So how do they decipher who's flags whose....or do they just trample over the many, hoping it effects the few?

They can't, but I haven't advocated for people to pull them down. I have just disagreed with those putting them up for negative and intimidating reasons.

My main point in this thread was that a large proportion of flags going up aren't for patriotism but for protest, which has yet to be proven wrong and in fact has been confirmed to be true.
