Steve Roberts from Santee, CA has been told by apartment managers that he can’t fly his American flag inside his apartment and refuses to renew his lease until he takes it down.
Even though flying the flag abides by the rules set forth in his lease and even though he even obtained permission beforehand, it seems that when new management took over their district office demanded the flag be removed.
This is the 3rd such case we’ve seen recently where our American Flag is somehow deemed ‘offensive’. One case where a man was fined $8000 dollars for having a tiny flag out of his flowerpot, another where students couldn’t fly our flag on Cinco de Mayo, and yet another where a man was told he couldn’t fly the flag as it might offend Muslims.
This is ridiculous!!!!!!! he can do whatever he wants inside his apartment, that is why he pays rent!!!! I hope he fight it!!! Take on a petition from all the neighbors!!!!!

“This is the only The Oaks Apartments I can find in Santee, CA. The phone number is: (866) 486-7791. I will call them in the morning.

Can we start a ground swell of emails and phone calls? An Apartment Complex is not capable of making a decision, there is an individual somewhere that has the power to oppress this individual. That person needs to understand how many other people are pissed at this attempt to placate some unfounded fear.”

Sorry, there’s a huge difference between “flying a flag” and using the flag as a curtain – as depicted. It is disrespectful to the flag – I don’t care what your beliefs are. Some of you ought to look up flag etiquette before you get all puffed up. Most of you don’t know wtf you’re talking about. Many of you seem to suffer from an acute case of “jingoism”. You’ll probably need to look that up as well.
It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks about him using that flag as he is doing. WHO has the right to tell him what he can or cannot do in his own apartment, as long a he isn’t breaking any laws or ordinances? That landlord can be sued for this easily.
