Well, that would be a SURE SIGN of EVIL

You know, how the upside down cross was a satanic symbol, etc. The idea was to pervert the symbols of the Church. There are other examples. Oh, and no offense to our Satanists out there, this is just some old stuff in relation to the Catholic Church Regime days.

It is possible.

I will link a video I found. I can't watch it to see if you can tell if he is holding it upside down. I can't look at him right now. My blood pressure is up too high and I don't have healthcare because I cannot afford it. I'm trying to remain calm after being labeled a terrorist because I am against fascism. I need a Valium. Too bad I know know the right people on the street somewhere right now. I really think I need one....or several.

Never mind all the crap below.
Here is one.

When he was holding it up to show the front, they were sticking out the bottom.

the red 'tail(s?)' of the bookmark is hanging out the bottom. Assuming it is a bible that has permanent book marks he would be holding it right side up. This style bookmark is attached to the top of the spine and the user pulls the cloth marker down the page, leaving the tail hanging out the bottom.

Frankly I am FAR more concerned about the assault he ordered on a peaceful protest than if he knows which end of a book is up.
