No but a privately owned Marina can. Don't think they can kick him out of a bay, but they can reuse to let him tie up to their overnight mooring lines.

Is that a Confederate flag or a state flag? What's the white shite on the top half?

The USVI should realize that the Confederate flag is useful, like neck tattoos and truck nuts, for spotting the assholes that reasonable people want to avoid.



Lol. I've heard people in my family day the same thing countless times.

Is even that legal? I'm sure it wouldn't fly if it was a rainbow flag or some other flag the private owner didn't like.

I don't know much about boats. How many tens of millions would that thing cost? That thing is plenty big to cross oceans in?

Bigots. Raised on hear say and platitudes by yankees. When did they give up slavery?

The United States Virgin Islands, often abbreviated USVI, is a group of islands and cays in the Caribbean to the east of Puerto Rico. Consisting of three larger islands (Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas plus fifty smaller islets and cays, it covers approximately 133 square miles (340 km2). Like many of its Caribbean neighbors, its history includes native Amerindian cultures, European exploration followed by subsequent colonization and exploitation, and the enslavement of Africans.

Guess I'll just go to Ebay, buy an ISIS flag, and fly that instead. Because, you know, of the two flags, you can only buy one nowadays and apparently that one doesn't represent divisiveness, bigotry, slavery, or oppression. LOL.

So the USVI is against the First Amendment rights of private citizens... I think the infatuation with the confederate flag is absolutely stupid, but frick the USVI for trying to curb freedom of speech.

Oh really? So they can refuse the confederate flag but a bakery can't refuse a gay couple's wedding cake?

You see the problem here?

Btw I think both refusals are stupid.
