“So what should Col. Barfoot do with the flag then, throw it on the ground?”
Perhaps he could fly it from a staff attached to his porch which apparently is allowed by the rules as there are others in his neighborhood who do just that.
Great point. I do wish people would actually research the issue rather than just react to headlines.
-The man is allowed to fly his flag
-The man is allowed to have a flagpole attached to his house
-The man asked to build this flagpole on community property and was told no
-The man built it anyway on land he does not own
-This is one of those weird neighborhoods where people own the home and not the land
Just a FYI:
This same issue came up in Florida when the HOA nazis tried to stop people from building flagpoles. The state passed a law that said HOA's could not stop people but...the pole would have to be built on the homeowners private property. So even supporters of flagpoles and enemies of HOA nazis recognize the fact that you need to build it on YOUR OWN PROPERTY!
