LAFAYETTE, La. (NEWS 15) — Lafayette Consolidated Government Public Works crews have removed flags that were put up on public light poles along Brentwood Boulevard in October.

The city-parish attorney said the flags were put up without LCG's permission and posed a liability risk if they were to fall off the poles.

Those flags depicted various branches of the military, along with the thin blue line. Complaints were filed with LCG, prompting the removal.

Some residents who support the flags say they plan to show up and complain at the Lafayette City Council meeting on Tuesday.

Not a chance they were put up without LCG permission. A bucket truck was required to install them, and joe blow just doesn’t have one of those laying around. Perfect for the Lafayette people, those dipshites elected a democrat Blanco

Easy day. Find out who put them up, help them fill out the paperwork to put them up, put them back up.

Instead we will get days of people yelling at politicians and politicians making excuses and finger pointing and news stories.

Mayor needs to step forward and just fix the problem.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.

Someone needs to get a hold of Governor Landry and ask him if he’s going to sit by and allow Mayor Blanco Boulet to trample all over the United States of America.

Yep.


I wish every resident on that road would put up the flags on the front of their homes just to watch the Reddit melt.

They're more than welcome to do that on their private property

Please do that instead of posting them on public property.

If the govt allows their poles to become some sort of public forum, the local residents will shite their pants when the Pride flags and Satanic Temple banners start going up.

City was in no rush to remove the ones put up downtown on their poles last year.

You say that about supporting the flags but I say the same about people who took the time to bitch about them

I'm all for flying the Flag.

But this shite was ridiculous. There were two flags on every light pole on the street.

This is on par with Gov Landry getting a tiger in the stadium. Our government needs to get an idea of what the important issues are this is ridiculous.

I live in the neighborhood. Doctor who lives a street over from me is retired and put them all up himself with a ladder. Had neighbors help him sometime but he did it mid mornings over the course of a couple months. Extremely nice guy and always doing stuff for neighbors. He paid for all of the flags and equipment himself. Word on the street is a local lawyer is who filed the complaint.
