Man Flies Flag Upside Down To Signify Nation In Distress

[bklynAtrain]

This is no reason to call the police. A life could be in danger while the police is responding to this non-emergency call. People need a life.

[objectsovart]

check out my art piece on youtube don shearer love saves the day it is an upside down flag too

[BelgianBass]

all American flags should be upside down

[92fudbaler]

THere is nothing wrong with what he did It is one way of protesting that US people Need to start to be doing more to see some change.

[halorunescaper]

yes thats the right thing to do a swat team could see the flag upside down and go over bust his door down for no reason what an idiot

[Boston1775]

i was intriqued with him till i saw the kangol hat.

[dontbeapunk1]

If he burned the flag, he would have never made the news.

[MrCoalchamber]

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

And to the incompetent republic for which it stands, One nation

Under God, divided, with liberty for the wealthy and the welfare

and justice for few.

[chriscarneywatch]

As long as they are threatening to fine me and jail me for not buying mandatory health insurance... keep the flag flying.

[mojosmadness2]

@chriscarneywatch i know right health surence its your life and htere gonna make you have health insureance

[BilaalUSA]

I agree with your position regarding our Flag and the referenced woman's inappropriate display. I was respectfully inquiring your comment regardin Obama.

[Blacknite3d]

According to Federal Law (see Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1, Section 1 and Section 2 and Executive Order 10834) the flag shall never be upside down unless "in extreme of extreme danger to life or property." Not for political stunts.

However, you all voted for our new President as our "Saviour" so seek the rewards! Maybe you will all learn next time? Or not...

[BilaalUSA]

I think even the most hardened conservative learned a lot the past two presidential terms. The Palin/McCain alternative was not a very attractive option.

[Blacknite3d]

Better than Obama...

[BilaalUSA]

How so?

[Blacknite3d]

What do you mean "how so?" Is her life or property facing life threatening results in the next few secs? If not, then it is a political stunt, is that not what it is? A protest of politics?

[wolfgange63]

Yes it is the right thing to do. Our country is in distress!! We are forgetting the reason why we are here. To get away from government control. We are so close to communism, so away from individualism it stinks like shit! You leftist really think the government is going to set you free?! Think again...you are all being suckered. Government is not your friend! They are nothing more than a pimp and you are the whore. They give you a little and they take more!! WAKE TF UP

[deathbotv1]

Who has ever told you that they think "the government will set them free"? That's an absurd notion.

[wolfgange63]

Obama and the democrats say it everyday

[deathbotv1]

Democrats and Republicans all say the same thing. You're clearly a conservative shill trying to pass themselves off as some sort of independent.

[wolfgange63]

LMAO!!! Where do you see a democrat speaking against government control. Quite the contrary. You label me as a conservative. Where does that label you??

[deathbotv1]

The fact that you mention leftists, and imply that democrats willingly submit to government control tells me that you are a conservative.

[wolfgange63]

Well you diliberately failed to answer the 2nd part of my question which must mean you are a lefty liberal. Actually I fall into the Libertarian catergory. If you consider a Libertarian a conservative then hey...I guess I am a conservative. I do believe in conservation. I believe in protecting the constitution and civil liberties. As far as implying that democrats willingly submit to government control...well they are the ones doing it, I am merely pointing it out.

[wolfgange63]

They were the ones who put a known Marxist in office. A man who has even stated that the constitution is what is holding us back from progress. A man with an administration who believes government is the answer to our economic crisis. Who want to tax tax and tax till destroy the middle class because in Marxist society there can only be 2 classes of people. The elite and the peasants. Pay attention to them the same way you paid attention to the Bush administration. Listen to their speech.

[ShittyPunkVids]

he has every right to do this

those fucking pigs just had a power trip, thinking they can fuck with other peoples rights for fun

[lgtbyddrk]

omg.. this almost makes me want to fly a flag upside down just to get people pissed off.. lol

but seriously, this guy has every right and reason to be flying the flag in this way.. Our nation is in trouble..

[BilaalUSA]

I never thought I would live to see Bubba devastated to the point of displaying his own flag upside-down. What are you guys doing for an encore? The Funky Chicken? The bin Ladins of this world are basking in your self-effacing spectacle. Your time has come and gone. Good riddance.

[azrial4421]

Fuck the flag its nothing these days, army trained me to respect it and crap, all bs, I killed people in trashganastan so i could get paid and get a life. theres no democracy here, no america. $700 billion to the biggest corporations? millions of illegals, fast food shitholes on every street, fuck america

[BilaalUSA]

Since you are free to go; simply leave!

