Thanks pro for the update. Reading that it was not actually illegal to fly the flags that way, I now feel Brossard was a bit too hot headed in that situation. I know how Americans almost idolise their flag and, as stated in my last post, see it as a prime symbol of their patriotism, so I can understand his feelings, but there were probably better ways of dealing with it. I stand by my last post in that I believe the bar owner was stirring up trouble.
