The City of Sevierville is threatening legal action against an RV rental company, [Camping World], in Kodak for an American flag they say is too tall for its zoning area.
...
“I’ve had this flag in my family, since I was a little child. I was born in a foreign country, I had the blessing of being here in the United States where I can have a business and have employees,” said Lemonis. “This is my way to pay respect, not only the veterans of this country, but current and active military, and everybody else who just loves the country.”

He could pay respect by being a part of the community. What if everyone decided they should do whatever they want because they say they are "respecting" whatever?
