Been here eight years and I have now seen it all.
 
I have an American flag with a Trump flag under it in the center of my flower garden. This morning some idiot pulled the flag pole over, broke the golden ball on top and damaged my pole that I just repaired. I guess I can see getting mad and pulling some home owners pole over but they also just disrespected a US flag on Memorial day weekend. Some are really sick. As a disabled veteran I am ashamed and hurt that we have come to this point.:shocked:

Please tell me you had cameras outside. If not check with neighbors. Such disrespect

Agree 100%. Too bad this disturbed person has to hide in the dark and do damage to boost his sick agenda.

To the vandal: “A house divided against itself, cannot stand.” (I know, Lincoln was not referring to a pandemic, but it applies to our situation now.)

I hope and pray the disrespectful and unpatriotic vandal who did this is found, arrested and imprisoned.

patfla06 05-24-2020 02:15 PM

That is totally outrageous.
Some people need mental health help.

TimeForChange 05-24-2020 02:36 PM

No cameras but I have considered getting them. I have an idea who did this because I saw them early this morning in front of their house as I was adjusting the flags. The pole is telescoping and I sometimes put it down low at night in case there is wind or rain. This person.....well I don't want to say anymore. Pure hate is evil.

Lock him up and throw away the key, or can we draw and quarter him.

First of all Thank You for your service!! You are the brave and honored one! The other person is jealous hateful and evil and should be punished. I am sorry that you have to endured him as a neighbor.

This is outrageous! Are you in The Villages?

Personally I do not like trump. However you have the right to have a flag that says trump. As for the American flag You should have a American flag flying. The worst part is that the person who did it. Went on to private property, damage private property . I agree that person should be found and the police notified.

davem4616 05-24-2020 05:25 PM

Wow, that guy had no right to do that...what a sicko

this is what scares me....that people are getting so 'jacked up' by the media hype that they are loosing it completely

I know how I would have reacted if someone tried to do that to something on my property and I saw it happening
