BUTLER COUNTY, Pa. -- A Butler County man was cited for flying his [COLOR=blue ! important]American flag [/color]upside down.David Rice, 50, of Muddy Creek Township claimed he put his flag up at night and didn't realize it was upside down until recently. A passing motorist was offended and called the police.Rice was cited for violating a statute called Committing Insults to a National or Commonwealth Flag. SOURCE
-----------------------------
What are your thoughts? Should the guy have been cited for this?

Was the offended passing motorist too thin skinned? Did they make too much of this?

I probably would have knocked on his door and pointed out his error before just calling the police... Given him the benefit of the doubt.

However, had he been a jerk about it, then I would have called.
