Sorry to hear that some moron would stoop to this level.

It is called freedom of speech.

I am so sorry that this has happened to anyone. I also feel really sorry for someone who is so miserable that their daily deeds seem to be to try to make everyone else miserable. If this person lives in our beautiful Villages, then doubly sorry.

Totally agree AND thank you for your service. It bothers me that people can’t just support their choice for president and let others have theirs. Why does a person have to say a candidate is a liar or be demeaning

DrBrutyle109 05-25-2020 06:21 AM
I respect you for your service, but why demean another.

DrBrutyle109 05-25-2020 06:21 AM
Freedom of speech is not destruction of property

Sorry for having to live next to moron.
 
Some people are just brain dead, others are taught.

The trolls were bad enough now this Crap. Disrespect personal property is really pushing the package. Sure hope this is not a sign of things to come. I to am a VET and this really ticks me off. Hope this person is caught!

I can't believe some people think like you do.

The same question about the trump flag. If you impose your political opinion on everyone else, and demand that they respect it - then you're being intolerant, and intolerable.

Take that particular flag down, and that particular sticker off, and I'm sure all your troubles will end. Just like if I put a JoeBiden flag on my flagpole, I'd expect some idiot to do something stupid as a result. You kind of have to be asking for trouble when you pull stunts like that.

tl;dr: don't force your opinion on your neighbors, and your neighbors will stop forcing theirs on you.

My friend in S Florida says this is occurring in her neighborhood but only Trump flags disappear. She previously had signs go missing and buys them in threes now and installed cameras. The trouble with going beyond polite speaking out is now sometimes rabid activism. Is that how we want to live and treat our neighbors? Install cameras. Thanks for posting.

You think that it was the U.S. flag they were after?

Bay Kid 05-25-2020 06:59 AM
Such a shame people hate the flag so much.

Vikingmickey 05-25-2020 07:00 AM
Does anyone in your area have cameras. Maybe they caught it and you can have the person prosecuted for trespassing and destruction of private property as they deserve!

This goes to prove it is not the flag... but often the imagination or interpretation not of the person who hangs a flag but the one passing by adding their own thoughts to it.
