City Employee Tells Store To Remove Military Flags, Tells Veteran He Did Nothing



A Jacksonville city inspector ordered a business to take down their U.S. military flags.

Jacksonville, FL – The mayor of Jacksonville has declared that a store may keep its U.S. military flags up after a city inspector ordered them to be removed.

On Monday, a Jacksonville city inspector entered the Jaguar Power Sports dealership, demanded that their display of military flags be removed, and told a military veteran that he “did nothing for this country,” according to store employees

City inspector Melinda Power went into the dealership at about noon on April 16 and announced that the flags the business was flying on the roof were in violation of city code, WJXT reported.

The rooftop display included a flag for each branch of the U.S. military, two American flags, and one Jacksonville Jaguars flag, WXIN reported.

“We cater to our men and women, both retired and active military, so it was personal,” store manager Marcy Moyer told WJXT. “We felt like it was a personal attack.”

While Power issued a written warning citation for illegal display of flags on a roof, a customer inside the store spoke up. He told the inspector that he felt it was wrong to force the business to remove flags that support the U.S. military.

The unnamed customer also happened to be a military veteran.

"She says, 'What did you do for this country?'” employee Katie Klasse recounted. “He says, 'I took three bullets to the leg. I almost lost my leg for this country. I'm retired. I'm a veteran.'”

“She gets in his face this close and says, 'You did nothing for this country,'" Klasse said.

Surveillance footage showed Power as she thrust her finger in the man’s face, just before she stalked out of the building.

Jaguar Power Sports decided they would not heed Power's warning to remove their flags, and instead posted a Facebook video about the incident on their business page.

Tripping over his own words because he was so angry, Sean told the story of how a city employee came into their business and insulted a military veteran.

“We just had the city of Jacksonville here, on site, to cite us for our military flags. That’s right. We just got a ticket in the city of Jacksonville – military-bound city – for flying military flags. They cited us for every flag… a lady by the name of Melinda Power that works for the city of Jacksonville regulatory compliance department said to one of our customers in store… he was questioning her on it because he was shot three times at war… she says to him ‘you’ve done nothing for our country,’” Sean explained.

“With all the other crap going on around town, they’re citing us, the business owner, for flying military flags in a military town. Are you serious right now?” the clearly frustrated man asked, and then called on viewers to share the video and contact the mayor of Jacksonville.

The video had been viewed more than 5 million times, and shared almost 250,000 times as of Tuesday morning.

Within hours of the video being posted, Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry issued two tweets, and said he had “directed city staff that military flags should be treated [the] same as [the] U.S. flag.”

“Let them fly,” Curry wrote. “We support our military and veterans, and we appreciate businesses who honor their service.”

According to WJXT, Curry’s chief of staff, Brian Hughes, said that the mayor’s office was “disturbed by some of the claims made” regarding Power, and that they were “reviewing the facts.”

Nothing but a cunt

The cunt "apologized" and there's not a person drawing breath who doesn't know that you're lying.

Happy now, stupid? What did you accomplish? You managed to embarrass yourself and you had to "apologize" to people you hate. Way to go, stupid.

The mayor told them to leave them up, of course there will be an investigation, lucky the dealer has cameras that show her getting into the face of the dealer and the customer that questioned her.

I'm sure she'll try and lie her way out of it, however I understand she issued a citation, so we have video, written and a witness.

Thankful that he had a video record and witness of her actions, wonder how many other businesses this witch has terrorized, seems the infiltration of government jobs and education by leftist thugs is getting exposed every day.

She can barely spell and she's an inspector for the city?

Saw this locally. She picked a hell of a city to do this in. The Marines do not take kindly to idiots like this.

Empty-headed, leftist, America-hating hag

She needs to be fired then deported.

He should put up bigger flags, just to spite this witch.

Any time you tell a leftist "No, I'm not doing what you say", it destroys their little world. Biggest fucking crybabies on the planet. On the planet. Ever. American leftists are the absolute pit of humanity. The stupidest people drawing breath, and they think they know how to run the world.

Wanna know why this cunt apologized? Because of the first 50 calls to City Hall the next morning after this went viral, most people were furious and demanding that she be fired.

Figure it out yet, genius?

Yet I can find no where that states she was fired or even at a minimum reprimanded for her inexcusable behavior. An apology doesn't even begin to cut it.

Yet another shining example why people loathe today's version of government.

I sent the mayor an email asking that very question. Maybe others should too ------->>> MayorLennyCurry@coj.net.

I say pull a page out of their own book and crucify this woman. Protest at her home, her family, friends, make it to where she can't make a living anywhere ever again.

If I read this right, her dad was a WWII POW, husband a Vietnam vet, son-in-law a retired Marine? I wonder how deep and wide her mental illness is, how she became so messed up, and how thick her padded cell should be.

Bet she doesn't like 2nd amendment either. People like her should never have power nor influence. She belongs nehind a shovel in a septic ditch.

It seems to me that if you work for any form of government, and you take it upon yourself to expand the scope of what people can and can't do, as you see fit, you should be dismissed immediately.

Cripes.

Apparently she cant spell worth a shit either.

Bitch needs to be fired, ASAP

I don't think we can share the country with these people forever.

The city owes this veteran an apology.

I think an appropriate apology would be allowing the veteran to hand this woman paperwork notifying her of a demotion to a minimum wage manual labor job with the city. Preferably one that involves the cleaning of veteran related monuments.

From a professional standpoint, she has no business being in the position that she occupies interacting with citizens and business owners on the city's behalf. A a position involving a broom seems appropriate.

Bitch is fucked up on so many levels. How is she still employed? I'm wondering with her attitude and lack of high school level writing, how many business/people she has ruined.

She should be digging ditches. Probably mess that up, too.

I generally hesitate to say someone needs to be fired, but this is a fire-able offense.

Who thinks this is the first taxpayer-funded power-trip she's taken? Make up regs, cop an attitude, bully the citizens you're supposed to serve. Three strikes, you're out.
