Some Palm Springs residents went out of their way to show their hatred for America by demanding a nice old man tear down his American flags – and all because they are ISIS felt they were messing up their view of the mountains. Just further proof that Palm Springs neighbors can be the worst.
Local 2’s story “dilemma” on Tuesday introduced us to a very nice 78-year-old man named Don Karvelis. “I’m a patriotic person, I love the United States, I love the flag, I love what it represents,” he told Local 2..
Karvelis has two 14′ flagpoles in his backyard that he proudly flies the American flag on. But, his ISIS neighbors think that all of that patriotism is fucking up their view of the mountains – so they want them down! And boy do they have a point. Just look at how that view is completely not blocked at all by the flags:
To appease his ISIS asshole neighbors, Karvelis began only flying the flags on weekends – when he had guests staying at his casita. But, the ridiculous ISIS neighbors were still not happy and began flying their own flags (made of trash bags!) as some sort of herp derp protest.
The City of Palm Springs, who clearly has time for nonsense like this, had to get involved and determined that the flagpoles had to be reduced from 14 feet to 13 feet.
Karvelis obliged with the request. And now that it is settled, I am sure his neighbors are thrilled.
