I also thought that was one cool flag, I would love to have it.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I worked for one that did. What are they gonna do?
Nothing. That's what.

If the Sheriff had any balls he would tell the judges to pound sand.

First the Sheriff should put a US Flag patch on the uniform of all the Baliffs that work court security. Second, the Judges are completely dependent on his for their security, he should thin down their security detail.
There is a huge US flag on the wall in the Roanoke County VA court house, as well as both US and VA flags in each court room.
The judges say they don't want the lobby to fill up with memorials. But don't care what the Sheriff does in his own offices.
Now then, before I'll accept the Sheriff's version on this, can anyone come up with photos of the courtrooms in that building? Do those courtrooms not have an American flag and State flag in each one?
If the flags are there, the Sheriff is wrong.
If the flags are not there, the Sheriff is right.
So it's not a flag. It's cut up firehoses in a heavy wood frame put together to look like a flag. That's cool, patriotic art and all that. I like the idea.

That's valid, I'm down with that.

It would be interesting to know what the judges would say if the sheriff wanted to display a United States flag, but for now I'll have to agree with the judges for purely technical reasons.
Why the F cannot we, the people, take this country back and run it like it should be run. Screw all the democrats and republicans. We need a common man with common sense and balls to run this country. I cannot believe that in my 52 years in this great country, I watched it completely flush itself down the toilet. We are doomed as a nation unless we find someone that will reach down inside his pants and remind himself that he is still a man. The liberals now run this country and if we do not win the white house back in 2016, were toast.
Good morning, your Honor......
However, I have to agree- this is not an American flag- it is a piece of artwork that resembles an American flag.

I bet there were a lot of German's wondering the same thing back in the early 30s. We know how that turned out.

Been looking at local news on this deal. Story gets a big longer:

No change in my position, this is another case of False Moral Outrage. The courthouse has many American Flags. There are American Flags in every courtroom and a great big one out front of the building. American Flags have not been banned in the Courthouse.
This is cut up fire houses with an extra blue one to represent police. It is a memorial, not a flag. The Sheriff wants every JUROR to walk past it in the lobby.
Next, it was intended as a gift to the Sheriff's Office. Not as a Courthouse display. The Sheriff decided to put it in front of every JUROR entering the Courthouse.
Judges are right, Sheriff is wrong and again, the place is chock full of American Flags. Just as it should be!
Typical socialist activist. The stories mention of the typical socialist liberal democrat as one who is not patriotic is spot on.
Not sure what that's all about.
Did you miss the part about how the place is chock full of American Flags? Lots of American Flags? Every courtroom has an American Flag? The building has a nice tall flagpole where Old Glory proudly waves?
This is not about American Flags. It's about the Sheriff wants to put a tribute to police in everyone's face. That means everyone who goes to a trial gets an opportunity to complain that jurors have to walk past tributes to the very people who's judgement they must question at trial.
If it was about American Flags, there wouldn't be so many in the courthouse where they belong.

The Judge is right.
Lady Justice holds a set of scales and is BLINDFOLDED. How would you feel if the person that robbed your house was an ex-fireman and there was a memorial hanging in front of every juror that will decide the case? Justice may be blind but people are not.
Kind of like the courthouse which banned the Ten Commandments from the premises some years back.
