re: #651 MandyManners

It says:

A day after the parade, police returned the flag and the man’s protest — over a liquor license — continued.

In mid-June, Congine, 46, began flying the flag upside down — an accepted way to signal distress — outside the restaurant he wants to open in Crivitz, a village of about 1,000 people some 65 miles north of Green Bay.

He said his distress is likely bankruptcy because the village board refused to grant him a liquor license after he spent nearly $200,000 to buy and remodel a downtown building for an Italian supper club.

Congine’s upside-down-flag represents distress to him; to others in town, it represents disrespect of the flag.

So he was using a Paulian/Troofer symbol (taking the upside US flag meaning “distress” as in the US is in distress because of statists) implying that the US was a tyrannical police state because some stupid local bureaucracy denied his request for a liquor license. To me this screams Paulian drama queen.

I hope he wins his case against the cops and sues the hell out of that town, but he shouldn’t get a pass as being pure as driven snow.
