Fury as FDNY firefighters are forced to remove Stars and Stripes honoring 9/11 heroes after Democrat lawmaker branded it a 'fascist symbol

Fire Department brass ordered an East Village ladder company to remove its “red line” American flag honoring the squad’s six brothers killed on 9/11 – after a neighborhood resident complained it was “fascist” and a local lefty pol questioned whether it was a “politically charged symbol.”

The shocking order came March 22 after a man claiming he was a staffer for Democratic Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera confronted firefighters at Ladder Co. 11, sources said.

The man pedaled up to the East 2nd Street firehouse on a bicycle and told firefighters he worked for Rivera and that the councilwoman’s office “complained” to the FDNY three days earlier about the flag – which features a red stripe in tribute of firefighters injured or killed in the line of duty.

He called it a “fascist symbol” and demanded to know why it was still up, sources said.

Later the order was rescinded, but the fact it was ever implemented shows how mentally sick NYC and other regressive areas have become.

It seems like the offended neighborhood Karen should be removed.

First they came for the policemen
But I said nothing because I wasn’t a policeman
Then the came for the children
But I said nothing because I wasn’t a child
Then they came for the firemen…

“Councilwoman Carlina Rivera”

Tell the complaining “Karen” or “Ken” to come on over and take it down themselves. Come on, give it a try...we dare you.

Why do supposed good men, tough hard workin’ men let fat disgusting putas push them around? Maybe SHE is strong and maybe the FDNY are the ones we should be shaming.

Who are the boneheads with signs doing standing behind her and what are they referring to? Or do they even know?

So what does the Union have to say about this? They had better be on the side of the Firefighters and not some Commie hag.

Or if there was graffiti that said " I hate ---- and ---- and this is where I live if you have a problem with that".

The only people in this story who FAFO'd were the firefighters.

Order withrawn. Noted. Even so...

The Enemy is coming to break your spirit. They’re attacking “all that’s holy’ to most of us. They want you to give up, and throw in the towel by creating such insanity and disorder that all the “normal people” — (and, if THAT offends you, you’re already gone) — will withdraw into themselves to avoid all the noise, danger, and craziness.

This process gets to me sometimes, and suck the wind outta my sails — but then I realize that, and get back in the fight. And a fight it is. And to fight it, you will have some serious and heartbreaking losses. Institutions. Friends. Even relatives. In Bad Cases, close friends and close relatives may become simply intractable and unreasonable..

The Enemy does not fight fair. Never has, never will.
Not open to sweet reason, and totally intolerant.

In a word: crazy.

Do not expect Justice or Fairness from them.
