He Won't Take Down His Banners

[MinTrut]

This has nothing to do with the state. It's a local ordinance. You do realize there are varying levels of government, right? And I can assure there are places in your "deep blue state" where he also would not be allowed to do it.

Thread.

Thread.

It’s not. The local government here is deep red. County board is 5/5 Republican.

 

[Mr Natural]

It’s an upscale neighborhood!

People pay big money in property taxes and shouldn’t be forced to look at that crap.

 

[Faun]

Okay. And?

In response to someone pointing out right-leaning Florida is supposedly a "bastion of freedoms," you pointed out this is a local issue not a state issue. That's true but ignores the fact that Walton County is very red and speaks to that other posters point about Republicans.

Wrong.
I realize it does lower property values and is annoying, but the city is the one in violation of the Constitution.
The banners have to be legal.

Irrelevant.
Political speech is paramount over all levels of government.
The only way the city would have a point is if it had flashing lights, music, etc.

Not a single Republican on the county board, Dumbass.

But they voted for Trump and can’t stand him! Dude. Can’t have an honest conversation with people who just lie cause they’re rugs!

How does it bring down property values?

 

[Clipper]

I'd pay the fines for two or three months if I knew how to contact him.

Don't any of those people have jobs?

 

[Clipper]

Seems some conservative stepped up to pay the fines for two years, Dumbfuck.

Are you ever not an idiot?

Let the attention seeking clown have his pretty little banners. Once he gets bored with his act & the herd stops paying attention he'll quietly take them down.

And that, will be that.

 

[BrokeLoser]

Hilarious. You guys have been talking about how Florida is such a bastion of freedoms.

In my deep blue state, dude could hang whatever banner he wants and no one cares. People in these snobby older communities have a real stick up their ass when it comes to personal expression.

Is that the same blue state that offers sanctuary to illegal aliens, allows degenerates to shit on sidewalks and provides needles at slam stations for degenerates?

Maybe they have the same job your pussy hat people have…huh?

Some day a gust of wind will blow your friends banners over to the next county. Then you & the herd will find something else to twist your panties.

Trump lost. Thanks!

It's his right to be stupid on his own property. I don't see how the county prevails in this case.

Whilst that should be the case, particularly when we are talking about political speech, it really is not in my experience. Localities exercise great control over your property, particularly in higher end areas.

I will never understand the draw for this kind of local stricture, I could care less what asinine thing you place on your property, but most people generally disagree with me on that. The closer you get to the people, the more arbitrary the government powers become.

Yes they should.
That is the whole point.
It is a guaranteed constitutional right.
There is no legal way to complain about political posters or banners.

But arbitrary edicts in violation of the Constitution are fascist and need to be resisted with violent force, or no rights will survive at all.

It's not Panama City Florida, it's not even in the same county. It's Walton County on Hwy. 30A. It's very exclusive and they don't allow banners, you can't even have a chain restaurant in South Walton. It's a meeting pot of wealthy Americans and a lot of Europeans. I live right by where the banner hangs. It's huge and a little over the top but if it makes liberal heads explode I can live with it.

From what I understand it's making rightard heads explode.

 

[OKTexas]

Trump Won
Let's Go Brandon

The left has their insurrections and the right has their banners

Banners are more first Amemdment than riots

The folks running the show had best make sure their sign ordnance complies with this SCOTUS ruling or the man may have a case against them for harassment.

To quote a "friend " of ours, loosely, "Let the attention seeking clowns have their pretty little hats".
