    That would be in the heart/mind/intent of the person who wrote it.

    We don't know what the family's affiliation is - they might be leftist, liberal or conservative - and I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to protect the fundamental speech rights of others.

    Keep in mind that I am always correct, and so far ahead of the curve that it looks like an anthill to me.

    There's better ways to handle the problem. But somebody's forming resistance and that is good.

    Meh, folks need to recognize the enemy. Do we really worry about the rights of the enemy during war time? Really?

    Anything pro-BLM is worse than liberal. BLM is just another democrat created hate group that goes by a 3 letter name.

    You are not correct in this instance.

    If they own and are selling 3 homes on the street wouldn't it be pretty obvious who wrote the letter. You can either just look for 3 for sale signs or look it up on a realty website.
    I have doubts that the person writing the letter is really selling any homes. I think they didn't like the message and they thought this could be a good reason to ask them to take it down,

    I'm seeing someone who might be regarded as seriously benighted. SERIOUSLY benighted. Really.

    Anyone seeking to silence free speech is bad news. Hate speech: Protected speech

    Incorrect.

    That's what. Yes. Nothing; free speech includes criticizing speech.

    So someone criticizing a BLM sign is free speech. LOL!

    It is just a letter asking to remove a political sign. Nothing racist or oppressive about that. So why U mad bruh?

    The letter is respectful and lays out a compelling case for removing the sign that has nothing to do with BLM. It is a fact that people do not like the chaos and violence coming from the hate group BLM. These neighbors have every right to be concerned about their property value. They also have every right to exercise their right to free speech in speaking their concerns.

    Why are you against their right to free speech?

    Not gutless at all if the letter is a warning prior to for more (shall we say) direct action.

    What might be good is to sign the lame of the local liberal to the letter.

    Creepy? Not at all. It is respectful and lays out their concerns which are understandable. Why do you hate free speech?

    There is ZERO racism in this letter. Funny how free speech is being used to criticize free speech....

    I am correct here and you know it. Why don't you support the right of neighbors to use their free speech to ask for something?

    The letter is not racist by any means, it is however quite cowardly and narrow minded.

    The attempt to shutdown any criticism of BLM aside, this reminds me of people who choose to drive slow in the left lane. I know people who do this and they say they have the right to do so.

    I agree, as long as no laws are broken. But then they get angry when folks cut them off or slam on brakes in front of them. Well, the rule is everyone can drive however they want. No one has to be polite or courteous. This is the rule when folks are not considerate.

    So, sure these folks can put a BLM sign in their window and neighbors can ask them to remove it.

    What's the problem?
