What would you do if you noticed a United States flag hanging upside down at a business?

A woman noticed a flag hanging upside down at a local BP gas station. She took pictures and posted them to Facebook. This is what she had to say: “My local gas station in West Peoria Immigration at its finest Flag upside down…I told them it was disrespectful or a sign of distress they laughed and said it was on purpose a protest against America….”

This was late at night. The same night of the SOTU. Many of her friends called the gas station to complain. I have an old high school friend who called and cussed out the employee. Several complaints were made to the press. This article was printed the day after the mishap: http://www.pjstar.com/news/20180131/us-flag-mistakenly-placed-upside-down-at-peoria-gas-station

This woman’s post has gone viral with almost 10,000 shares in two days. Most of the comments made on her post are racist. They call for deportation because he’s not white. People are calling the owner a towel head. There are many threats of arson and worse.

The owner says it was a mistake. The flag was fixed as soon as it was pointed out to them. The comment about an employee saying it was in protest is hearsay.

Mistake or not what is wrong with some of these people? This poor man could be in danger due to all of this anger from the right. He is a legal citizen, business owner and father.

yes, this is more of a rant than a question. sorry. I’m just thoroughly disgusted with what I’ve witnessed the past two days. It just takes one nutjob to do something stupid, especially when they feel they are justified.
