Hopefully for him it's the latter.

Can a staff be too tall?

What's offensive about it? There are too many busybodies whose sole purpose is to look for something that offends them. Go out on a limb and meet this person and get to know him. Listen without judging. You might learn something..

What a concept.

In this beautiful place we live you have time to be concerned about a flag at half mast? My advice....GET A FREAKING HOBBY!

Maybe the mast rope is tangled or broken And the flag will not go all the way up???

And if we ask and this is true perhaps one could help fix the problem.

I have been traveling the East Coast in my RV. Many places are flying their flags at half staff. Especially here in New York State where I am now. It is to honor those first responders who are having to deal with Covid. You people really do live in a bubble!

Why don’t you ask him? Maybe he’s lost a son or grandson or grand daughter in the military and he is still mourning their loss.

Very true. The Villages are wonderful but it is filled with retired, sometimes bored older people who fill their time tailing their neighbors or driving thru neighborhoods just to find something wrong. Get a job or get a hobby but stop spying on everyone

[Denvercane]

And I find your post offensive. What a little person you are to question this on a public board. A guess you think that you are the "flag" police. You need to find a life

Anything is better than a limp staff

The president, through a presidential proclamation, a state governor, or the mayor of the District of Columbia can order flags to fly at half-staff. That’s it.

So what exactly bothers you, the flag itself or its being at half mast?
