I dont have the link to this but if i find it i will post it. this was on ch4 news here in nashville.
a woman was awarded 100,000 dollars because she was offended by a blue lives matter flag that was on the back of a co-worker - this woman was of african american decent if it matters.. I am getting, no make that, i am tired of all this pc poop.. the lawer that took that case should be disbarred and the judge that awarded her the money should be de throned..

found it: https://www.wsmv.com/news/us_world_news/employee-to-receive-k-after-complaining-about-coworker-s-blue/article_901ecef7-a4ba-5793-8dff-83f0c2653331.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=meredithHub&utm_campaign=1530&fbclid=IwAR0KO38bCN3XS1BlqhCkT_ejakUINInDcUJKSnlqRk1rG-m_K2DKFHrJcIg

I'm not defending this nonsense, but for those who haven't read the article, the lawsuit was about harassment she received after asking the flag be taken down, not over the flag itself per se.

Still ridiculous, but a subtle but important difference.

               There are quite a lot of "movements" that upset-nay-P M O Royally but I could not bring myself to bring legal proceedings. After reflection and on the face of my P O I may be the only one and suing would I M H O make no sense. I've heard you can sue for just about anything. The very Fact their are judgements in favor of plaintiffs that appear trivial Never Ceases to amaze and yes-Anger me. And where do they believe-those awarded the money-that their money comes from? Anybody sides me remember when the doofus sued over coffee being too hot and won? RIDE SAFE.

It’s probably just a case of some people looking for some easy money. Lawyers included.

Yeah, I read the article and felt the title of the piece was pretty misleading.

The issue was about being harassed on the job after the issue with the flag. Not much was revealed about that in the article.

What is incredulous about this is that that very flag represents and honors the very people that were complaining about it. They too were in the law enforcement family. Not perhaps in a direct way but in a major supporting role.

As to the decision, probably a good one all around. A 100,000 dollars. Much of it lawyer and court fees I would guess and probably cheaper than having to play this out fully.

But the Blue lives matter flag was put up after she posted her "equality wall", with pictures of all the black thugs that were "killed by police", and she thought the Blue lives matter flag corrupted her black lives matter slogan. F-Her. Why wasn't she forced to take down her "equality wall"?

She did that after the fact.  According to this article anyway. I can't  believe some people's feelings get hurt so easily. I can't remember last time my feelings were hurt. My wife says I have to have feelings before anyone can hurt them. I think she may be onto something.  Now time to go buy me a blue lives matter sweatshirt  cooldude

For me it was recently when someone was appreciating one of my Valks, then says "Nice Harley!"
