I think the problem with things like this is, and I copied the original post in but this is a response to the whole thread in general, is that no one was really wrong in the situation, at least in my opinion. Everyone has free speech right? So if the woman is expressing her right to free speech by hanging a flag upside down. JarHead's buddy then in turn exercised his right to free speech by knocking on the door and asking what was up. The thing about free speech is that everybody has it. If someone wanted to hold a peaceful protest in front of her house, while being an incredible waste of time, would still be allowed under our free speech, would it not? I think people sometimes try to hide behind free speech, like they are immune to criticism. For instance no one should actually tell her to take it down but they have every right to criticize her for it. It sounds confusing and my head is all twisted around just writing that but it really is simple.
