Apartment Complex Bans Soldier’s Small Flag Display
Western Center for Journalism ^ | February 2, 2013 | Christopher Agee

Just months after returning from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan, U.S. Army National Guard veteran Tyler Barge was embroiled in another fight defending the American flag. This time, it involves the management of his Salem, Va. apartment complex.

A small American flag, displayed in a cup of dirt on his patio wall, is a violation of the building’s code, he was told.

Barge received a notice informing him he must remove the flag, along with a few other items – a broom and table, for instance – deemed inappropriate.

Move ASAP and put the word out that this landlord needs to be run out of business or let him rent to the thugs and section 8 only.

Why would anyone find a flag offensive, unless displayed inappropriately? I find people offensive.

Section 8 only? Section 8 is ruling this country. Section 8 is the reason he is being crapeded-ed upon.

Put up some ugly green flag with squiggly lines and couple swords on it and see if the apartment management has the guts to demand he remove THAT!

Or the Mexican flag.

Or some black power Kwanzaa pseudo-African flag.

Or a rainbow flag.

Enough is enough. America is for Americans and if someone doesn’t like it, they can leave or die fighting us.

Maybe he should try a Mexican flag, just to see if he gets the same admonition.
