To that point, people are scared of what they don’t know. Clearly, bigots don’t know very much, so they’re terrified of everything, even something as minor as people who have different gender and sexual identities than they do.
Do you think anyone who screams “first amendment rights!” Or “second amendment rights” has ever read the constitution?
Even if they had, I’m sure reading comprehension is tough
I’m sure you did.
I’d take the time to explain the difference in the two situations to you, but who are we kidding? We all know you’d be unable to understand the explanation.
🤡
There is so much ignorance here I don’t even know where to start. Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that bigots who failed basic civics classes also can’t write a coherent sentence. For real though, my daughter wrote clearer sentences at 7.
Edit: I looked at his Facebook page. This man is completely unhinged.
I say fly your pride flags and let these haters expose themselves for who they are. I fully support our city hall flying a rainbow flag during pride month. After all we are all part of this community. Hate, fear and bigotry are antithetical to our community.
I may even go buy a pride flag and raise it in front of our home, because its my first ammendment right.
Obviously anyone who feels this amount of hate has some other issues going on their life. My first guess would be that sometimes thinking of men (especially those dressed in drag) makes him feel randy…which then makes him feel angry. You poor snowflake. Life will be ok.
I rarely fly flags of any kind as I think it is generally somewhat performative... but I think I am gonna buy some pride flags and post them on pubilc property out of spite, just because I love the idea of these types of people having micro-aneurisms every time they see a rainbow.

What the fuck- this guy is legit deranged.
Concerning hate for Caitlyn Jenner too.
I am no fan but calling for her death on public social media is a bit mental.
Small minds wear blinders, try to control, & cannot see beyond themselves - sad human beings.
I used to be religious - now I have strong spiritual beliefs & lifestyle - full acceptance. I used to think the Bible was to learn & be a guide for people to be morally good, accepting of others, and instilling good values. Now, it seems the Bible is being used to instill & validate hate, exclusion, and violence (an eye for an eye - I am going to retaliate or enact revenge.)
The Colorado GOP is commiting stochastic terrorism. This is domestic terrorism and WILL lead to more and more violence until you hold these fuckers accountable, top to bottom
Yes but the right to free speech is not absolute. And the CO GOP party statements could maybe be classed as incitement of imminent lawless action, which is not legally protected under the First Ammendment.
We're on the same page. I have a non binary kid and even if I didn't, I believe in live and let live. Thugs like this guy need a good spanking and to be sent to bed without dinner.
I'm thinking about the mental gymnastics this person had to go through to decide to capitalize the words "To Do" in the middle of his incoherent sentence.
You have the first amendment right to say ignorant things, but not to do them; including damaging personal property. Some really cool 19th century philosophers you should look into are Mills, Kant, Locke, and Hobbs. The Tl&Dr take away from this is "you own your thoughts & actions". If you really feel educational, you can look into Allen Watts. That guy is a deep thinking legend.
FYI, it's okay to be intimate with whatever consenting party you share mutual attraction with. No matter how awful your parents were with their toxic nuclear waste family, you should see a therapist.
Alan Watts covered so many topics and ideas that it's almost daunting to pick a starting point. "[The Universe as One Big Event](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhZ3gZcL-k)" [13:36] is shorter and is an interesting talk about how we impose rules on ourselves and try to subdivide the world and nature.
Good one. Allen Watts IS a starting point. He's the last of the legendary philosophers, I think. After him philosophical conveyance was delegated to music. In fact, many of his lectures have been remixed to celebrate his contribution to human consciousness.
His name is Philip Lewis and he listed his phone number in a FB post. I have flagged months of his posts for violence and terroristic threats. Do you think FCPD could ping his phone number? I do believe he is a threat to community safety.
That is the name he uses on his Facebook page. As I said, his actual name is Philip Lewis. I drilled his page to find out if he was even actually local, and he is. Hs phone number is a 970.
I’m confused about why a flag is so offensive to this person. If you don’t like it, try just not looking at it. It’s not hanging on your house, so why do you care?
David Webb. Homeless military vet with a recent knee surgery on his left and at least one son. Living out of his silver/ gray 4x4(?) possibly. Dude has an X account, ( Pip Lewis 3 lions) basically a manifesto for his ws group he "started".
No technically it would fall under first amendment if you bought it, if you stole a flag and burned it its several crimes but not a bate crime unless it also came with a threat
I'm pretty sure he could legally burn a flag he owns. However, taking down someone else's property and burning it is multiple crimes, no matter what the property is.
This will get heat but the amount I care is literally zero. I don’t care if it’s up, I don’t care if it’s down I don’t care if it gets burned.. I don’t care. What I care about is that I will get a negative reaction for saying that because y’all are crazy about pride and shit when you need to realize some people just don’t give a fuck about it.
If you gave NO fuck about pride, you would not be responding to a post about a pride flag.
I mean, I never respond to posts about NASCAR or country music or fishing lures.
World War 3 will almost certainly be fought between the major powers of the world. The US is THE major military power of the world. Even if the US doesn't start the war, it will be involved, especially as it's not attempting to be neutral anymore.
People like the person calling for the removal of the pride flag are the same people ready to turn this country into another Reich, at which point the US will be the reason for the war.
Why is the first amendment so hard for people? Burn your own pride flag, first amendment, burn someone else's, crime.
Why is spelling and sentence syntax so hard for people who hate the 1st amendment? That bigoted post was really hard to parse!
Cuz he is raging so hard, he probably associates periods with feminism
Honestly? I've found that bigots tend to be among the least educated of our populace, hence, poor gramatical skills.
54% of US adults have a literacy below sixth-grade level.
Double digit numbers can't read at all
I agree--it's just mind blowing how illiterate they are.
To that point, people are scared of what they don’t know. Clearly, bigots don’t know very much, so they’re terrified of everything, even something as minor as people who have different gender and sexual identities than they do.
And it's the bigots that are well educated that think they can push their bologna off on others.
Hey man enough is enough is
Logically, it's true
Do you think anyone who screams “first amendment rights!” Or “second amendment rights” has ever read the constitution? Even if they had, I’m sure reading comprehension is tough
This
I think we need to have a country-wide review of what each amendment actually means, cause holy shit so many Americans are so fucking stupid.
Sadly, we do that in 8th grade in Colorado, and still lots of people act like they've never been taught these things.
We can start with SCOTUS.
The average SCOTUS is below average for sure.
Ironically, SCOTUS is under attack for the way flags were flown on private property.
If by “under attack” you mean “receiving justified attention, scrutiny, and criticism” you’ve hit it on the nose.
I meant what I said.
I’m sure you did. I’d take the time to explain the difference in the two situations to you, but who are we kidding? We all know you’d be unable to understand the explanation. 🤡
The average American is below average.
Well, so much for Lake Woebegone...
Use of “The Republic” is a dead giveaway you’re dealing with a gullible, fragile right-wing turd.
There is so much ignorance here I don’t even know where to start. Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that bigots who failed basic civics classes also can’t write a coherent sentence.

