Was it his own flag, or did it belong to someone else when he burned it?

As I understand it, the flagpole belonged to the ROTC. A Mexican kid/student rose the Mexican flag on that flagpole. It was taken down by the ROTC members and returned to that Mexican kid. The Mexican kid returned and put the Mexican flag back up there. So, the american kid took it down and burned it.

So, as the debate goes, the flag belonged to someone else, but after the Mexican put it up on the ROTC flagpole, it can be considered to be abandoned.
