Whether or not you are a fan of Donald Trump, things like this should concern you
(NJ.com) Â A West Long Branch man has been ticketed for flying Donald Trump flags outside his home.
The police department says he’s in violation of a municipal ordinance prohibiting the display of lawn signs more than 30 days before an election.
The resident, Joseph Hornick, says the ordinance doesn’t apply to him because he’s flying flags — not displaying lawn signs. He contends banning his flags is a violation of his right to free speech.
The original article at NJ.com is here, and notes that he could be fined $2,000 for this, and that he will not give up. Nor should he. Hit either link to see the pictures of the flags, which do not say anything like “Elect Trump”. The poll at the first link is running around 88% in favor of Hornick. If the flag was for Hillary, Bernie, Obama, you name it, it should be allowed. This is our Free Speech.
