Flag flown upside down as sign of distress outside of US State Department building today
Repost from over a year ago?
Here is the front of my house TODAY.
I had a large American flag that I put up with staples but someone STOLE my flag.
So, I painted the flag on the front of the house so they can't steal it.
I was extremely angry at the thief and I wanted to send them a message that MY opinion is they were NOT Americans. So I painted the stars as swastikas. After that was up for a while I decided to change the blue field of the flag to the flag of Israel, where the true evil is today.
Is this normal in the USA, or are you the crazy neighbour? Haha
Both. It’s definitely possible for both to be true in the US.
This would be the normal response to abnormal times
It's feels normal to me.
It's seems normal for these times.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
These times are crazy, but I think most people still aren't crazy?..
This is crazy neighbor territory.
Hear that noise? Yeah, he’s currently loading his gun.
there is generally at least one in every county... not necessarily every town?
Not being against genocide and the crazy shit going on in the U.S. is what's insane. Stop trying to gaslight people.
I appreciate your support.
THANKS! I'm gonna keep working on it.
Have they tried giving ALL the hydrogen peroxide to ONE algae and letting it “trickle down” to all the others?
If seeing two men kiss will turn your child gay then just show them a picture of a man and a woman kissing to change them back.
I am against both, but I don't express it by painting my walls.
Have you painted your walls like that?
The ONLY reason I painted the house is because somebody STOLE my flag.
They didn't steal my flag so they can have a flag, they stole MY flag so that I could NOT have a flag.
What kind of American steals an American flag from another American???
Answer: One of them is NOT an American. I wonder which one. I wonder what they are.
That makes sense. It's a lot harder to steal a house!
I would say it depends on where you live
Wow! Are there just parts of the US where everybody paints different political messages on their sheds and stuff?
There's crazy neighbors everywhere.
If you own the house you can do whatever you want.
If you're renting, the landlord (or HOA) won't let you.
My mom got a letter from the HOA saying someone saw the hood of her car up. I was checking her motor oil level.
I'm asking more about how common it is, and not how possible it is.
HOAs sound insane though.
It is getting less common to own a home.
Also I'm retired so I don't have a job/income to endanger. I don't have a wife or children in school so no local social pressures. I consider myself unique to be able to do stuff like this.
At Christmas last year I wanted to do a nativity scene with ICE agents holding Mary and Joseph at gunpoint while a third agent zip-tied the baby Jesus. "He's not from around here."
I was too busy with other things. THAT would have been fun. I'm all about having fun.
Heh. That makes sense!
Ever been to anywhere in Humboldt county California?
I've never heard of Humboldt county. Is that a flag-painting kind of place?

They're the 'crazy' neighbor, because most Americans are basically unfathomably out of touch with anything resembling common sense or basic decency, and are more offended by shapes and colors in patterns they don't like, than by tens of thousands of needless deaths.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is hated for being able to see anything.
Is no one going to mention the overturned ATV with what appears to be a manequin?
Just ask.
When I moved here I purchased a USED ATV from the local Polaris dealer ($3,000). I bought it in the Winter and didn't try to use it till Spring. That's when I found out it did not work right. The Polaris dealer told me my three month warranty was up. He wouldn't refund my purchase and he wouldn't help me fix it.
SO...it's JUNK. It was in my back yard and I figured it should be in the front yard where EVERYBODY can see it. I turned it upside down and stepped back to look at it and it seemed a bit "dark" to me so I added the legs sticking out.
In this small town, the Chief of Police was friends with the Polaris dealer so he paid me a visit and told me I had to move it. He said it was a distraction and he would hold me responsible for ANY accidents along the street.
The next day I took an ad out in the paper. ATV art for sale by leading ATV artist. Price reduced from $57,000 to $23,456.78. My loss is your gain.
Then I went to the Police station and told them "Now that everyone knows how much my art is worth, you need to go by a couple of times a night to check on my artwork.
Then a concerned citizen contacted me and asked it they could help. We made a deal where he would write me a check for $23,456.78 BUT I would not try to cash it. What I did was go back to the police and SHOW them that I had a buyer for my artwork BUT the condition of the sale is that It has to STAY where it is.
They leave me alone now.
You are an exceptional human
Bravo
bro you nuttier than a squirrel turd after no nut November.
But, but, but...it's WORKING!
I have to agree, but with this admin it’s equally likely that someone incompetent did it by mistake, didn’t notice, was later told about it, and then didn’t care enough to fix it.
They could be flying or upside down for their asinine and bigoted reasons too. The news story about this is below.
According to the Newsweek article, It is unclear whether the viral photo is genuine or, if it is, whether the upside-down flag was a mistake or an act of protest by a disgruntled employee.
If it was actually like this, it was only up for twenty minutes.

Yeah, on a boat. Is it a sinking ship?
