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.


bro, those things are going up at city halls and embassies all across the world. the only reason this is a story is because they aren’t pride flags

I was in DC last year during “Pride Month” and every government building was awash in flags and signs. There were more pink flags than US flags and it wasn’t close.

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


I live on one of the streets where the flags were hung. Two flags on every pole on the boulevard so they could be seen, whether traveling north or south. Singles were placed on poles on the remaining streets.

He did it for the children, some of whom began learning about the different branches of the armed forces because of these flags.

My woke neighbor complained that the Thin Blue Line flags Dr. Budden hung when Cpl. Jolivette was killed in the line of duty are racist, and that is when the trouble began.

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.


I can't really blame the cp attorney. Gordon probably has a couple of flag falling billboards up on hwy 90.

Yea I watched them put the flags up. Just a couple of retired guys hanging flags up with a ladder.

I want to know who the complaint is coming from. Those peoples lives should be made more miserable than they already are.

'Without the governments permission'

One of the worst statements ever

American's love to tell other people what to do and think

Nice to see Public Works getting out and about. You would think they didn't exist how our streets are crumbling at such an alarming rate.

The issue people had was the thin blue line flags, not the military flags.

I don’t disagree. If it ain’t an official flag, don’t fly it on public property. When they put up a rainbow flag it needs to come down too.

The person I am referencing spoke at the LCG meeting last night. I wonder how he would feel if he knew the previous owner of his house is a former policeman who proudly displayed a blue light on the front porch.

How hard is it to just keep public areas clean. These flags, pride flags, all other non-us/state flags should be taken down.
