Homeowner Forced To Remove ‘Racist’ Blue Lives Matter Flag

[techbeck]

 

Jeff Gaddie is a homeowner in St. Johns County, Florida. His daughter has flown a Blue Lives Matter flag outside of his home for years. But now, his daughter is being forced to take it down.

 

Gaddie and his family have flown it as a way to honor law enforcement. Many in his family are in the profession. So it came as a shock when his daughter received a letter from the homeowners association demanding the flag be removed:

“If you drive by and see that flag, it kind of makes you feel a little bit better that there’s a family that supports what I’m doing,” Gaddie said.

 

Recently, his daughter received a letter asking her to remove the flag, saying it doesn’t fit the rules and regulations of the homeowners association.

 

“She called to ask why,” Gaddie said. “They told her they had received a complaint that it was considered racist, offensive and anti-black lives matter.”

 

“We’ve got black officers, we’ve got Asian officers, we’re got every race,” Gaddie said. “I mean for them to say it’s racist, blue is not a race, it’s the furthest thing from it.”
