Recently, in Texas, a man had to actually defend his right to have his American flag hanging from his balcony. Why? Because it supposedly felt like a threat to the Muslim community.
Duy Tran, in an interview with KHOU, told reporters that many of his friends fought and died for our country. Hanging the flag on his balcony was in honor of his friends after moving to Webster, Texas. The second he hung it up, management told him to tear it down. Tran was astonished! “What really stunned me is that she said it’s a threat towards the Muslim community,” he explained, “I’m not a threat toward nobody.”
The manager of Tran’s apartment complex, the Lodge at El Dorado, said that all displays must conform with the community guidelines. She stated, “Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents. The apartment community already proudly displays our country’s flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community.”
Tran still insisted on hanging his flag proudly; “I’m gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I don’t have the right to leave my flag there.”
This is 2016 America for you. Now we live in a time where you can’t even hang the American flag IN AMERICA without it being threatening to someone.
