Nancy and Lubomir commissioned the mural as a gift to their son, who has autism.

Here we go. The start of the sob story. "Make an exception to the law for me because my son has autism".

(If the parents are any example, my guess is that he's an out-of-control spoiled brat who has been misdiagnosed with ADD which everyone today calls autism.)

Why not put the mural on the inside walls where their "autistic" son can see it all the time, day or night?

Who is right?

To those that forget history will be forced to relive it!

They had no HOA, they checked with city code and no issue was raised.

Yet after they painted it, they received a city citation claiming the wall art was graffiti—that the wall had to match the color of the house. So the couple decided to paint the whole house to match to avoid any issue.

In the case of Nancy and Lubomir, they violated no law. They were merely victims of an arbitrarily banal exertion of power by busybodies that presume control.

Nancy and Lubomir are selfish narcissists who disrespect others while portraying themselves are (yawn) "VICTIMS!!" Neighbor $$$ is affected. Opposition to such defacement is NOT "arbitrary"; it's perfected EXPECTED.

YOUR perspective: Why even bother to wear clothes outside their trashy pad? Maybe a Porn Shop should also open next door? Maybe you believe all of THAT are also "arbitrary banal exertion of power by busybodies"??

Buy a house in the woods away from OTHERS... then get stupid and go crazy.

They had no HOA, they checked with city code and no issue was raised.

Little thing called ZONING.

The fact that you bring down the value of houses around you. This is also blockbusters use to get white people to leave.

Who is right?

YOU! (And the immediate neighbors affected by this insanity.)

The couple decided to paint the whole house to match to avoid any issue.

SPITEFUL LIBERALS.

This broad looks like a soul-less Hillay-voting liberal psycho.

Maybe a Porn Shop should also open next door? Maybe you believe all of THAT are also "arbitrary banal exertion of power by busybodies"??

Yeah sure - a porn shop is the same as someone painting their home.

Nancy and her husband Lubomir decided to paint their house wall in interpretation of Vincent van Gogh’s famous Starry Night painting.

They had no HOA, they checked with city code and no issue was raised.

Yet after they painted it, they received a city citation claiming the wall art was graffiti...

Nope - nothing arbitrary about that.

Who is right?

Thanks to courage and the Pacific Legal Foundation, Nancy and Lubomir were victorious.

Facing a federal battle over constitutional rights and an onslaught of media attention, Mt. Dora reached a settlement. As part of the agreement, the mayor publicly apologized in a press conference.

Yeah sure - a porn shop is the same as someone painting their home.

Well, BOTH a disturbance to the neighbors AND neighborHOOD, aren't they?

You seem to believe the opposition to doing what ever you want are "busybodies" who "arbitrarily" screw the home values of others.

These are obviously bad neighbors who DGAS about others.

They had no HOA, they checked with city code and no issue was raised.

Well, an issue WAS raised, wasn't it? That's called "CIVILIZATION" and "respect" for others.

If *I* were a neighbor, there'd have been a yuge problem.

Thanks to courage and the Pacific Legal Foundation, Nancy and Lubomir were victorious.

Thanks to ASSHOLES defending liberal, spiteful ASSHOLES, another "victory" for ASSHOLES is won.

Pat yourself on the back.

...federal battle over constitutional rights...

You do remember what those are, right?

They want to drag her down to their s**thole level.

As part of the agreement, the mayor publicly apologized in a press conference.

Looking down the barrel of ACLU type monied-lawyers and social-media SJWs who coerced him into his so-called "apology".

TYPICAL MO. But yet you don't see it. Stunning.

...federal battle over constitutional rights...

You do remember what those are, right?

Chyeah. Just like I can walk in PUBLIX nude...And scream insanity at the top of my lungs at 2:00 AM from my house out the window, RIGHT??

RIP common sense and logic by hyper-libertarianism (a line which is blurred with socialist defense of "freedom").

Thanks to courage and the Pacific Legal Foundation

D.M. & Z.G. v. Minnesota State High School League

D.M. & Z.G. v. Minnesota State High School League

When 16-year-old Dmitri Moua discovered dancing, he also found a new way to be a part of a team, and build his self-confidence. But when he wanted to join his high school’s competitive dance team, he was denied because he is a boy. Dmitri’s school is in the Minnesota High School League—whose bylaws declare competitive dance a “girls only” sport. On behalf of Dmitri, Pacific Legal Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the rule’s constitutionality.

And THIS SJW crap:

It’s time to give children in Hartford the education they deserve

By Wen Fa Attorney

World-class magnet schools in Hartford, Connecticut provide thousands of students with a quality education. The schools also provide hope for scores of minority students in Hartford, who currently attend failing neighborhood schools. Unfortunately, a pernicious Connecticut law, which reserves 25% of magnet school seats for whites and Asians, prevents Black and Hispanic students from enrolling in schools with empty seats. That is not right. Schools shouldn’t turn away students just because of their race.

In February, eight brave Black and Hispanic families filed a federal civil rights lawsuit to put an end to Connecticut’s discrimination. On the other side, Connecticut and other groups filed briefs in support of the state’s discriminatory status quo.

Florida Man Paints American Flag on House in Protest

Bet you love that guy and his house.

The neighbors are jealous that their houses look like caca compared to the starry night, and that it's now valued higher than theirs.

From what I've read - the neighbors weren't complaining.

It was the bureaucrats in city government who tried to put the kibosh on this family's out-of-the-ordinary paint scheme.

I can walk in PUBLIX nude...And scream insanity at the top of my lungs at 2:00 AM from my house out the window

You've got some weird fantasies, far beyond starry night.

