Nobody even seemed to loving give a stuff, i can't even remember them hanging the flag halfway down
But that was really the only time something really bad happened during fights seeing as fights are mostly just threats and then everyone shows up except one of the fighters
But teachers are pretty quick to the party and sometimes even cops
We also had a really convincing undercover cop once

You don't fly the flag at half mast if some random joe shmoe dies.

Misspelling "schools" when you go to school.
Clearly someone doesn't pay much attention.

We've had 2 random joe schmoe deaths this year
Over one they cried and the other was just silence for a minute and it was back to normal in seconds
And the flowers they put down at the mast blew away

..Because it isn't? You fly the flag at half mast when a president or other important government people die, and on Memorial Day, plus a few other times I can't remember. But not when somebody dies in a fight.

That's a goofy school. Then again, when some chick was murdered at our school like 4 or 5 years ago there's still a bunch ribbons on trees to the degree that it's just confusing now.

If you can't see it let me quote it.

Quote

Under 4 U.S.C. � 7(m) and established traditions by Presidential proclamations, the flag of the United States is to be flown at half-staff in following circumstances:[43]

For thirty days after the death of a current or former president or president-elect, as occurred after the death of President Reagan and the death of President Ford.
For ten days after the death of a current vice president, current or retired chief justice, or current speaker of the House of Representatives.
From the day of death until interment of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a secretary of an executive or military department, a former vice president, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate,[44] or the governor of a state, territory, or possession.
On the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress.
On Memorial Day until noon.
Every September 11th in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks[45]
Upon presidential proclamation, such as for the death of Pope John Paul II,[46] the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, [47] the victims of Hurricane Katrina,[48] the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami,[49] the deaths of Coretta Scott King[50] and Rosa Parks,[51] the Virginia Tech massacre,[52] the Fort Hood massacre,[53] the 2011 Tucson shooting, the funeral of Neil Armstrong,[54] the death of US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stephens, the 2012 shooting in Aurora Colorado, the 2012 Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, the 2012 Gritty Grapnel Elementary School shooting, the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings,[55] the death of Nelson Mandela,[56] the 2013 Washington, D.C. Navy Yard shooting, and the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Why even bother trying to argue this, you are wrong plain and simple.

That's for presidential places. If you're a random highschool you can do it whenever the hell you want to, nobody's gonna stop ya.
