<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One of two things.<br /><br />Either find someone to do a welfare check on them since the upside down flag is a sign of distress, or if that was not the case, as noted by observation, I would probably respectfully request the flag be reflown upright.<br /><br />In the latter case if the owner made an honest mistake and hadn&#39;t noticed then they will likely fix the situation. If the upside down flag was an intentional act (political protest, hates the USA, whatever) I&#39;d probably tell him he&#39;s a prick and leave.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would contemplate taking his flag.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I agree with a possible welfare check. <br />Other than that, they&#39;re an American that has the right to freedom of speech. I may not like it, but it&#39;s really not worth giving the attention or the likely horrendous confrontation.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would go talk to the person. Explain that most Americans view this as a from of disrespect to the United States of America. If he still won&#39;t correct the situation there is nothing you can really do about it. Maybe tell the person if they don&#39;t love the USA they should move to another country. Most likely they will not be able to get away with it there and may very well imprisoned for their actions.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Free country. People are free to be morons if they want to. Although, with the Biden win it might be time.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Since flying a United States flag upside down is a distress signal, I would knock on the occupant&#39;s door and if home, ask if they knew what the upside-down flag meant... If they did not I would explain it to them... If they knew and meant it as a protest, then I would notify the police to make them aware... I would not try to escalate the problem with the person...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not worry about it because there are far bigger things in my life to worry about than someone likely making a political statement.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You are free to ask the owner about it but no law is broken and no one is being harmed. As much as I disagree with it you are limited in what you can do as a response. Just be careful because the person may want the attention to turn it into a public spectacle.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>His Castle, his Flag. A neighbor across the field did until 1/20/21 and it&#39;s blood red here. Nobody bothered him. A good way to get shot around here. On their land uninvited, making demands. Someone burning it in public might push me to get involved, even though it is legal. Still worth going to jail over.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This has happened in my neighborhood before. An elderly couple mistakenly hanged their flag upside down. At first, I thought they were in distress. They later explained. The older gentleman was a war vet like me. They displayed their flag &quot;upside down&quot; by mistake. They were very appreciative of me checking on them. Had it been deliberate, I would have continued to fly my flag right side up

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The same thing I would do if he was burning it. Nothing. Its his flag, &quot;Not my circus, not my monkeys&quot;. Now if someone messes with MY flag we&#39;ll have issues.
