Seriously? What is up with this crap.

lets all go picket that fire house, philly is not that far we will all carry american flags. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Well, let's be specific here.

 

He was suspended for placing something on his locker.

 

Flag or not, there was a rule put in place because some idiot put up a racist cartoon.

 

This is not about the flag. There have been other cases where someone was "offended" by the US flag...in those cases, I'm outraged. In this case, he's deflecting the issue by having a flag there.

lol someone put a racist cartoon on a locker at where I work, it was some cartoon that was suggesting a neo-nazi on one of the guys lockers.

Chase bank will not allow it either, they took over my wife's bank and made them remove all things related to Holiday's

family and patriotism, cant even ware a American flag pin on your shirt. They really are true corporate scum in so many way's.

I guess policy is policy, but a friggin flag come on!

If they allow the flag, then they have to make room for any other "Exceptions" all it takes is ONE A-hole to screw everyone over. We're going through that now at work. ONE Dipshi...tick did something stupid and childish and everyone has to clear their lockers off.

I fly one right out front of my office since 9/11 and no one is making me take it down period!

Not quite the same. what happens when someone wants to paste a Nazi flag or a Iraq flag on their locker. The municipality will only get embroiled in a suit it can't win. Unfortunately in today's legal atmosphere, it's all or nothing.

No such issue here.

 

We have a flag flying in front of our building, with a POW flag flying underneath.

 

On of our employees had a son deployed in Iraq (ranger). he brought home a flag that was flown in Iraq, and we had a very nice ceremony for it when he donated it to the company.

 

We need an ammendmant to the consitution which allows the American flag to be flown anytime, anywhere provided it does not cause a fire hazard.

 

Plain and simple.

NO banning the American flag anywhere in the US, it's territories or even for the sh!thole countries we liberate and protect.

We did something similar here at my job in remembrance of 9-11.

When the towers 1st went down we were located in NY and worked around the clock

since I am in communications, we have a 30 ft flag ran across the entire wall and wasnt no

one going to take it down. My boss was also an ex tank commander and his boss was an ex Nam era seal, so I guess that helps to. I think places like Chase who do not even recognize their country because they may piss off someone that doesn't like living here need the politically correctness kicked out of their tail ends. We are all Americans and we live in America plain and simple this should offend no one, and if it does they should leave America.

+1

We are all Americans and we live in America plain and simple this should offend no one, and if it does they should leave America.

 

Absolutely. :flags-usa:

And learn to speak the god damn language (ENGLISH) while they're at it!

Bank of america had a similar rule, that bankers in branches would not be allowed to put up anything personal on their desks.

fuck that rule, if they were to make a similar rule where I work I would bring in a flag on a daily basis until they fired me for it. Then once im fired I will say they are discriminating against the Flag that I pledged to all throughout my growing up, plus im good at emailing the media on certain certain circumstances.

Update:

 

Hey,

 

Chester (PA) Firefighters and Fire Commissioner James Johnson reached a mutual agreement today and ended their conflict, partially over the display of an American flag on a locker, personalities and very high emotions.

A rally of just under 100 folks protested outside the fire house in support of FF James Krapf this morning. As you know, FF Krapf was suspended last week after he refused to remove an American flag sticker off the outside of his locker under a newly implemented department directive. The "new' directive required firefighters to remove all decorations off their lockers and was ordered by The Commish after one of his other 61 firefighters posted a cartoon that others found offensive. After today's meeting, Commissioner Johnson, FF Krapf and union leaders announced that FF Krapf would be reinstated and the directive would be rewritten to allow displays in line with the U.S. Flag Code.

 

How 'bout that!?

 

Take Care-BE CAREFUL. FLY THE FLAG: Start With Your Home.
