A New York town has prevented a veteran’s group from flying a “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden flag, calling it “offensive”.
As I recall, there were once some fellas in red coats who didn’t care for it much, either. Anyone remember how that worked out for them?
New Rochelle is just north of NYC and still considered part of Downstate, please don’t confuse them with us Upstate.
Anyone that would band the Gadsden Flag, or any other American Flag, must be someone that pledges allegiance to this flag.
As I recall, the guys in redcoats got their posteriors handed to them by the folks waving that flag. If anyone finds that flag offensive, I cordially invite them to clear out for some other country and spend the rest of their days sitting on a rutabaga.

I find that flag offensive! In fact I find everything about America to be offensive! ~ Piers Morgan
Oh and ditto to @4.
New Rochelle is Westchester, but it’s fallen on hard times since the Rob & Laura Petrie days. The town sucks, and apparently so does its government.
But I am not a crackpot.
Bacon to Chuck!

Maybe the veterans can replace the Gadsden flag with that “Times Up!” flag and see how they like that one.
Unless the veteran’s group wants to fly the flag on city property, I don’t think that the city has a leg to stand on, legally.
@11, that doesn’t seem to stop the government these days. And, no, I am not a crackpot or conspiracy freak; I’m a loner with a pinch of pessimism.
Let’s see if ordinance trumps ordnance.
