Veteran Larry Murphfree from Jacksonville, FL was fined $8000 and had a foreclosure lien placed on his home for putting a small American flag in his flowerpot – even though he had a legal right to do so. If he doesn’t pay within 30 days he might lose his home.
“I want it to go away. It’s such a minor little thing and they keep coming after me,” he explained.
“They” is Murphree’s homeowner’s association. He’s lived in the Sweetwater community for years, and been at odds with the HOA for more than two. All over a flag. The veteran decided to put one in his flower pot, and has been fined as a result.
“They just sent me a letter that says I owe them around $8,000 and they put a foreclosure lien on my house,” he continued.
Action News wanted to know how that’s possible, so we took our questions to legal and safety expert Dale Carson.
“There’s an actual Florida statute that says he can display this flag,” Carson said.
Federal law from 2005 also backs that up. We reached out to the law office that reprsents the HOA and got attorney Michelle Haines. She tells me if payment is not made within 30 days, the law office can move forward with foreclosure on Murphree’s home. – See more at: http://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/news/local/veteran-may-lose-home-over-flag-fight/ngRCt/#sthash.OTe76VXL.dpuf
Exactly, Edward….if you voluntarily sign a contract you are responsible for meeting the terms.
This is OUR country. Do we have to take it back again?
Crazy!
You sounded like an HOA adverti$#%&!@*t. So i said what i thought, As far as any contract, i would read it thoroughly a few times, before i would even consider signing anything like that. Too much legalese, and not enough plain English. Bad enough anyone has to fork out a large sum for a place to live, on top of all the taxes and regulations. Having to add more cost, more regulations, and less control, makes the situation even worse. Little by little, our freedoms are being taken away-in the public and private sectors. And the costs $#%&!@*ociated with it keep going up, as well. Seems to be a never ending battle to retain our individuality. I do consider myself a law abiding citizen. What i don’t like is when people try to control your every little movement and thoght. That is not the way things should be. And i stand firmly in favor of that. I’m sure that you do, too.
American flag should be mandatory for all!
More Extreme, MUST SEE, “News” from the guys that really care about you! (EDIT…this one has a copy-write!!!!)
Wanna know how you can figure out who REALLY has your back when it comes to politics and Facebook pages like this…?
…The guy that isn’t getting paid.
One thing I have noticed about the guys that have a lot of “likes”… They all want you to click on a “news article” or a web-page.
Do you guys know what a “Web Hit Counter” is? (Google it)
They use hit counters to track the number of people that have “clicked” on a web page. They then use those numbers to determine how much an advertiser has to pay to post an ad on their web-page.
Kinda like this link they are asking you to click on… Click the link and look around and check out how many ads are on this web-page… (I have some pretty good ad-blockers and I still see half a dozen ads.)
(Fun fact, most of you just read the headlines, look at the pretty/horrible picture, and click like with out bothering to actually research it.) (They are actually counting on that, NOBODY wants you thinking for yourself… Well I do, but that is a rant for another day.)
Now…
… I am not getting paid to write this. I am just trying to make you go “Hey wait a minute this cant be true” and then ACTUALLY RESEARCH IT.
For example, Pat Robertson is a Blood Diamond Trader. Google “Pat Robertson, Charles Taylor”. You can even call your local newspapers archive department and ask them to confirm it if you don’t want to take Google’s “word for it”.
While you were terrified of Muslims because of 14 Saudi Arabian guys, they p$#%&!@*ed a law called The Patriot Act which pretty much means they can lock you up anytime they want to all they gotta do is call you “a Threat to National Security” Google “Casio F-91W”…
Yep.
(You can also Google “casio terrorist watch” that works to… sigh”.)
Thanks to the Patriot Act… America forced the companies that make your computer, gaming counsel, phone…etc, to provide HARDWARE that lets them monitor pretty much everyone. (You can thank Edward Snowden for letting us know about this one.)
SIX…Yes… SIX International Corporations own 85% of the ENTIRE Planet’s Media. From Fox News, to Newspapers, to MTV, To MSNBC, to freaking Naked and Afraid. These guys also make a ton of money selling you “C**p made in China”, processed food, insurance, health-care all the way to the fees on your Capital One Card.
(Not to mention they figured out what makes you TRAMPLE PEOPLE TO DEATH to save money on sneakers the day after THANKSGIVING… OH! And let’s not forget how much you spend every time the NRA says Obama and Guns in the same sentence…)
Side Note real quick…. Did you know that 18% of America’s Gross Domestic Product is related to Health-care? Something like 2.8 TRILLION bucks… This pretty much means the sicker you are the better it is for the economy… Think about it.
(If I was they guys making TRILLIONS off you being sick??? … … … You betcha I would put a Black Kenyan Dude, Socialist, Muslim, Dictator with a f**e ID and a secret Muslim decoder ring in Office to keep you from going…. “Hey wait a cotton-picken minute!”.)
Ok last but not least cause I gotta wrap this up or I am gonna end up writing a novella and frankly, you don’t have the attention span.
Citizens United…
…YOU let them p$#%&!@* a law that gives BILLION DOLLAR INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS the ability to use MONEY as speech.
Corporations don’t give money for free no matter how much of it is tax deductible. (It’s actually ILLEGAL… look it up) (Corporations can not KNOWINGLY risk share holder’s money… Kinda why Timmy cant get a FREE heart unless there is a huge media presence to help cushion the advertising budget.)
So to sum this up,
I didn’t get paid to write this, I have no agenda other than asking you to go…
… HEY WAIT A MINUTE, THIS CANT BE TRUE.
(Yes you can copy and paste and no you don’t need to give me credit.)
(Oh and if you are curious I am on YouTube and No… I don’t get paid for this either)

The simplest way to control the mind of a large group of people is to divide them into little groups of people that hate each other while controlling what they read, watch on TV, what they eat, and what they drink.
They will show you horrible images/videos like this while giving you a steady diet of processed food full of sugar to make you to lazy to actually research what is really going on.
all this bs every body put a american flag out side your house now
Vote for trump he will clean out the corruption
