one of the most progressive towns in the land.
http://www.mercurynews.com/central-coast/ci_13908125The Nazi flags came down from an apartment window on Pacific Avenue on Tuesday, but community members outraged by the swastikas hung over the weekend are considering a letter-writing campaign to change the rental agreement for tenants living in the Residences at the St. George.
"What we're trying to investigate is whether or not the landlord can have a clause in the rental agreement to say that things hanging in the window cannot have symbols of hate," said Rabbi Paula Marcus with Temple Beth El in Aptos....
The controversy began after a tenant living above a clothing store on Pacific Avenue displayed German Nazi swastika flags in his windows all weekend and through Monday night. The flags are a symbol of Adolph Hitler's Third Reich, which killed more than 6 million Jews before and during World War II.
Tuesday, the Nazi flags were replaced with American, British, Norwegian and modern German flags, deflating the immediate sense of outrage that many downtown felt in the days prior. The apartment tenant has not been identified.:wtf: was he thinking? He's lucky people didn't come up there with pitchforks and torches! :grr:
