I assume they meant to fly it at half-mast, but I feel that them dunking it in the gutter by mistake instead is oddly poetic.

Woulda been more fitting if they shoved it up their ass

Sure, but I'm not willing to photograph that.

Mr. Landlord could also get in trouble for ruining the flag, or am I wrong?

To expand on the other reply, this is very much a violation of official US flag code. However, under our constitution, the flag code is in no way legally enforceable on civilians. The only consequences of this would be social, and since most people aren't aware of or don't care about official flag code, no trouble will likely result.

"The code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules."

No, they won't get in trouble. There are no laws dictating the treatment of flags, except the very important freedom allowing it to be burnt as political speech. There are people who might get upset, but that's the most of it

Yeah, I think they're thinking of the military, where the rules are much more strict.

Depends on who they vote for. Not even kidding
