Throughout history thousands of people have died keeping old Glory flying high and proud and above all else. No wonder the old veteran was so disgusted. It's very possible he has witnessed people die while trying to keep that flag flying high. To see your flag flying underneath another should horrify every single American.
For the store owner so say he didn't know it was illegal is bullshit. No doubt he had to have received at least a few calls from citizens informing him if they took the time to call the police. If he was truly an American citizen then the thought of another flag flying above his adopted country's flag should horrify him too.
It's not ok to burn our flag. It's not ok to fly another above it. At the very minimum to do either is showing a huge disrespect for all our men and women that who have given their life to keep it flying. I personally feel it's a treasonous act to fly another flag above the Stars and Stripes and should be punishable as such.
