I assume they meant to fly it at half-mast, but I feel that them dunking it in the gutter by mistake instead is oddly poetic.

To expand on the other reply, this is very much a violation of official US flag code. However, under our constitution, the flag code is in no way legally enforceable on civilians. The only consequences of this would be social, and since most people aren’t aware of or don’t care about official flag code, no trouble will likely result.
“The code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules.”
