Ohio HOA orders veteran dad of slain police officer to remove Thin Blue Line flag

The HOA says someone complained about the flag


The father of an Ohio police chief who was killed in a nursing home shooting has been told by his local homeowners association that he must stop flying a Thin Blue Line flag outside of his home.

Thomas DiSario, a disabled veteran and the father of slain officer Steven Eric DiSario, told WCMH-TV this week that his HOA recently told him to remove a Thin Blue Line flag he sometimes flies in front of his home. Additionally, DiSario says he had to call the police after someone from the HOA attempted to remove the flag from his property.

"The political sign in the form of a flag must be removed from your property," the letter dated Friday to DiSario from the Omni Community Association Managers said. "The flag on your pole is not a United States Flag. It is a political statement. Please remove the flag from your property."

Unfortunately, this is what happens when one chooses to live in an HOA community.

In all these years it's somewhat surprising we haven't had someone go postal on a Home Owners Association meeting.


Hhhmmmm...

I'd love to be wealthy enough to purchase the property and open it up to homeless people.

"Need a place to sleep? Well, come on in!"

If I may ...

If people actually took the time to fully read and understood those by-laws, covenants and restrictions, documents in HOA's, they be saying WTF! I'm not allowed to do what?! Ain't no way I'm buying this house! But, they don't. A quick glance and skim, or a word from their realtor at the settlement table that it's just standard HOA stuff, and there goes their signature on the dotted line. Effed and restricted for the time they own the house.