[azrial4421]

lol I am, goin to Holland, I hope it gets better here, but i doubt it

[BilaalUSA]

Thats great news; from a strictly American perspective, words cannot express our gratitude. Finally, are there other dissidents whom you can take along? Maybe you guys can bundle a special group rate discount on airline tickets. In any event, Bo-voyage!

[azrial4421]

no im good, sorry just dont want to live in mexico

[BilaalUSA]

I dont mean to rush you, but are your bags packed yet? Do you need a ride to the airport?

[azrial4421]

yes i do, you wanna give me one?

[BilaalUSA]

While I feel it my patriotic duty to expedite your departure, we must traverse public roads that are paid for with American tax dollars. Surely a honorable man such as you would not surrender to socialistic infrastructure. So how are we to get you to the airport? Anyway, bring plenty of adult diapers; we wouldnt want you to compromise your principles and use an American public restroom.

[azrial4421]

where is america? it certainly isnt here in florida.

[BilaalUSA]

Answer Part I: You are standing on it. Answer Part II: America is not in Florida but rather the other way around.

Floridians shed blood for sake of country and proudly fly our flag right-side-up. The more poignant question is this: Why are you still here??

[mekanik187]

we are in distress and its ok because the ppl that don't believe should probably just keep following like the sheep they are

[theanarchist16]

Look you dumb asses. He's representing that our nation is in distress. He's not just an idiot trying to gain attention. I know him. He loves this country. But he hates what is happening in it. Obama is doing absolutely nothing he promised, not to mention staying with this bull shit wiretaps. During that interview, he also talked about the construction of the north american union, the amero, the impeachment of george bush, & other shit. But fox news censored it. And I come from a military family.

[streakingcameraman]

Well, I'm a veteran, and I say this guy is a fucking pussy who doesn't deserve this fucking country.

[20OnELoVe12]

the union may never be flown upside down, except in extreme danger of life and property...... DIDN'T Hilary sell us out to China??? There is GOOD enough reason to begin this...

Our Life, and property ARE IN DANGER...

America is in Danger...WAKE UP..

visit oath-keeper(.)blogspot(.)com. Find you fellow people...

I LOVE YOU GUYS all of you new and old...Things must be fixed....Don't put him down till you know the WHOLE STORY..

[BilaalUSA]

I am a vet too, and I say thats why we have elections. God bless Barack Hussein Obama II, President of the United States and God Bless America.

[streakingcameraman]

He doesn't have a reason, no reason what so ever. He is nothing more than a man wanting attention. He is disrespecting our flag, you should be ashamed. As far as Barack, we only have 3 3/4 years left of him, he will not be reelected as long as the Reps. bring in someone better than Palin.

[BilaalUSA]

The U.S. Flag represents more than just Freedom of Speech; it epitomizes promises as yet unfulfilled and hopes for a better future. It signifies our right to practice religion, or not. You are toying with a symbol that expresses the value system so many of my fellow citizens hold dear? So heed the warning that was given to previous foreign instigators regarding the original American Jack: DONT TREAD ON ME!

[FromDimmuLand]

More flags up side down...

USA is facing horrible events and it needs to be understood..

Iwo Jima ? yea that is the excact same thing ! So, it is forbidden to scream for help from a threat from within your own contry? think not !!!! MORE FLAGS !!!

[BilaalUSA]

I agree that our nation is faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. However there are other ways of protesting the policies of our elected official; Write letters, send emails, attend meetings, stage marches with banners and signs. Hell, run for office. Thats the patriotic spirit of a free democracy at its best. The sight of Americans flying their own flag upside down gives Bin Laden a since of Mission Accomplished. Old Glory flying proudly through the toughest times signifies our resolve

[FromDimmuLand]

some quotes:

''Living in Texas, we are on the front lines for this cartel problem. It just dawned on me, with the Mexican government failing miserably on controlling these monsters, it could give the U.S. reason to handle it themselves. In turn giving a reason for the NAU as a "needed" thing. Problem, Reaction, Solution.

FALSE FLAG WRITTEN ALL OVER!''

[FromDimmuLand]

quote :

''MOSCOW - If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the United States will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order. ''

And here in norway, the government is supposed to 'disapear' by the time of, 2011 into these D.u.m.b.s ..Afganistan buy 5.4 million bio-suits. Try to find the connetion, I dare you ! :D

[BilaalUSA]

Let me make sure I got this right. I am suppose to hang the American Flag upside down on the advice of a Norwegian who is talking nonsense about the United States splitting in to six sections under Marshall Law. Yeah right. Then you go aimlessly into the drug trafficking situation in Mexico. I fail to see what any of this has to do with Americans bowing down to the Bin Ladens of the world by disrespecting their own Flag. Fly your OWN flag upside down and leave mine along.

