LOL sir. You know people can’t even glance at a wreck without wrecking.
I have gotten my second response from a council member. Here are both responses.

Looks like the city is doubling down on something that will only be a PR nightmare for them and free advertising for Lemonis and Gander RV....

I just dont get the thought process of the city council that thinks this is a worthy hill to die on. The idiots going against the will of the people.
They need to be made to question their own authority.Yeah, can't have people questioning authority.
Guys, I’m the first person to protect our flag, I’ve taught Flag etiquette to the Scouts for years. I’ve performed numerous Flag retirement ceremonies, I’ve stopped at businesses flying ratty old Flags and ask them to take them down until they can get a new one. Ive fought for my Flag, I’ve seen too many of my Brothers and Sisters come home wrapped in this Flag that I love. But, let’s look at the real thing that is happening here. He is using the Flag as an advertisement to sell more campers. He couldn’t give a fat rats ass about the Flag or the Veterans he says he’s supporting! He hates them both! He abhors us and anyone like us. Statesville had this ordinance in place before he started this stunt, good or bad, it was there so it’s not like he was flying his huge Flag and one day the mean old city says no, take it down. He’s flying it in opposition and saying it’s for something it’s not. He’s wrong and the Flag needs to come down until the ordinance is changed! He can fly a Flag, just not a huge Flag! If it was just about the Flag, I’d say go for it! But it’s not, he’s an azzhole who is using this as a sales draw, and that by the US Flag Code is wrong!
No, it is a Leftie store, owned by Marcus Lemonis, an avid anti-Trump person who has gone on the record saying he doesn't want any Trump supporters in his stores. Normally, I would care about an issue like this, but for him, don't care.Some leftie is probably literally in-route right now from Massachusetts to vandalize it.

I’m not putting words in anyone’s mouth but he is a huge anti Trump guy and doesn’t want any of his supporters in his stores. I’m a huge Trump supporter and a Veteran and I don’t care for the way he’s manipulating the Flag. Cowboy’s right, he knows he’s wrong but he can gin up the “Patriotic” public and come out smelling like a rose and sell a few more campers to boot. There’s no one who loves our Flag more than me , but I see this as a publicity stunt. If I came across as strong, it’s just that when you see the coffins of our Soldiers covered with that Flag, using it for gain just cheapens it and pisses me off. I just take it for granted that he hates our Flag.We all know what he said about Trump supporters, but did he come out and say he didnt care about the flag? Did he say he hates veterans?
Or are you putting words in his mouth?
The Statesville City Council has reached a settlement with Gander RV parent company Camping World concerning the flag flying over the dealership.The city of Statesville and CW have reached a settlement.
The city rezoned the property CW owns and now the flag is in compliance.
Yep. Lemonis is just another globalist who hates people who are for America-first.No, it is a Leftie store, owned by Marcus Lemonis, an avid anti-Trump person who has gone on the record saying he doesn't want any Trump supporters in his stores. Normally, I would care about an issue like this, but for him, don't care.
Not impressed by people who abuse our nation's flag for marketing purposes.
I’m not buying anything from them. But I have liked those flags for years, and hope they get to keep them up.
He is a wily one that CEO. Unfortunately you are right, it is working. Need to spread the word that this guy is a con-man and a scumbag. His apology was as phony as he is!! Stop supporting him!
No one in here is against flying the flag. They are against the reason this guy made it an issue while at the same time talking crap about the people that are supporting his flying of the flag.But continue to support the flying of old glory
When guns become outlawed,I will become an outlaw!
The fact that the government would even consider repealing the second amendment is the very reason for which it was written.
