OK. Here Is The Real Scoop on This Story
The story going around with this pic is that some HOA would not let a fellow fly an American flag and this was his response...
Now HOAs are a pernicious blight upon our civilization and and those that run them and think they are swell are bad and should feel bad. Thus there is a lot to like about this story. However, this story breaks down upon the slightest thought. The quidnuncs that form Home Owners Associations are going to have as one of their first despicable acts, strict rules on what colors their victims can paint their houses. Thus this made little sense unless the fellow was just going whole hog in an effort to stick his thumb in their eye.
It turns out after 2 minutes of image searching that this is actually a dispute with a local historical society. Historical societies that enforce repair regulations are like HOAs with government sanction so this is actually even a better story than the fake (assuming Captain America here doesn't end up in jail).

HOAs having veto over the color of your house is exactly why I thought the store was fake as such, but I love the actual version even better.
Victorians come in such a wide variety of colors I can believe there aren't any restrictions on paint--I've seen black ones, pink ones, and other odd color combinations.