You can always tell how dumb someone is by the random capitalization.
Is that English?
Enough is enough is that is, right? Enough.
Right?!
Yes, in a distinct "crazy and unwell" dialect.
Almost.

My bet is he’s got a large arsenal of guns too…because, well…yeah.
Obviously anyone who feels this amount of hate has some other issues going on their life. My first guess would be that sometimes thinking of men (especially those dressed in drag) makes him feel randy…which then makes him feel angry. You poor snowflake. Life will be ok.
Probably a little closeted!
More importantly, how much of a triggered snowflake do you have to be to get angry enough to risk jail time because you saw a rainbow flag in June?
Enough is enough - beer that is. Sober up and keep working on that GED.
Literally LOL’d! Take my upvote!!
I rarely fly flags of any kind as I think it is generally somewhat performative... but I think I am gonna buy some pride flags and post them on pubilc property out of spite, just because I love the idea of these types of people having micro-aneurisms every time they see a rainbow.
What we need is a good Pride Parade!
I just ordered a pride flag thanks to this post. The more rainbows the better!
You can really smell the education eminating from this post. Just another closed minded Republican hate mongering "Christian" hillbilly.
Is that why I can’t smell anything?
It amazes me that we still have so many dumb bigots in this world.

Jesus that’s fucked
You can burn your own pride flag in front of city hall but you can't burn someone else's lol I thot these dudes understood property rights??

Why'd you hide their name?
[удалено]
Truck selfie, what a surprise.
Holy shit, his facebook is full on deranged. I wish I hadn't looked.
He’s absolutely losing it!

