    From the world of You Gotta Be Kidding Me is this story about a family who appear to be cop haters receiving a letter regarding their bigoted and hateful sign in the window. The polite, respectful and seemingly carefully worded letter requesting the sign be taken down, and for very valid reason, has been deemed racist.

    Read the below letter. According to the left, it's racist and full of threats.

    If the sign supported the police the fire department probably wouldn't be able to save the house.

    It is not tacist at all. What it is is written by yellow belly gutless chickens who did not have the balls to sign their names or at least print their names on "the letter".

    The least that they could have done was sign it "Your Neoghborhood Eunachs" or they did not know what that word meant they could have signed it " The Ballesss Wonders"..

    Signing it could have gotten the author killed or his house burned down

    I'm sure the author of this letter is one of the same people who make their neighbor's democrat election posters disappear overnight.

    Does this particular neighborhood have any sort of CC&R's or HOA's or anything like that? If not then there's not really anything anybody can do about it. Without some sort of community guidelines or restrictions then you are forced to deal with your neighbors nonsense whether you like it or not.

    Hence the main reason why I choose not to live in the standard copy and paste style American communities where I live directly next door to other folks.

    Speculation! Hey no guts no glory!

    Thank God our American patriots up to and during the Rev War had the guts to achieve glory. BTW so did the Texas patriots at the Alamo.

    They're already calling that letter racist and you know what that means, no rules to whatever happens to the person who wrote it. Any signature or face-to-face meeting would have ended up with the person(s) who agree with the sentiment of the letter would have been branded as racists.

    I can see this spiraling out of control with someone painting a Blue Life's Matter sign and away we go.

    The letter wasn't racist, but it was gutless. The patriots of the Revolution took a stand. The WW2 generation took a stand. The post 9/11 generation took a stand. And by golly, those neighbors can sign their names to something.

    Right now the left wing mob is attacking just about anything. Even though this letter is harmless, it's being called racist and that's all the excuse the mob needs.

    They have as much right to give her that (imo very sensitive and respectful) request letter as she has to ignore it.

    So long as thats the end of it, whether she acquiesces or not, I don't see any problem here whatsoever.

    I doubt her sign is meaningfully effecting property values, but my doubt doesn't invalidate their concerns that it is. But unless she agreed to a HOA rule that she's violating, the 1st Amendment trumps other concerns.

    I'm not exactly a BLM supporter (nor am I generally opposed to it), but I hope she keeps her sign up.

    Our properties should be free for us to use to advertise/support w/e we want.

    That would also be my response if it was a swastika.

    Also, Lake Oswego is very near Portland. I wonder why so many people would be trying to move and finding that no one wants to buy...? ;)

    Other than using white paper, where do you see racism in that letter? Please explain.

    But on the flip side, you support hating cops.

    Great.

    Somebody wrote themselves a letter, just so they could get some attention (and feed the Faux Outrage of the RW)?

    Cool.

    Wow, f'n wow.
    Probably from the same place you seen the sign was about hating cops.
    Where have I stated anything about cops?
    You've not even bothered to prove the person supporting BLM hates cops. A loser thread.

    How does supporting the likes of BLM lower property values as the letter suggested?

    So, you are supporting the racist neighbors. Thought so.

    That letter by the Gutless Wonders is no more racist than the sign that Mrs. Mosquito posted is bigoted or hateful.

    How does being against police violence mean you are against cops?
    Unless you are saying that in order to support cops means you must also support police violence...

    That isn’t what you are saying, is it?

    Sorry. Not agreeing with BLM doesn’t make you racist. It makes you logical and having the right to a free ****ing thought. Leftists shouldn’t be allowed to hold the country hostage. But everyone can easily see who BLM truly is. Hours of video of them holding their signs, destroying cities. Some maiming and killing cops and innocent people. More lives have been destroyed by BLM then the cops they’re “protesting” against.

    And we’re assuming this is real and not another BS false Flag. Reads like a Jussie Smollet 101.

    Wow.

    Neighbors: Mega-jackasses

    Person with art in her window: Alright with me

    I can't begin to imagine the arrogance & entitlement one would have to possess to try to dictate to one's neighbor how they may decorate their window.

    Unreal.
