When I was in Cub Scouts, I learned two important things about the American flag. The first is to never let it touch the ground, otherwise you have to turn into a Vietnam War protester and burn it. The second thing is that you only hang the flag upside down if you're stupid, confused and / or in distress

Well, some guy from Warr Acres is either stupid, confused or in distress. Earlier this week, two Oklahoma City news stations rushed to his home in Warr Acres after learning that he was flying an upside down American flag in his front yard – something that is totally legal to do – next to a properly displayed Peruvian flag.
