The inspector was identified as Melinda Power. About noon on Monday, WJXT reports Power went into the store to issue a citation that the flags were in violation of city code.
According to employees, the warning caused a customer to become upset. The customer can be seen in the store's surveillance video speaking with the inspector. "She says, 'What did you do for this country?' He says, 'I took three bullets to the leg. I almost lost my life for this country. I'm retired. I'm a veteran.' She gets in his face this close and says, 'You did nothing for this country,'" store employee Katie Klasse told WJXT.
“We are disturbed by some of the claims made about a City employee and are reviewing the facts. We are also reviewing the current ordinances regarding flags and signs to ensure accurate information was shared.
She said after that, tempers flared, and she admitted: "I should never have been unprofessional and disrespectful period. Sincerely apologize."

Think this might not be right for this blog? Well, I happened to find the same story on the B Body Mopars facebook page, and the Submarine Brotherhood page. That's quite a variety.
Nothing I have to say about this bitch can be repeated in public
