Do you find it offensive when individuals fly the American flag upside down in political protest?

In my HONEST opinion, politics is the ONLY place to express this type of opposition to an idea. This environment is the only place to try and make lawful change. I have no problem with it.

The flag flown upside down is a sign of distress. It seems logical to to investigate and make sure no assistance is required. Making a judgment prematurely based on your interpretation, could leave a Marine or fellow countryman in the lurch.

No, I just ignore it. Some vets say things like "snowflake this and snowflake that" yet the moment fabric touches flame or someone yawns during the national anthem they fly off the rails in a hysterical fit about "you will respect my flag" like dude chill for a minute.

Flying the flag upside down is not disrespectful and described in protocol on how to fly the flag. Two thoughts: 1. It's freedom of speech IAW protocol and, 2. It's not being treated in a way some of the turds around the country treat it (walking on it, burning it, etc).

I'm not offended at all. The reason for many to fly the flag upside-down has less to do with politics and more to do with systemic-institutionalized Left-Right in-government corruption and the continued degradation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. People who burn, stomp, defecate and or urinate on our flag are making anti-American political statements, and these "domestic enemies" such as Bill Ayers and the followers of Sal Alinsky author of, "Rules for Radicals" offend me beyond description.
