Flying a Flag

A person was arrested for suggesting that the national flag be flown upside down in protest of the government of the day. And people protest. While it's understandable that the public have lost faith in our judiciary system, this is a complete different situation. To fly the national flag upside down is sedition, and completely unrelated to the government of the day. Now if you want to protest them, one should suggest flying the party's flag upside down instead of the national flag. There's a difference, albeit a slim one when the government of the day has been running the country since its independence.

But arresting someone without a warrant is the height of stupidity.
