Can you guys believe this shit? I would be fucking pissed and would sell my house if this happen to me:
These stories are becoming more frequent and quite frankly, it’s a damn shame!
A Georgia Marine combat veteran, Capt. Jim Lowe, has lost his appeal to fly both the American and Marine colors outside of his home in the Sun City-Peachtree Retierment community. The community has strict “rules” regarding decorations, that limit flag displays to one flag.
“When a bunch of arbitrary rules trump the Constitution, it’s a sad date because indeed a piece of America is lost,” Lowe said

A retired Georgia combat veteran has lost his fight to fly his American flag and U.S. Marine Corps colors outside his home in an Atlanta-area retirement community.
MyFoxAtlanta.com reports that the board of directors at Marine Capt. Jim Lowe’s community in Griffin voted against changing a rule on outside decorations that threatened his patriotic display.
Sun City-Peachtree’s codes state that each home in the retirement community can only have one flag, but Lowe fought the rule, arguing that the traditional Marine Corps battle color is not a flag.
Lowe told the station in July that he received a code violation notice from management informing him that he and his wife would face fines of up to $25 a day and a possible lien on his home if he did not remove one of the flags.
“When a bunch of arbitrary rules trump the Constitution, it’s a sad date because indeed a piece of America is lost,” Lowe told MyFoxAtlanta.com after the board made its decision.
The board released a statement to MyFoxAtlanta.com saying in part, “A recent poll of residents asking their opinion about a possible change in the number of flags permitted indicated no overwhelming preference for a change in the governing documents.”
