A decorated war veteran laying a flag on the ground?

:wtfru:


I agree that HOA are the devil. I rented a house with an HOA once and the whole neighborhood creeped me out.

Yeah...... lay the flag out on the ground? no boy scout or war veteran would dishonor the flag that way. I just cant see a man that probably grew up saluting as the flag is raised daily doing that.

Manufactured rage is right.

Don't like it? Don't live somewhere with an HOA

I feel bad for the guy...I am a veteren...I love America and I love what the flag represents BUT it is not his property...right ? He can put a flag on a pole attached to his house but not a 21 foot pole on community property. :idk:

I personally would not have a problem with him doing this if I lived there BUT there was an HOA with rules when he moved in there so they are well within their rights imho.

I wish they would make an exception to be honest BUT they are not obligated to.

Now if he put it on his house and they bitched, he would have my sympathies.

Condo/HOAs suck the dirty goats ass.
I have to agree with this - it sucks that they won't allow it (and IMO they are dumb for not allowing it) but he did move in to a place with a HOA...

If it's in the contract then that's the legal leg to stand on. If not, then it sucks to be them.

Our HOA allows flag poles. Sounds like this guy picked a shitty place to move in to. It pays to ask questions about the community rules before you buy. I'm not saying the HOA is right, those people are fucking whacked, but he should have done more homework on the HOA and their bogus rules.

Because it's written into the neighborhood coventants/bylaws that you sign before you purchase the place. :idk:

That way if you don't agree...you don't move in.

What I'm saying is, how can they possibly have jurisdiction? How is it legal? It's like another level of governance.

If they own the land it's private property and they have that right.

Do you allow someone to build something on your front lawn without your permission? If they did, you'd probably remove it, right? And you'd be within your rights as the land owner.
