You guys are being a bit ridiculous.
The phone call was the first time Flynn got to talk to his dad since he had left. He was confused the day he left and since then his whole life has been destroyed. He had to blow up at his dad and get his anger out.
Think about from his point of view. His dad is no longer there. Everyone is hounding him and his family for information regarding his father. Flynn probably doesn't even feel like he knows his father anymore. He always saw him as a kind, innocent, nice guy. He's finding out that his father was a murderer, a drug manufacturer, and the head of a criminal organization.
Flynn is now without a dad, stuck with his mom (who is in a lot of trouble herself), a baby sister, and a devastated aunt. His uncle, whom he had always looked up to and had looked at as a figure of strength, is dead and his father had something to do with it. Think about all he's lost, and how quickly it all happened. His family has split apart. Flynn would have had to go to Hank's funeral. He can't escape any of this. It's not like he can just go and hide in his room or go out for a drive. He no longer lives in the house that he grew up in and had lived all his life up to this point. He no longer has the sweet, badass car his dad had bought him. It's all gone.
If you had lost family members, had lost your car, lost your home, lost your anonymity, and lost your privacy you'd be super pissed too. It's got to be a really confusing time for him. He's a kid in high school. He'd been sort of babied his whole life, by both parents, and often wouldn't hear the truth about things. Now he's suddenly had to grow up, he's learning the awful truth about everything, and he only has a fractured mother to help guide him at this point. He's probably never been so lost, so lonely, and so scared in his entire life. I wouldn't be surprised if he started using drugs to help self-medicate. This is a lot for a teenage kid to handle. He's got all the normal teenage stuff to worry about still, plus this craziness.
I've read a lot of posts on BL. There's a lot of bitching about stuff that isn't anything near what Flynn had to go through. If he hadn't flipped out on Walt it wouldn't have been realistic. I bet if they talked again he wouldn't flip out as much because he needed to get that anger out.
