FDNY firefighters made to remove Stars & Stripes honoring 9/11 heroes

A downtown NYC fire-fighting company was told by a local councilwoman that they must remove from their truck a flag commemorating men they lost in 9/11.

Authorities at the New York City Fire Department commanded a ladder company in the East Village to remove a flag honoring six of the company's men who perished on 9/11 after a resident complained it was a 'fascist' symbol.

The order arrived on March 22 after a man who the New York Post reports claimed to be a staffer for progressive Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, confronted firefighters at Ladder Company 11.

The man pulled up to the firehouse on a bike and told firefighters he works for Rivera and that the politician's office had complained several days earlier about the flag.

The 'thin red line' flag, which is a black-and-white American flag with a red line across the middle, is meant to show solidarity with firefighters who have fallen or been injured on the job.

The man reportedly called the flag a 'fascist symbol' and asked to know why it remained up.

Comment:
The Radical Left Democrats have a major problem with hate.
They hate America so much that they are branding the American flag as a symbol of fascism.
It is a cultural hatred for mainstream Americans.

No, the department ordered it and was overridden by the commissioner a couple hours later.

They've been making a whole lot of attempts at backing FDNY down, with this and the "witch hunt" to find the gents who were showing their disapproval for that James woman.

No success.

Stand up and fight back, FDNY!

Smells like a plant. No politician that wants any sort of career would suggest anything of the sort. And I can't see anyone in the FDNY telling them they have to take it down. There's more to this story.
Also, you just do what any dude rolling up on a bike says?

 

[Godboy]

You have to be a real piece of shit democrat to try and force firefighters to take down their 9/11 memorial flag. Imagine the gall to yell at firefighters over their flag.

That guy who came up on his bike should have gotten his ass kicked. We need to find out the name of this Rivera staffer and release it to the public.

Ah, not only do you democrats force them to take down their flag, then you claim the firefighters are lying about it. Great political strategy. Shitting on firefighters is an odd choice that only a democrat would make.

LOL. You cucks are easy. No wonder you gravitate to Trump. Birds of a feather.
Someone could have explained to the councilwoman that even though the thin blue line got politicized and then ostracized in the wake of...you know, cops killing unarmed black men, to date, no firefighter (who are just there to save lives) has shot anyone in the back. So, there's a bit of a difference. The term "fascist" to describe the firefighters flag doesn't apply.

Can you show me an unarmed black man who was shot that didnt deserve to be shot?

Overt racism deflection noted. Google. You'll literally trip over them. The thin blue line flag can be considered fascist.
The thin red line flag...is not.

 

[okfine]

What really gets me is that the US flag should never be altered in the first place, but nobody seems to care anymore.

Why are there people in your country who have an issue with your national flag?

If they don't want to be Americans and despise all that it stands for, can't they simply leave the U.S and renounce their citizenship?

Well, some correction needed, they changed your flag. This in itself, is sacreligious if you ask me, regardless of the intent.

Google. They're all over the Internet.
Stop being a douche.

They deserve to be shot and it amuses me that they were shot.

together we stand, divided we fall comes to mind Ok

so i understand, and yes you've a valid point

FF's have their own 'Maltese cross' flag , which they've altered to honor their fallen 911 brothers

That said, having replaced one of two fallen brothers locally in my past tenure, the premise of honoring them would have elicited standing together , regardless of the method to do so

I think you get it. Defacing or altering the US flag is against the law but is considered a 1st amendment right for someone to burn it.
