NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- A South Carolina man faces a daily fine and possible eviction for flying the American flag outside his home.
Mike Kaminsky put the flag outside his rented home Sept. 12, the day after a firefighter friend died at the World Trade Center.
However, two months ago, property owners in Kaminsky's North Myrtle Beach neighborhood formed a homeowners association. One of the rules they passed banned the flying of flags outside properties.
The homeowners group said that either Kaminsky or the owner of the home must take the flag down by Saturday or face a $25 per day fine. Members also reportedly threatened to put a lien on the property.
Association President Bill Wren said it's a matter of keeping property values up. He said that if everyone flew different flags, "it would look like a third-world country.''