[FromDimmuLand]

Yes,and we dont have that Up/Down thing in Norway,as far I know, it looks the same both ways. But you clearly dont know what you are facing over there.If you think its just the Money Crisis thing, leave your flag as it is, you can flag all the way to the camps !!!

[20OnELoVe12]

Of course it is nonsense!!!! That is precisly why it will be happening...

Keeping believeing it,,, And keep your flag just as it is, your still a Patriot in sense, Just not completely awoke to the BIG mess, That was SO PLANNED.....

Peace and Most of all LOVE

[BilaalUSA]

RESPECT FOR THE FLAG is in Section 8 of the US Flag Code. This section also contains US Tax Regulations. However there are punitive repercussions for violating Tax Law. Lets test just how much of an immediate emergency or dire mortal consequence you claim. SHOW SOME REAL FORTITUDE BY REFUSING TO PAY YOUR TAXES. I am confident that you will not compromise your principles. Your committed refusal to fund the mismanaged policy of our elected officials will grab the Governments attention - guaranteed

[20OnELoVe12]

Do U still think Bin Laden did that all on his own??? Also WE have been Doing ALL of those things you mentioned.. ALL,But until folks realize there is a corruption AND we aren't being heard. This is OUR next option it is NOT Direspectful, & I'm not the first to TELL U Its isn't about the ECONOMY. WE have been doing so MUCH and Washington Is NOt listening. LISTEN to us,Silence is Violence.BTW Bin laden Is not Our Problem anymore.He was just a boggy man to scare U. Did it work?

Peace

[BilaalUSA]

No I am not intimidated by bin Ladens threats. I never said that he CAUSED the current financial crisis but is rather strategizing to outlast our economy by benefiting from our over-reaction to systematic attacks. He awaits the cancer of our hate to take root. Surely our non-Islamic enemies are monitoring our fiscal capabilities as well. I agree with your point regarding the overt corruption that plagues our political community. Just dont disrespect my flag when other options of protest exist

[BilaalUSA]

One more point regarding your boogyman comment. I wrote bin Ladens OF THE WORLD. Meaning ALL our enemies; not just one man.

[BilaalUSA]

If the term - Distress - can now be reduced to ones state-of-mind or philosophic perspective, then at no point in time or space should the American Flag have EVER been displayed right-side-up. Was the flag flown upside down during slavery? Was it inverted the past 8 years under Bush? Do these sore losers care about the brave souls buried at Arlington Cemetery who may not share their position but would proudly commit the supreme sacrifice if they saw the flag flown that way in a REAL EMERGENCY?

[BilaalUSA]

Is it legal to falsely yell FIRE in a crowded theater? Without a PHYSICALLY distressful situation, the imagery is purely anti-American. Just as an upside-down Crucifix symbolizes Anti-Christendom? Theses were the same people who hypocritically wrapped themselves in Old Glory and criticized Obama for not wearing a tricked-out flag pin every waking moment. With all the mighty talk of supporting our troops, many of whom love their President Elect, the true measure of patriotism comes to light.

[ambervisions]

Excellent !We ARE IN DISTRESS PEOPLE! Fema camps...the collapsing dollar...no jobs...wake up! Thank  you for posting this! I so agree!

[thornwellhead]

I hanged my I Voted sticker upside down for this very reason! So I could have an upside down flag.

[Crutchcor]

He should be shot.

[literoad]

If a nation is in mourning over a loss, this is what half mast is for. Hanging a flag upside down is not good in any situation.

[Askmen24]

yup our nation is in distress i fly my flag upside down so he is not the only one. my background on my youtube user had a distress flag on it which is upside down but i guess Youtube did'nt like it. Where is our ADMENMENTS

[nativeops]

Yes, our country is in a serious state of distress, especially when the news makes a segment about a man, who feels patriotic about his country and the news doubts his right to exercise his freedom.

Welcome to Nazi Germany folks.

Typical dumb ass Vet. He doesn't even know the truth about his deployment to Korea. We live in a new age, and age of no more secrets.

Hint for FOX, use your position to cover stories about people WHO ARE ACTUALLY INFRINGING OUR RIGHTS!

This country is fucking over!

[ALITL8]

question: what does Iwo Jima have to do with a distress signal intended for civilian use? section 8a of the US flag code has little to do with military personnel.

THINK for minute, as a soldier you have no property as described in the context of this statute.

8a. 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.

im no genious but i read and comprehend what i read pretty well! say no to stupid ppl!!

[freedommv1]

tell him good job!
