When is the best time to tell an american that their flag is upside down?



    




Crypt
Immediately. An American flag is hung upside down as a sign of emergency and distress. If it's intentional then they need help. Or they're just bleeding heart liberals looking to make a statement, in which case you can safely ignore them.

When you see the American Flag being flown upside down, it means HELP.

As soon as you see it mention it or, go see if you can help.


Robert W

If the person doesn't know that they hung their flag upside down, it would be a good idea to let them know as soon as possible. Hanging a flag upside down is extremely disrespectful.

The only time a flag is flown stars down is a distress signal. Anyone who flies a flag should know the proper protocol.

The American flag should only be flown upside down in an emergency or for a sign of distress. If it is being flown then there is proubly no real time to talk about it. But if you must then the earlier the better.


I need help!

Whenever it is upside down.

When you see an American flag upside down, get help. Who ever hung the flag upside down is in very serious danger. This is not a joke!

You don't need to tell them, they hung it that way on purpose. Now when the proper authorities arrive to help them, they really need to be in danger. Hanging the flag upside down as protest is very stupid. It's like dialing 911 just to see if anyone will respond, or yelling Fire just to watch people run.

As soon as you see it.

when they are in Australia

If he has two black eyes, he has already been told twice.


Mr. This Guy
The American thing too do is too tell them A.S.A.P., hanging the American flay upside down is the signal for distress, or help.

I'd do it right away, but they might have a reason for doing it. It's a sign of protest to some, so be prepared to hear their side of it.

If you hang a flag upside down, it means that you have surrendered.

I think that is one of the cases where if they don't have the wit to work it out for themselves, you are legally and morally obliged to say nothing and just laugh at them.

Ahahaha.
You don't.
You let them fly it like that until they notice.
God, I think those people who fly flags are weird.
I live in America,
and I guess that I have no patriotism,
but whatever.

After it's burned to ashes.
