It is a federal crime to fly an American flag upside down or to fly any other flag above the American flag (there are a few exceptions for US Naval ships at sea). These punks need to be imprisoned for a few years and then deported.

As for the federal crimes committed here, what would you venture that if charged under federal law there would be one count rather than two counts (one for flying an American flag upside down and one for flying any other flag above the American flag)?

So it looks like they accidentally did get one thing right.
