A patriot in the Richmond, Va. city hall that wanted to hang a flag

I generaly do not encourage people to go "postal" on co-workers....but in this case....well the 3slime hounds that complained just need a realy good killing.

A patriot in the Richmond, Va. city hall that wanted to hang a flag in his office was told to take it down after co-workers complained that it was a de-facto endorsement of war that offended them, reports the Richmond Times Dispatch.

Gary Burton and a friend hung a 5-foot by 8-foot American flag in their office, only to be told to take it down eight hours later. this morning. Three coworkers in the Bureau of Permits and Inspections complained about the flag throughout the day.

"The gist of [their complaints] is the flag is an attempt to make a political statement in support of the war. And they were opposed to the war," said Claude Cooper, the city's building commissioner.

Nah mate, it's actually easier to buy a US or Confederate flag over here than an Aussie flag.

I don't understand this. Hanging a flag or a crucifix in an office is unfairly subjecting people to your beliefs, but forcing them to take it down isn't?
