What is wrong with these people? So now they will be offended by people displaying "We support our troops" signs? When they can write up any sign they please, and than scream how it's "freedom of speech" These people are truly crazy hypocrite lunatics with wayyyy to much time on their hands. Occupy Supporter Demands We Support Our Troops Sign Be Taken Down From MN Building Posted on January 30, 2012 An Occupy supporter in Little Falls, Minnesota, is demanding that a We Support Our Troops sign be removed from a building in her hometown. The woman, named Robin Hensel, is taking this combative action after city officials told her she needed to remove an excessive number of signs and posters that were once present in her frontyard. According to officials, residents are only legally allowed to display one sign on their property a city code that Hansel takes particular issue with. So, in response to the citys code enforcement, she has set her sights on the pro-troop sign, which she says also violates local code. In an interview with KSTP-TV, Hensel said that her original posters were merely promoting ideas that promote peace and justice and she lamented the citys crackdown on them. The posters took particular aim at the U.S. government and the War on Terror. If good people that are passionate about their causes dont find a platform to be able to speak out freely in a peaceful kind of way were in trouble, she said. Once she was forced to remove her signs, she found other ways to display her messaging. Rather than posting signs in her front yard, she has now posted them all over her van, on the windows of her home and she has erected a ladder with the one permitted sign she can have on her front yard. It reads, in part, Occupy the Dream. Of the towns Support Our Troops sign, she says that city code requires both a permit and approval from the citys historic preservation committee. Hensel says that the banner has neither and, thus, it should be taken down. But her issue with the mural transcends the mere code violations. The sign suggests that some of us dont support our troops, she says. The truth is we all do through taxation.

On Martin Luther King Day, Hansel organized and took part in a local Occupy the Dream event, as she has continued to support the anti-Wall Street movement that took form last September. click here for video: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/occ...r-troops-sign-be-taken-down-from-mn-building/
I'm sure she'd have no problem walking down the street and seeing huge banners of Stalin hanging from every building.
well bless her heart at least she is occupying her own home. I'd hate to be her neighbor and her feelings toward the troops is not a surprise
Of course not. These are far left liberals. Of course they are offended by the military just like they are offended by police.
They've found a niche in the "victim-hood" market and intend to make full use of the platform to avoid looking closely at their own failures. "Occupy" is a great outlet to occupy loosers.
Exactly... they don't have time to go find a job, they've gotta pick up their protest sign and check in at the park at 0900!
Who's surprised by this bubblehead's opinion on what constitutes free speech? These are the same sorts of people who fabricated a notion of "separation of church and state" which doesn't exist legally either, so intruding into other examples of free speech by claiming offense is just going to be open season.
She's just another baby throwing a tantrum. Someone made her take her signs down..so she's going to stamp her feet, and try and get someone else to do the same. OWS is a garbage movement, filled with garbage people.
but, they are an example of what liberalism has brought us. From everyone winning in youth sports, to political correctness, to vilifying those who have had success
