When did they take it down? Before sunset? When did jackwagon raise it to half staff? Before noon?

The manager himself disagrees with you, he has already made a statement that he simply took it down because he wanted to, he wasn’t taking it down for nightfall or out of respect.

You just keep making up things.

I’m still waiting for your source on him being cited for a tattered flag.
