Is that a major roadway in his town? I could understand the city asking him to take it down if it was distracting to drivers. Any other reason is just asinine.

in rural places such as that, every road that isnt a driveway can be considered a 'major roadway'

I can see where some people would find that to be anti-Bush, even if the fellow had no intentions of being anti-Bush.

However, if the city ordinance or whatever had enough complaints, even those that weren't really valid, they would be pressured to have the man remove the sign. This is similar to that girl who was going to wear a tuxedo to prom but was denied due to the dress code (and not because she was a lesbian, although people wanted it to sound that way).

really? and how so?

The only thing I could guess at (and this is still a reach) would be the word "KILLED" in red. Written in red signifies that there is a more hostile sense towards that word than the "IN IRAQ" part of it.

Red perhaps meaning opposition...or it could just be a word written in red to show how tragic the situation is. There is obvious emphasis for the word to stand out.

That's all I could think of to address Feceman's statement.

That hardly matters if you ask me...

The guy is doing absolutely nothing wrong, this is just so ****ing ironic. I hope that guy brings them court and wins.

I see no way that could be considered anti-Bush. Notice that he's also got those ribbon-things with the flag and that say "support our troops". Not many anti-Bush people, in my experience, have those. The sign is just for that purpose -- to support the soldiers and to show respect for those who died by memorializing them.

So if that guy was sitting right here and I asked him, "Why is the word 'KILLED' in red?" what would he tell me? No reason? A mistake? Ran out of red marker for the rest?

to emphasise the word "killed" over "in iraq"
because...you know....they were killed.......

if he had the word 'killed' in black like the other words, do you HONESTLY believe there would have been a different outcome.

Yes, they would have welcomed his sign with open arms and probably given him a key to the city as well.

😂

i sense wisdom behind your sarcasm.

you know it: OF COARSE it wouldnt have made a bit of difference

Perhaps the 'memorial' should have been more focused on the people who died rather than the location of their deaths.

feceman, i appreciate that you play devil's advocate, but please for one moment...just this once...break character and admit that the people harassing this man are all out batshit.

Yeah seriously, if he didn't say the location as well they would just think he's posting pictures of random people that have died...

i guess they should dismantle every vietnam, korea, and ww2 memorial as well

Well why not? Memorials honoring soldiers who have given their lives to protect my freedom have always offended me.
