Interesting story here: A couple in North Carolina, to demonstrate their concern for what this country is becoming, put up a U.S. flag upside down — the classic distress signal, as anyone with half a brain knows. As a preemptive clarification to morons who would think they were somehow being “unpatriotic” by doing so, they pinned signs to the flag explaining that it wasn’t an indication of disrespect. A few bystanders looked at the signs, some offering their support, & then went about their business.
Oh, wait, that last part isn’t true, my bad.
What really happened is a cop showed up to tell them that their clarification signs themselves were considered a desecration. He then assaulted them, and arrested them on charges of them assaulting HIM, as well as for — get this — pinning signs to the flag.
Times like this I wonder if I’m still even in the U.S….
