Since when did it become offensive to display the American flag in America? According to Webster, TX resident Duy Tran, that is precisely what he has been told by his apartment complex management. They have told him that he must remove the flag because it was a “ threat to the Muslim community.” (Watch Video Below)
KHOU, the CBS affiliate in Houston, reports on this demand by the Lodge on El Dorado. After moving into the community, Tran proudly hung an American flag from his balcony. He says the flag means a lot to him because he has had a lot of friends who have died defending it.
Tran says he was shocked when the apartment manager told him the American flag had to be taken down. He said, “What really stunned me is that she said it’s a threat towards the Muslim community. I’m not a threat to anybody.”
The station reports that, upon asked for the manager’s account of what happened, the property had an officer escort them off of the property and only provided the following statement.
While the Lodge on El Dorado admires our resident’s patriotism, we must enforce our property rules and guidelines. Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents. The apartment community already proudly displays our country’s flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community.
KHOU indicates that there were numerous other patriotic symbols that could been seen on balconies throughout the property. Tran insists that he will not remove his American flag stating, “I’m gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I don’t have the right to leave my flag there.
Close to Johnson Space Center and in the flight path for Ellington air field. Now who’s the threat again?
Reason #269 why the libtards wish to drive the middle class out of single family homes and into densely packed condos and apartments where they will be subject to the rules of their managers.
Duy Tran..... Must be a red neck white cracker ‘murican....
Right?????
Used to live at an apartment mega-complex in San Jose CA that once sent out an internal flyer banning guns or handguns, can’t recall which.
Wish I’d have kept that notice for its sheer chutzpah value.
It’s a good thing LTC George Armistead didn’t worry about offending the British at the Battle of Ft McHenry
Possibly a Hmong immigrant from Viet Nam? A lot of them died fighting the NVA and Viet Cong.
There’s also single family hoising HOA’s that have stupid rules about flags.
hoising should be housing
maybe a bacon banner would be decorative.
mmmm. bacon.
The moslems are the ones posing a threat threat towards the American community
So if THEY fly the Flag, it's NOT a threat to anybody, but if TRAN flies the Flag, it IS.
Okay, got it...
Wow, I wouldn’t want to be the apartment manager of that place when word gets out the place is full of Muslims and is anti-patriot to boot. There goes her quarterly incentive bonus.
What she is really saying is that the apartment complex is unsafe for Americans due to the presence of Muslims and offending them with a flag is like a matador waving a red flag in front of a bull.
Who is the ‘she’, who cannot be named? I’d like to know.
VJ her initials, maybe?
I plan on flying a “Join or Die” flag on Independence Day. Should be interesting if I get any reaction from the HOA or neighbors. Nobody has said anything about flying the First Navy Jack or the Taunton Flag. ... Yet.
IMHO, single family HOAs are even worse than the apartment and condo options since you have to pay insanely high fees in addition to being subject to fascist rules.
Oh Lord. Please.
Reminds me. I need to go get a new American flag
