And because of some confusion the flag ended up flying by itself, without an American flag next to it.

There was a confusion as to where New Mexico was located?
In the newscast, they reported that Peter Lynch "is charged with ripping down the flag and tearing it up." Would the results be different if he'd only removed the flag?
In addition, the newscast reported that Peter Lynch "told campus police that he was upset that an American flag was not flown above the foriegn flag." There's one problem: you cannot fly two countries' flag on the same pole.
There needs to be a Flag 101 at the University, taught right after Beer & Liquor 101.
I'd likely consider him a patriot. The flag was flying in front of UNM's administrative offices and the University President's office. The building these offices are in is on the National Register of Historic Places, a 1936 PWA/"New Deal" building paid for with Federal money and built with American hands. Funny, the newscasts leave this little detail out.
