“A Pennsylvania man who hung an American flag upside down and spraypainted it said he was standing up for the American Indian heritage and exercising his First Amendment rights. Police, however, took the flag down and charged Joshua Brubaker with a crime: Desecration and insults to the American flag. Brubaker said he never meant to upset or offend anyone and defended his actions. He and his wife are American Indians and are passionate about the movement. Brubaker said many in his family served in the military and that gives him the right to express his beliefs by desecrating the flag. Authorities said there are other ways he could have expressed himself.”