Be all you can be!

That's something you do on a wall by pool or something. Maybe a room inside the house. But the whole house? That a scream for mental health help!

That's just crazy to paint a house like that. Someone had to complain. I know I would have. Talk about killing house values.

Cray-cray. DONE OUT OF 100% TYPICAL LIBERAL-LEFT SPITE. Any sane, logical neighbor would complain. This is just outright disrespectful of ALL neighbors.

[Painting] the whole house? That a scream for mental health help!

Typical liberal-Dem-Leftists ARE mentally ill.

Now had Deckard lived next door to that AND been trying to sell his house, HE'D have beaten down the door to City Hall. (Unless he now insists supposed "FREE SPEECH" supersedes his $50k-100k loss. Well DO YOU, DECKARD??)

That you would conflate these two totally different cases and personalities makes me worry about your own mental health. And degree of intellectual honesty.

[Painting] the whole house? That a scream for mental health help!

Typical liberal-Dem-Leftists ARE mentally ill.

Florida Man Paints American Flag on House in Protest

"This is still America," said Brent Greer, who lives in Bradenton, Florida.

Now had Deckard lived next door to that AND been trying to sell his house, HE'D have beaten down the door to City Hall.

Nope - any more assumption Sport?

(Unless he now insists supposed "FREE SPEECH" supersedes his $50k-100k loss. Well DO YOU, DECKARD??)

First off yukon - stop your effing yelling you self-righteous clown.

The folks WON their case - and you whining little babies are still butt-hurt.

Why? Becuase the owners refused to conform to some arbitrary gooberment standard.

Grow up and get over it.

Not crazy about that "flag" paint job, but he was making a temporary salient point about PRIOR and SELECT OVER-OFFICIOUNESS.

Temporary my ass!

And just as I predicted you cheer this guy because he painted his house red white and blue.

The Stary Night owners did THE VERY SAME THING, yet they are ANARCHISTS and Flag-boy is a hero.

Freaking hypocritical tool.

YOU are the one ironically "conforming" and "obeying".

Yeah - whatever Spanky.

In a scenario where you've got your house up for sale and your neighbor graffiti's their house, ARE YOU SILENT and eating the $50-100k hit because of supposed "1A "Rights"??

First off yukon - stop your effing yelling you self-righteous clown.

Lol. Now THAT hurt.

The folks WON their case - and you whining little babies are still butt-hurt.

You seem to be the self-righteous whining little baby and clown, yapping like an ACLU-type Poodle who "won" by TKO. The Mayor made a financial decision not to bankrupt a town. Remember -- HE represents the best interests of constituency. The public apology was EXTORTED.

Then again, what should we expect from courts stacked with Lefty Judges and a mob of typical out-of-town SJW attorneys who live in their Gated Communitahs -- attorneys backed by Big Lefty Money.

We are already quite familiar with the MO of ACLU types who defend spiteful jerks and their supposed "right" to deface their home with ZERO regard and respect for the neighborhood. WHILE calling all their liberal "News" pals and Social Media thugs, an expressed threat that ostensibly engages in coercion and extortion.

Yeah, all kinds of idiocy and insanity are "winning" in courts these days. "Gay" Marriage, Men who sue for the "right" to be called "girls"; The "right" to murder babies in the womb; and on & on.

The owners refused to conform to some arbitrary gooberment standard [of local neighborhood normalcy].

Yeah. Why bother with pesky standards of behavior?

You'd probably LOVE a drug rehab center opening up shop next door to you, right?

And just as I predicted you cheer this guy because he painted his house red white and blue.

If you're going to be a Big Bullsh*tter, I'm going to call you out on it.

The Stary Night owners did THE VERY SAME THING, yet they are ANARCHISTS and Flag-boy is a hero.

Nice fairy tale. Too bad it's more bad BS. Taking lessons from MSNBC and Jim Acosta now?

your neighbor graffiti's their house

Vincent van Gogh was a graffiti artist? Oh my sides!

Why do I even waste my time on you cretin?

Yeah, all kinds of idiocy and insanity are "winning" in courts these days. "Gay" Marriage, Men who sue for the "right" to be called "girls"; The "right" to murder babies in the womb; and on & on.

That you equate a homeowner choosing to assert his own property rights with the bullshit you just posted just shows how far off the deep end you've gone.

A Federal Court sided with the homeowner. Even the mayor stated: "The city will undertake a prompt and comprehensive review of our present codes in light of the court findings." Which in essence he is admitting that the policies were wrong.

Don't try and make this into a huge leftist/SJW/BLM/Antifa tin-foil hat conspiracy.

Stop whining about irrelevant drug rehab centers and porn shops - the owners in this case are free to exercise their rights.

Aren't you punitive populists always saying "If you don't like the law, work to get it changed"?

Guess what? They did get the law changed - Too effing bad for you and your repressive ilk.

The Stary Night owners did THE VERY SAME THING, yet they are ANARCHISTS and Flag-boy is a hero.

Nice fairy tale. Too bad it's more bad BS.

Whatever dude - Flaghouse boy is a hero - and the Starry Night homeowners are anarchists.

Typical Trump cultist logic.

Property rights are only for those who think like you.

The flag house was done tastefully and the other house is grotesque at best.

Your art critique of the paint job, is about as valuable as Hillary's film critics reaction in Bengazi.

It's not a good excuse to go on a jihad.

Film critics didn't like Hillary's movie so... JIHAD!

Whether you like it or not you have to think of the people around you and your unreasonable actions that can harm them. You do not have a right to open up a business at a house in a planned neighborhood. Part of the value of the house is the neighborhood.