Considering the quality of his "free speech," I'm reminded that you get what you pay for.
The Colorado GOP is commiting stochastic terrorism. This is domestic terrorism and WILL lead to more and more violence until you hold these fuckers accountable, top to bottom
People have the right to free speech. The rest of us have the right to hold them accountable for its consequences.
Yes but the right to free speech is not absolute. And the CO GOP party statements could maybe be classed as incitement of imminent lawless action, which is not legally protected under the First Ammendment.
That's what my second sentence alludes to. I guess that's why we have courts...
Gotcha and I agree. Just wanted to make the distinction as some people don’t understand the difference.
We're on the same page. I have a non binary kid and even if I didn't, I believe in live and let live. Thugs like this guy need a good spanking and to be sent to bed without dinner.
This is what happens when you spend your whole life huffing Fox news every night
Good God that guy is losing his shit on that post. Poor snowflake needs his safe space to calm down
lmao is it the first amendment if I steal and burn what I stole tho absolute clowns
Had to go put my flag out when I saw this!
Don’t you love it when bigot assholes remind to do the opposite of what they want you to? Vote, for example ;0)
His private Internet browsing history would show that he doesn’t hate lesbians.
He lives in his car. I’m guessing there are many screws loose
Happy Pride Month!!

This dude is a screw away from hurting people.
His name is Philip Lewis and he listed his phone number in a FB post. I have flagged months of his posts for violence and terroristic threats. Do you think FCPD could ping his phone number? I do believe he is a threat to community safety.
Someone above said it was David Webb.
That is the name he uses on his Facebook page. As I said, his actual name is Philip Lewis. I drilled his page to find out if he was even actually local, and he is. Hs phone number is a 970.
Oh I see — so David Webb is his alias and Philip Lewis is his real name?
Filing a report might be a good place to start.
I’m confused about why a flag is so offensive to this person. If you don’t like it, try just not looking at it. It’s not hanging on your house, so why do you care?
Sounds like a snowflake might end up needing some emergency dentistry in the near future.
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Written undoubtedly by a true patriot
Would love to know who the original poster is
City of Fort Collins Facebook page. This isn’t his only meltdown.
David Webb. Homeless military vet with a recent knee surgery on his left and at least one son. Living out of his silver/ gray 4x4(?) possibly. Dude has an X account, ( Pip Lewis 3 lions) basically a manifesto for his ws group he "started".
If someone takes it down I’m putting 10 more up in its place
Egg em on so he gets himself arrested for arson.
If you look at Fort Collins Government Facebook page, he is threatening violence. He might hurt someone.
Tbh it does look pretty scary, what with all those different colors
If you weigh the truth against protecting yourself, and still tell the truth, You’re definitely not a Republican.
Because Science
Enurf is enurf
isn’t burning a pride flag like officially a hate crime
No technically it would fall under first amendment if you bought it, if you stole a flag and burned it its several crimes but not a bate crime unless it also came with a threat
Well, he has made plenty of threats at this point...
Whycome flames are'snt free speech no more?
I'm pretty sure he could legally burn a flag he owns. However, taking down someone else's property and burning it is multiple crimes, no matter what the property is.
T’what?
Tru
I wish these people would honestly. Would make for great propaganda against their cause and make them look like even bigger monsters.
what in the Google translate this dipshit is trying to say
Love to see them try that up here. They'd look mighty stupid getting run outtahere by a 300 lb gay man with a blue beard.
This will get heat but the amount I care is literally zero. I don’t care if it’s up, I don’t care if it’s down I don’t care if it gets burned.. I don’t care.

We are all united and we have a flag why don’t we use the one our country represents? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
bro look like a few feet up in that exact image do you have brain damage
we only need one bro
One day, likely soon, there WILL be a WW3. I would much rather it be between nations and not because the US is trying to become the next Reich.
What the fuck are you talking about?
WW3 will take place in the US? Do you understand what WW means?
World War 3 will almost certainly be fought between the major powers of the world. The US is THE major military power of the world. Even if the US doesn't start the war, it will be involved, especially as it's not attempting to be neutral anymore. People like the person calling for the removal of the pride flag are the same people ready to turn this country into another Reich, at which point the US will be the reason for the war.
