That right there is the front gate at a Flint, MI home on Carpenter Road in northeast Flint. The flags were apparently proudly placed by a new, unnamed resident who has refused both interview and comment for more than a month now.
The flags are, to say the least, controversial. The graphic symbolism of the Nazi Flag, which features the “hakenkreuz”, or swastika, is an incontrovertable symbol of hate and intolerance which is associated with Hitler’s Nazi Party and various neo-Nazi groups (you can read the “Wiki” explanation here). The Confederate Flag, perhaps not as hateful as the swastika but still quite insulting to many, was designed and rejected as the U.S. national flag in 1861, was instead adopted as the U.S. Civil War “battle flag” of the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee and came to symbolize that part of U.S. (which did NOT include Michigan) which compromised the the pro-slavery contingent that intended to secede from the Union (you can read the “Wiki” explanation here). Choosing to fly either flag, or both flags, on one’s property is an exercise of personal freedom, specifically freedom under the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
While this douche bag (and other douche bags) are free to fly their flags the 1st Amendment does not provide blanket protection to say or to display anything that you wish, anywhere at anytime (the classic examples being “you cannot shout ‘fire’ in a movie theater” and “you cannot say ‘bomb’ in an airport ” – see an absolutely, perfectly demonstrative video of this fact here). Apart from not being constitutionally permitted to cause a “clear and present danger” you are also not permitted to incite lawlessness, to make “false statements of fact”, to appeal to the “prurient interest”, to engage in or promote child pornography, to use “fighting words” or “threatening” words or to use “words ‘owned’ by others” (see Wiki “free speech exceptions here).
Sadly, in our society there are simply…
Memo to the Folks: Just because you can exercise your “freedom of speech” does not mean that you should exercise your freedom of speech. Again…
If the flag flying Flint, MI resident isn’t example enough of what not to do, then take a look at this ultimate douche bag below. If you happen to see him (in Florida) and decide to “tune him up” then I will defend you pro bono (for free). Again, just because you can exercise your “freedom of speech” does not mean that you should exercise your freedom of speech.
