To get you up to speed, Beth Scaer applied to fly the Pine Tree Flag on the Citizens Pole in front of the Nashua City Hall. Her petition was denied, as was her appeal to the mayor. Yesterday, some very peaceful protesters gathered with a bunch of Pine Tree Flags and did a bit of flag waving in front of City Hall.

It was not a large gathering, but it gave me an idea. If the City won’t fly it, why not have flag waves there on a regular basis and “fly it” yourselves? Do it for ay flag the city rejects or all of them. Jimmy “The Douche” Donchess says no, you say yes, and make sure citizens see it anyway. He can’t refuse you that right, just like he can’t engage in viewpoint discrimination on his big city pole, but he does it anyway, even when the reasoning is lousy.
Flew the American flag too. Lame excuse. And BLMs protests actually resulted in fire, looting, injury and significance can’t loss of life. Donchess would never refuse to fly that flag. https://t.co/YowyuZeQ2X

Significant loss of life and quality of life. Many people of color were harmed. The Pine Tree flag’s history led to independence and, ultimately, the end of slavery at the hands of people who truly believed that black lives mattered.
Donchess’ ideological ancestors disagreed and even protested well into the 20th century. In other words, his excuse is partisan and stupid. It wouldn’t stand up in court if challenged, but it remains to be seen if anyone is willing to pursue it (hint hint). While we wait, here are a few pics and a (very) short video from the flag wave (Credit: Beth Scaer).
