when the locals had the descency to let them in..or why do they go some where they are not comfertable or happy with ??
We can scream and holler about the guy down the street...all the time supporting those that actually ARE damaging the country.

I too thought it was a sign of distress (I recall an episode of Black Sheep Squadron their base was over taken by the Japanese) in this case over taken by illegals. Now if they were flying the flag back wards (with the field of blue on the tail end) then I might see "disrespecting" the flag is in order. Try that with a Japanese flag it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
Public Law 829 (77th Congress) Sec. 4(a) :
"The flag should never be displayed with the union down
SAVE AS A SIGNAL OF DIRE DISTRESS"
Apparently it is fully legal to do so also.
If inverting every American flag on the planet is what it takes to wake up the sheeple....then so be it.
Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership supports it:

Then so do I.
Flying the flag upside down is not disrespecting America in my opinion. It means someone is using their freedom of speech to show they think the country is in distress. In the old days of shipping ships at sea would invert their flag if they were in distress...Which is where this comes from.

Actually after thinking about it: What needs to be found out is why they are flying it like that. If these "messicans" are immigrants (legal or illegal) and they are making the statement of the immigration thing then they do not have the right to display it like that. My money lies on that they are illegals makeing a statement about wanting amnesty. In which case I'd get really PO'd.
1. Flying the flag upside down is a sign of dire distress (this has been stated alread).
2. Saying that, call the cops and report that there is something terribly wrong at that house, and that the people inside have been calling for help. You're not lying, you're telling the 100% truth.
Let the LEOs take it from there.

I saw that episode of Black Sheep. I couldn't believe that Sulu from Star Trek was really a Japanese officer! In his autobiography, Sulu claimed he was a loyal American held prisoner by Franklin Roosevelt in a detention camp in Colorado during WWII.
In the show, the Black Sheep hung the Marine Corps. flag upside down, which is an international symbol that warns the Navy guys to stay away from the showers until the party is over.
If I were close, you'd have company...[;)]
Its more likely that they're just plain disrespecting the flag. Kind of like turning the cross upside down.
1, They are legal Messicans that want to signal that their country that they love in in trouble.
2, They are illegal Messicans that are insulting our Flag.
3, They are dumb Messicans legal or illegal and don't realize they are flying the Flag upside down. (Messicans can't do anything right, they even have to refry their beans.)
THE AUTHORITIES DO NEED TO BE INFORMED.
An illegal immigrant flying the Flag upside down with impunity is a hate crime.
The US Army has had an inverted flag of its own for some time. Federal law says the blue piece should be on the left at all times.
It's an inverted flag...showing the country is in distress under Public Law 829.

He's an actor more than anything else, so he's going to take roles that are offered to him.
The detention camp in Colorado is just east of Aurora by the Buckley Air National Guard base (I think it has since been renamed the Buckley Air Force base). I've driven by the camp a few times.
I find this one funny:

Actually, I think that is called Stars forward position. If the Stars could only be on the left as you say, the Stars on a flag in the wind have to be able to move so they could always stay on the left. What you have a picture of is NOT an inverted flag.
Target success. Cloak lifted at o300 hours. Operation success... over[8D]
So, was it taken down, fixed, burnt, or what?
