UNBELIEVABLE! Illinois authorities demand that private homeowner remove small 9/11 Memorial plaque, saying it is “obsolete”

SEPTEMBER 8, 2019 BY BARENAKEDISLAM

If they don’t remove it within 14 days, they will keep getting fines of up to $500.00. So, I guess for America-hating leftists, remembering 3,000 Americans who were murdered by Muslims has now become obsolete?

Go to the original post to read the actual letter which mentions (-11 memorial specifically also picture of the rather high quality memorial is shown. This is happening in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois. This town boats the largest marina on the Great Lakes and is at the corner of Ill and Wisconsin north of Chicago.

The Mayor is Dr. Mike Bruno PN is 847-872-3846 X 1025

There are a lot more pn's at the town government website at:

https://www.whpd.org/village/

and you can e-mail each and every town council member as well.

If you’ve already got over 14 centuries of naked Muslim aggression and conquest, the dopulation of whole regions, piracy, slaving and terrorism what’s a few thousand Americans more or less? /s

Well, then I can only assume Labor Day (late 1800s) and MLK Day (died 1968) are straight out, right?

The Fed can enforce Republican free speech in leftist jurisdictions. Just as it did for black free speech in segregationist jurisdictions.

They are REALLY stretching the ordinance here. It says “…within ten days of rather cessation of such business or sale of such product that renders the sign obsolete…”

The ordnance is clearly intended to cover business or private “For Sale” signs, not memorials, to prevent the town from being an eyesore. If they interpret it to cover memorials, then ALL war memorials and other civic memorial signs would have to come down. Does the town have a “Founded in 18XX” sign? That’s obsolete and has to come down. Do any city buildings have cornerstones with the founding date on them? Obsolete. Is there an IOOF sign on a building? Obsolete and has to come down.

What a loon who dreamt this up. No doubt some insane leftist.

How to talk common sense into these people, I have no idea. However, having their contact info will make it a whole lot easier!

The sign is obsolete? Did we miss a miracle here? Are the 3000+ alive again? Did the buildings fall back up? Did the airliners back out of the towers?

What’s the problem, is it creating more localized distracted driving?

It is IL, where patriotism has been in peril for decades.

I noticed the same thing. The homeowners should contact Pacific Legal Foundation and see if they are interested in helping.

The town council/mayor are so far over the line tromping on private property rights it’s ridiculous. I bet they would back down in a hot minute with the right legal encouragement. PLF backs a lot of ninnies down off the cliff when their legal counsel tells them they can’t afford the cost of Supreme Court litigation they are destined to lose.

This town should take the picture of the town idiot who complained and whomever sent the letter and post them on a billboard outside town with a big letters and pictures that say “Beware of our town idiots” with their pictures for all to see.

How about just telling them NO. If they want reporters following them day and night they might wise up.

The rules never apply to the rulers, you know that.

The 3000 Americans killed are a drop in the Mussulman bucket of estimated 300,000,000 murdered by them over the last 1400 years.
