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.

Any relation to Geraldo? Whatever. Who died and made her king/queen/head b!tch/whatever.
Figures.
Thank you for that, but my premise was that HE should have told them to GTH! Who’s going to enforce it? Obviously, he could get canned, but my presumption is that if you’re going to risk your life running toward and climbing in burning towers, you can handle the heat of these woosey bureaucrats. As an aside, it seems we have all the balls in the world when Muslims fly planes into buildings, but whimper when democrats take our children, jail our patriots, and use lawfare to destroy our voice and our rights.
Totally agree.
One interesting (and depressing) thing about this story is how exactly one unhinged liberal can move mountains. One complaint, and the world is turned upside down to accommodate her.
Yet should a conservative complain about something, she is ignored. Or worse, she is punished. A good example is that older woman who complained about a biological man being in the women’s locker room. As a result, the gym banned her from the establishment.
The biological man? Free to stay in the women’s locker room.
The Chief has no balls.
Evil triumphs when good men don't fight it. . .
comply? This is a case requiring buttflinging if I ever heard of one? Who even hangs around and listens or otherwise tolerates this kind of cheap krap? Not in my ‘hood.
She was another “community organizer”.
That's the answer.
Then also take down/out all democRATS statues/references to anything they don’t like.
Get Invaders that hate America, out of America.
That was my first thought reading this. To me that is the biggest problem, not these leftists. Leftist assholes are always going to exist, but if people do not fight back then these leftists win. It’s why the DemoMarxists are getting away with so much today, the Republican party literally does nothing.
“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”
In a just world, the story would continue with:
The firefighters in response opened up with a fire hose knocking the crybaby over and washing him down the street like the rubbish he is.
Only after throwing in grenades and killing everyone around it...
STOP COMPLYING WITH THIS CRAP!
That is not an American flag, appropriate for management and city to say if it may or may not be flown. Demanding it, will that lead to flying a “pride” flag, a BLM flag, etc.?
Maybe we should start a fund for the fighters to get these skins created and applied to their vehicles.
“Thank you for your opinion… now, shove it up your ass…”
The FDNY brass threatened to ID and discipline the firefighters who dissed Leticia James. Now this. So what if this outrageous order was rescinded? The mere fact they capitulated to some leftist Karen shows what a bunch of gutless wonders they are who put wokenss ahead of supporting the firefighters. What are the balless cucks gonna do for an encore?😖🤬🤬🤬
Rent a mob.
Seriously. It’s an industry.
