America is in Distress, Veteran Flies Flag Upside Down Harrassed By Cops

An American flag has been flying upside down, and causing some controversy. A Crivitz man raised the flag union down, saying he was in distress, because of a problem with the village.

My wife and I are on the doorstep of bankruptcy, said Congine. Were in distress. And I told them you just put my building and my home and my entire family in distress. Im going to express myself. But he had been flying the flag union down. Before the Fourth of July parade, which would go past Congines property, the Crivitz Police Department took matters into its own hands. The police department says it received complaints about the flag, and tried to contact Congine.

On the 4th, the police department took the flag down, returning it to Congine the next day.

Its ridiculous. They violated my first amendment rights, said Congine. Just more jackboot thuggery by your local police department

I have purchased an american flag & I am going 2 fly it upside down. The united states is iminent danger, not from a foreign takeover but from within. I am a veteran i served my country and it is moving at a blitzkreig pace 2wards a military/police, communist state. we have schools teaching kids 2 sing praise songs 2 obama? WTF!!! Obama is going2 be the 1st american dictator. As for that guy wantn 2 cut it down he would have got his ass kickd if he came on my property.

The red neck, faggot that is wanting the flag to be flown correctly needs to be educated that it is perfectly LEGAL to fly it upside down and if he doesn't like it, he can take a flying leap off a tall bridge. He's also another brain washed sheeple. There's sheeples like him all over the place. Its sickening to see all the sheeples there are in this country. complaisant, stupid sheep!!

@nationalist909 And this is the problem. People getting to upset about something symbolic. A flag is generally something symbolic yes? Butt it's not what influences our actions and decisions we make. It's the constitution and our personal motives that does. it's just a flag, it's what you don't see that matters. and if you don't see or notice it. That means that it's doing it's job And that is the governing body. States however do stupid shit like this all the time trying to override amendments.

[tehatemachine]

He was doing it all wrong. it's the STATES Fault. Not the countries. so he should of took his states flag and put it upside down.

[nationalist909]

the flag is to be flown upside down in times of dire distress. not as a sign of protest. this man, veteran or not, is not in distress and has no right to disrespect that flag! his Constitutional rights were not violated and it is not tyrannical of the village council to deny the liquor lisence. appeal it the right way. dont disrespect the entire nation and her flag.
