One person complained. Hey, if I complain to Congress about funding of NPR, will they obey me, even though it’s just one person? Why not?
Sen. Scott Brown lives in Wrentham...I’m sure he’ll say “c’mon gimme a break” when he hears this.
Let’s have a little experiment. They should all fly the gay rainbow flags instead and see if they get the same response. If not then sue their butts—pun intended.
The letter, which is unsigned but is on housing authority letterhead, says the move was made after a tenant repeatedly complained to the state Department of Housing and Community Development over the July 4th holiday.
Tyranny of the minority. Get used to it.
“Flags may be visible through the apartment windows, but may not be displayed on the exterior of the buildings or on the ground around the buildings,” it said.
Don’t expect that to last long, because surely the complainers eyes will still be offended.
WHO?
There was a recent study that suggested the sight of American Flags induces people to think conservatively, and act conservatively in the voting booth.
The Leftists know this.
Some very confused math at work here.
A single individual is upset so we are going to upset dozens so that this individual can be at peace.
Only an agent of government could calculate so poorly.
the move was made after a tenant repeatedly complained to the state Department of Housing and Community Development over the July 4th holiday.
So here we have a person living in public housing; housing that is at least subsidized by government funds.
So this tenant while living in his/her apartment by the grace of charity of the tax paying citizens of the united states can not bare to look upon the flag which represents the people upon whose charity he or she depends.
This ungrateful wretch should be asked to seek other accommodations.
Apparently someone came to their senses:

I would hav ethought thare was some kind of lease, even for public housing, and adding a rule that was not part of the original agreement might have offered some legal recourse for the tenants. It appears a few thousand calls/emails were more efficient than any legal recourse.
I’d start flying the Stars and Bars.
I can keep my Che flag up right?
What about my American flag with Obama on it?
fight Obama, display the flag!
remember the left hates displays of the flag because people have a tendency to vote against democrats when they see the US Flag.
This is why obama created his own logo. To avoid the flag.
We should all display flags outside our homes. The more people displaying flags the better.
Just REFUSE to comply.
Gather together with as many tenants as you can ally with.
Force the complex to act, then start calling in the news media.
Make it go viral.
Then sue the pants off them when they don't. :-)
“One person complained” is totally bogus. One anonymous complaint, and everybody else goes on record trying to defeat the decision. And gets ignored.
I’ll wager that the “anonymous complaint” is totally made up. Let that person stand up and speak out, like everyone else, and be accountable for your actions. “One person complained” is an excuse to take unilateral action on your own, while not accepting responsibility.
Second issue- what about Brazilian flags? Can they be flown? Mexico? Canada?
Then no authority behind it. Put up 3, 6, 57 US flags.
I didn’t see what country that happened in?-——but I’m pretty sure some genius is going to get a flag pole enema.
