EruditioSalvatus Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 I can see both sides. It's not as bad as yelling 'fire' in a theater, but an upside down flag is a sign of there being a problem at the location. At the very least it could be 'disturbing the peace.' On the other hand, it's his flag and he as the right to do what he wants with it. Snagging it with no prior mention by the police (it alludes to this being the case) is wrong either way. Quote
Traveler Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 My father taught me that just doing a right thing is not always right. He taught me that not only must we do the right thing but we must do it for the right reason before we can lay claim to being in the right. I have had personal dealing with the ACLU and I do not believe they have any motivation to do any right thing for the right reason. The Traveler Quote

Wingnut Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 It seems extreme to me to fly the flag upside down over a paperwork issue, but it also seems extreme to march in and remove it without warning or a warrant (did I miss mention of a warrant?). The comment was made in the article that "it's illegal to cause a disturbance" -- what about the disturbance the police caused? Are they above the law? Quote
