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.

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

I heard they are burning them to generate electricity.

If so, I hope we are upwind not downwind.

This year, the GOP workers are probably contacting both Latinos and Blacks. It’s the Trump way!

Carrying weapons is not illegal in Nevada. Why should flag poles be special?

Maybe because people like Antifa and BLM use them as weapons..........all the damn time! And while carrying a gun may be legal in Nevada I think you might be surprised at what isn't legal to walk around with if Nevada is like some other states. Should people be able to attend a protest carrying a baseball bat or do you think maybe the cops would have an issue with it? How about a machete? It's not just a weapon it's also a tool.

The reason for the ordinance had nothing to do with flags as the author said to get hits on their bullshit blog, that's what my post was about and here you are trying to turn it back to the bullshit articles lie.

Another case of the Police cleverly getting everybody on their side. Is there no order the clowns won’t execute?

They allow rioters to assault, rape, burn, steal and murder.

Nevada is not like those other states. Even in those tyrannical states, BLM and Antifa figured out how to make deadly weapons from things like skateboards, bricks and water bottles. Regulating flag poles is preposterous when molotov cocktails are tolerated.

Uh; it’s an anti-mask protest. Not a BLM/Antifa riot.

Completely different type person and mindset.

They should fly the flags anyway while carrying AR-15s

You and I know that, but evidently this is what the scene looked like to Sgt. Blum.
