Portsmouth Sheriff Bill Watson is infuriated after a group of judges told him to remove an American flag from their courthouse, which was given to his office by the Portsmouth fire department.
“I just can’t believe that they don’t want to display the American flag in a courthouse, I mean that’s the most asinine thing I’ve ever heard in my life,” said the Sheriff.
The flag is made out of old firehoses and had a caption underneath which read “A Tribute to Public Safety.”

“[The “flag” is] made of old fire hoses which a sign beneath it that reads, “A Tribute to Public Safety.” … [The 4’x6′ “flag” is framed and behind glass. It was displayed on an easel. It is not correctly proportioned and includes a black & blue stripe and a brass nozzle.]
“The judge told us it was decided that the lobby of the courthouse is not the appropriate place for the display.
“He said they don’t want any display or memorial of it’s kind positioned in the lobby when people walk into the courthouse.
“The judge said if you allow one type of display, then you will have to allow all types.”

This flag should stay, !!
Whether it is art or our flag the judge who ordered it removed should be removed!
It is MY FLAG!!!
Why? Are you offended???????????????????????????????????????
They should remove the judge
Let the flag be,
Wow…. how is it none of you who have commented see that this is not an american flag and if it was its been altered which is illegal. Look at the pic. The real american flag is hanging from its indoor flag post and has not been ordered removed. The framed flag with the blue line which stands for police brotherhood or the code of silence among officer’s is the one being removed and i say good job judge. That piece of c**p shouldnt be allowed in a courthouse.
FREEDOM ????
