I disagree .... if this is "subsidized" housing, the owner is getting tax payer funds (often times extremely lucrative amounts) that pays much of his revenue. He, of all people should be proud to have a tenet that wants to fly the Stars and Stripes ...
I don't think there needs to be a law ... because if being a JERK was a felony, we'd have to lock up 25% of the population, conservatively.
But good grief ... what's the fracking harm in allowing a 70 year old veteran to hang an American flag on veterans day for cris sake.
A nation run totally by 5 year old children would demonstrate better sense.
What does his being a veteran have to do with the rules at all?
He's not special, he's just a veteran.
Just like people aren't special because they're parents, not parents, green, blue, black, white, etc.
Either you follow the rules, work to change the rules if you don't like them, or break the rules and pay the consequences.
That's what adults do.

Big deal.
You don't get everything you want in life.
If the "old man" can't figure that out, he should move.
With comments like this I don't think its worth fighting for this country.
Oh, are you in the military?
They're trying to downsize by 50,000. If you're in the military at the moment, it might be a good time to take an early out.
No one is fighting for this country. They're fighting for corporate interests, "he tried to kill my daddy" and the military industrial complex.
Tell me what we benefit from these wars.

Is this the way you respect our veterans? Old man, section 8 , hit the road. That's part of our problem in this countrry today. Some day you will be old too, that is if you live that long.
So it is OK to break the rules where you live because you are a veteran? Would you feel the same way if he wanted to fly any other flag BUT the US flag?
The OWNER of the property has every right to restrict or grant as many things as they'd like to in their lease.
If the RENTER wanted to live in a place where he could display the flag, then he can move.
I fought for the freedom of choice, and as the person who owns the house doesn't want a flag on it, I support their choice. I respectfully disagree with it, if it were my rental property, then I'd allow a flag to be displayed.
But its not my property, and as such it isn't mine or anyone elses business.
Exactly! I feel the same way.
When I moved to this city they had a law that you couldn't park a truck in your driveway after six. It had to be in the garage. I thought that was a stupid law but if I had a truck I would have obeyed it. They finally got rid of that because most of the trucks are nicer looking than many cars.

Please tell me where I said anything about the flag? I commented on his disrespect for a veteran of this country. Apparently you have a reading problem.

I don't see how this is disrespecting a veteran. While the rule is stupid it applies to everyone. How is it disrespectful to ask a veteran to follow the same rules everyone else must follow?

I'm all for peaceful resistence to stupid laws, like the truck law in which you speak.
Actually Michigan had similar laws, but it wasn't the drive way they were worried about, it was the plow trucks throwing stuff up and breaking windows, in which the city had to pay for. So just pass laws that says your vehicle has to be garaged or parked a specific distance away from the road.
I obeyed that law because it made sense. I disagree with the law, or the government mandating it though.
But for me, I smoke marijuana, something my government has said is illegal. But I peacefully resist. I use the system to try and change the system. I have no problem with peaceful protests either.

Again, I did not say anything about flying the flag. The poster I refered to called the guy old, section eight person that should hit the road.
