Are you against the rights of private business owners to do as they please with their own property?

is there anything in the contract about not putting a flag on property THAT HE RENTS?

So you oppose the rights of businessmen to do as they please with their own business property?

if its in the contract that he can't put up a flag than fine. if not...than he should be able to if its not harming anyone else

American flag was a “threat to the Muslim community,”

There is a dispute involving his flying of the flag in an apt complex, but I don't believe the above was given to him as a reason. I think he's trying to get media attention.

I thought the same thing, but I feel like they would have said that to the reporter when they were questioned before they had them forcibly removed from the property. I would hope people have enough common public relations sense to at least say "that's not the reason we gave him."

We understand that the recent events surrounding the display of the United States Flag on the balcony railing has caused a great deal of consternation. We regret that the policies, consistent with the hotel and apartment industry, have created an incorrect perception that we are not supportive of patriotism.

Residents are allowed to display flags inside their balconies. However, tarps, tents, flags, towels or clothing are not permitted on or over the railing of balconies and patios in order to maintain an aesthetically consistent image.

We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable and pleasant living environment to our residents through service, attention to detail and exacting expectations. Our goal is to deliver a positive living experience for all of our residents and regret the misunderstanding.

We apologize for anything that may have been communicated regarding the policy that was offensive to Mr. Tran at The Lodge on El Dorado in Webster, Texas. We admire our resident’s patriotism and proudly display our Country’s flag at the entrance to our community.

Some awfully bad arguments posed in here by you two.

I'm confused to the reasoning here why our country's flag would be seen as a threat to a Muslim living here.

Are they terrorists and would have something to fear from the United States government?

Has not the United States government operating under that flag given them refuge?




BIGGER QUESTION....


Should WE feel threatened with a person who feels threatened by our very flag? Should that concern me most of all?

TUBA logic:

Man flies American Flag on his apartment balcony "Why do you oppose a property owner exercising his rights to do what he wants with his property"

Man refuses to bake cake for gay wedding or photograph it "Why do you think a person can do whatever he wants to with his business? There are rules and regulations to follow you know. Freedom of Speech does not mean freedom to discriminate"
