Take your wanker picture and stuff it. Whatta crock.
So you were in the Marines. Whoppe. I served too. Big deal.
Basically everyone did in the ole days ,but that wasn't a excuse to break the rules and stuff you agenda down your neighbors throats.
Respect yoyr community bud. As a vet I find this photo and personal agenda offensive.
Don't like the American flag you commie, than GET THE **** OUT YOU ****TARD!!!!!!!  :bird:

And if you "freedom-lovers" don't like HOAs, just wait until that "desperate to be noticed" middle-aged man (maybe like this guy and certainly like millions of others) next door gets his Harley and starts it up at 6:00 AM. You'll get a clue fast! Much like this guy, his "freedom" involves bending you to his will, just like any dictator anywhere that America is fighting against! People love to talk about "freedom" - their own and no one else's!
If you read the article, the flag is facing the park. Are you illiterate or something?????????  ::)

I'm a flag-loving vet just as much as the Marine in this article, but he read and signed the HOA agreement before closing on his house, and knew what the rules were. If he didn't agree with the rules, he should have sought residence somewhere where the HOA agreement was less stringent.
I call BS on this one. :bs: Sounds like a poser to me. Hey moron, there is a law that supercedes HOA rules.

I'm sure the Marines had rules Mr. Merola had to follow. Why does he feel he gets to break rules now, pride or no pride? It seems like a double-standard to me.
There is something called the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005. Read it!

From the legal perspective, he most likely will not prevail. He has entered into the covenants with the HOA and case laws have demonstrated to repeatedly rule for the HOA. The issue is not that he can't fly our country flag with pride in his back yard. It's the act of breaching the agreed guidelines that is at issue.
Au contraire. It is facing a park, which is public space.

What a selfish individual. So because he was poor, disadvantaged or foolish enough to fight in conflicts that were none of his business he feels he has to force his beliefs and needs onto others he expects to be neighbours. Is his pride in his country so vulnerable and needy that he has to keep them up all night and tower above them? When people view fabric over flesh and blood, it shows the degeneracy of what had once been a caring and civilised country.

I think you should always be able to display the flag. However, people who buy property and then immediately start litigation against the HOA are, almost without exception, a bunch of troublemaking pricks. In this case, the HOA restrictions allow display of the flag. If this guy wasn't a DUmmy jerk, he could have shown the flag and been a good neighbor at the same time. Instead, he chose to be a DUmbass looking for attention, and a nightmare of a neighbor.

But they will fight to the death to have a parade of a hundred homos skating naked in the middle of the city.

The f*ckwads worship depravity and vulgarity over heroism and service.

Did any of these idiots actually read the article?

There have been no complaints, only praise and admiration! Seems to me if it's a-okay with the residents, maybe it's the HOA that has their head up their collective asses!

Besides, looks to me like the way the law is written, which says, in part, that a homeowners association "may not adopt or enforce any policy … that would restrict or prevent a member of the association from displaying the flag." Key word bein RESTRICT! Looks pretty plain to me!!!

Bend over and kiss yer ass HOA! Looks like playin nanny stater is gettin' ya ready for a ****in'!
