Clark County Nevada Bans American Flag Waving
Red White and F You ^ | 8/29/2020 | Mindy Robinson

Posted on 08/29/2020 1:56:08 PM PDT by Boomer

Last week at a No Mask Nevada rally in Henderson, the organization’s president Melissa Blundo (pictured to the left of me above) was informed by a Sgt. Blum from Metro that waving American flags were now “illegal.”

Shocked, he informed her that only tiny hand-sized flags were allowed. When asked “why” the officer responded, that flags have been banned as a “safety concern” because they could be used as “weapons.” An interesting concern about a thin piece of PVC pipe, given the fact that many patriots show up open-carrying pistols and rifles.

Governor Sisolak is a full blown leftist tyrant and control freak of the first order.

Even California is now saying that masks are not that useful to avoid CV-19.

They are advocating physical distancing and washing of hands.

Well Sgt.

Let’s see you summon the courage to throw away your integrity and give a man summons for being an American...

Does that mean that the rainbow flag has been banned as well? (Somehow, I don't think so.)

That would not be ‘burning’.

They would convert them to fiberglass to construct wind turbines.

These people are NUTS!

It’s becoming more and more difficult to read or watch the “news” anymore. Every day is another historic further demonstration of idiocy.

Limits the size of poles.

What!

Large Poles vs small Poles.

Is ‘large’ tall, or just fat?

What is the demographic average size of a Pole?

Nevada: A cancerous product of California given it is utterly filled with Leftist people who bailed California after turning it into cancer.

Someone ought to choke this stooge with it and use the stick to poke him in the eye.

This is another sign that Democrats know they are going to lose Nevada. https://www.newsweek.com/nevada-could-michigan-2020-democrats-warn-1527868 this article tell of a 98% unemployment rate among Hispanic hotel workers. That has lead to NO UNION DUES MONEY and that means NO GOTV MONEY. IT says the Nevada Hispanic Democrats have a phone bank outreach staffed by 70 people. SEVENTY!!!! The article also points out that Republicans have at least 3500 volunteers in Nevada and have already made 1,8 million voter contacts. It says that none of these voter contacts have been made to Hispanics but that is an obvious lie. There is no enthusiasm for Biden in Nevada.
Banning the flag could be the final nail in Biden’s Nevada coffin.

Why do people post lies to inflame? the ordinance was passed much earlier than the article states,months? and hasn't anything to do due with banning flags American or otherwise, it regulates the thickness of of the flag poles so that they can't be used as weapons.

There's enough real issues out there with out some blog jerk making things up.

I’m sure waving the BLM and Antifa flags would still be correct, yes?

If it’s Clark County, sounds more like a problem with the County Council, Executive or Sheriff, rather than the onerous fly-by-night vote-by-mail Sisolak.
