Woman faces fines for wreath peace sign
- Thread starter sanctus
- Start date
"We" actually live about 30 minutes from there, so I have somewhat of a clue as to what I'm talking about. If she had been "grandfathered" in, because she was there first, she could hang a wreath shaped like "the middle finger" and the association would just have to deal with it.
So, yeah, while I haven't personally asked her if she signed anything, it is fairly safe to assume she did.
I am just curious as my folks recently moved into a new area with an association of some type. They refused to sign anything and nothing was ever made of the situation. My dad basically told them to go eff themselves when they came around with a copy of the rules and regulations. This was after they had purchased and moved into the house. That was six months ago and no problems yet. Nor will there be from the sounds of it.

Saw on CNN apparently they are going to let her keep her wreath.

Good for them! See I figured there was nothing to be really concerned about.
The HOA tried to flex its msucles a little bit, and got beyotch slapped by the "two by four" of public relations.
Here some more silliness from the good ole U.S. of A:
In 1934, a gritty prospector named J. Riley Bembry gathered a couple of his fellow World War I veterans at Sunrise Rock. Together they erected the cross, in honor of their fallen comrades. The memorial has been privately maintained ever since.
A wrinkle developed in 1994, when the federal government declared the surrounding area a national preserve. With the cross now located on newly public land, ...the ACLU demanded that the National Park Service tear down the cross.
Mr. Buono insists that his seeing the monument ("two to four times a year") violates his civil rights. A federal district court found in his favor, and the decision was subsequently upheld by the Ninth Circuit.
The ACLU, however, has made out quite nicely. Not only has it prevailed in the courts to date, but it has managed to pocket $63,000. Owing to a quirk in civil-rights law, the taxpayer once again ended up paying the ACLU for pressing a highly controversial church-state lawsuit.

Ah the good ole ACLU
They are also helping out the Six Imams on that fated flight - to get closer to their lottery jackpot - no doubt the ACLU will benefit monetarily as well.

Looks like the Home owners association has given in.
