It also sounds like she should go the the HOA board with the demand that she face the complainant.....and when they refuse to do that, she should tell them to shove their threats up their collective bungholes, and accuse them of fabricating the whole thing.

Well that’s just about the size of a piece of paper, a little longer. In a second floor window. I don’t really see who would be bothered by this. If she had a Let’s Go Mets sign or something like that, would that be OK? I mean that really wouldn’t bother me, even if I hated that team.

The only signs that bother me are the “it’s a boy/girl” signs, I think those are very dangerous, you should not be advertising that you have a newborn child. If you want to put it up for one day maybe, but we had neighbors who had the sign up so long I figured the kid must have been in first grade by the time it came down.

Nothing better than a flaming billet. Five pounds of crap in a one pound bag.

This happens more often than you might think all across this country...

HOA’s are run by petty tyrants.

“Mother of army vet who hung flag for him INSIDE her house told to take it down by neighbors”

Doesn’t sound deceptive to me.

The headline is deceptive. The flag is not really displayed inside her home. The flag is facing outside the front window.

I think your take on where the flag is located is 'deceptive'. The flag is inside the window. It does not matter which way it is facing.

She needs to tell the HOA goons to go to H3LL!

I think the problem is that we “can’t” say what needs to be said to these whiners. It involves a few words that begin with the letter F.

Since when is 8” x 14” “tiny”? And yes, i fully support her. I was just picturing a REALLY tiny flag when I clicked the article.

Compared to what the flag nazis usually bitch about, pole flown/mounted flags, it is tiny! I place larger flags than that on my Father in Law's grave. These people bitching about a tiny little American Flag in a window need a ticket the hell out of America.

I remember seeing many of these flags in my neighborhood as a kid during WW II. When I read articles like these I shed tears, and end up with inner rage. My country, WTF have these people done to it? Someone needs a good hard boot in the butt.

That is not a flag. It is a banner for mothers with loved ones serving in the military. I bought one for my mom when I was in Iraq. The blue star represents the loved one is serving. If the loved one is killed the star gets changed to gold. This is IN her house and they have no right to tell her to take it down.

I would now paint my house red white and blue and adorn it with American flags
