In this photo taken Wednesday, July 2, 2014, Larry Murphree, 73, stands in his garage next to an upside down American flag in Jacksonville, Fla. The U.S. Air Force veteran hangs the flag that way in protest of his condo association's decision to fine him for sticking a tiny flag in a flower pot on his porch. Homeowners are permitted to display a flag at The Tides Condominium at Sweetwater, but it must be in accord with specific rules. The flag violates the communityâs âflower pot ordinanceâ which says âcontents of planters are limited to maintained foliage,â court documents show. âTheyâve got to be stopped, and Iâm going to stop them,â he said. âIâve just dug in my heels.â
