in reply to Vee • • •Using it that way is disrespectful! As with many of our Laws it's use being twisted. In this case, the Supreme Court held that flying it upside down is an expression of "free speech".
However the actual Law says (without being taken from context):
"U.S. Flag Code (4 U.S.C. § 8(a)), the flag should never be displayed with the union (the stars) down "except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property".

I did my tours and I know what the flag means. Please indulge me for a moment? So far it is only a dozen directly, a lot more indirectly. How many people does ICE have to murder in cold blood before we can consider our country in dire distress? Just so I know when it will be appropriate of course.

in reply to Unus Nemo • • •@unusnemo I'm not only talking about ICE! I'm talking about the inhumanity of letting USAID food and supplies rot on the docks and people dying. The lawlessness of deporting people and breaking up families. To say nothing about blowing up boats and killing people with no evidence of their criminality, or destroying medical research, firing thousands of government workers who helped people.
We are in EXTREME distress NOW! A felon, a thief is robbing us blind and destroying our culture!

in reply to Unus Nemo • • •@unusnemo Unus ... laws and rules are made up of words and have meaning. Some people think it's cute to pervert the meaning to show how cute or clever they are. U.S. Flag Code (4 U.S.C. § 8(a)) is not difficult to read and figure out what it means.
SC Justice Alito "allowed his wife" to fly our flag upside down at their house. It is their right but it is disrespectful.
It's the same for others who think flying the flag upside down is clever. It's not!

You misunderstand me completely. I do not think it is clever or cute at all. I think it is entirely appropriate. As I believe our country is in dire distress. I am prepared to agree to disagree. I am good with that. I hope you are as well.

Do not get me wrong. I believe all the points you have outlined are serious. Though when I see the Spanish taking on the roles of the Jews, and I feel like I am living in Anne Frank's diary. I get very disturbed. Just what was I fight for? Certainly not this.

Not my flag but flying on fire seems appropriate.
