Yellow ribbons symbolizing support for the troops removed from town square

A town in northwestern Connecticut removed yellow ribbons, which were tied around trees and that signified support for U.S. service members, amid a debate on free speech.

Historic Litchfield Town Green has adorned the trees with the yellow signs of support since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. The families of service members started the trend, according to the Associated Press.
 

There were five yellow ribbons on the town common, each one representing a military branch, but they were taken down last Thursday by a local official who was complying with a city ordinance that the board of burgesses voted to restart enforcement of last month.
 
Acting Warden Gayle Carr removed the ribbons on Thursday morning, putting them in her backpack as she walked her dog.

Any Antifa or BLM activists reading this?  This town seems like a good candidate for burning to the ground. ****slapping

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
