I know this individual has been granted certain rights by The Constitution but his blatant disrespect of our American Flag is a travesty. Shame on him.
Being the daughter of a serviceman I completely understand the upset over disrespect of the flag. Upside down (sign of distress) but as an american he /she should never let the flag touch the ground...never...that is complete disrespect, just as though they were burning it. Hopefully it will be rectified. A lot of upset individuals today.
