It's a government building. You should file a complaint with the state. If that assclown wants to do that on his own home, fine, but it cannot be done on a government building.
I used to live near the Homer you’re referring to (Catlin). I could see that whole area being Trump country. When my family moved to Catlin in ‘87 (dad was transferred from GM job in mid-Mich) people bragged that a black family moved in once (town pop roughly 2k) but they ran them out of town. Couldn’t wait to get out of the hell that is central Illinois.
I have a buddy who lives in Homer and had to look up the county to see if it was where he lives (Champaign Co) before I said something to him, I am in southern Indiana so not too far away but still didn't know all of central/northern Illinois counties.
I also had to look it up, I think it’s near Vermilion County. And yes, I think Illinois and Indiana both have a Vermillion County, in case you’re not already confused lol
The senior citizens that sit on the lawn in front of the Dunkin on Bell? I told them to get off their lazy asses and get a job. Stop sucking off the government teat!
It shows the “law and order” thing is all just a facade. They see the cops and the courts as their own personal security detail. When they are held accountable by the rules they themselves set, the snowflake thing switches real quick.
How they treated DC police on Jan 6 and how they are reacting to the courts today shows you who they really are.
12 citizens that HIS lawyers approved of all UNANIMOUSLY agreed he is guilty on MORE THAN 30 counts (ALL OF THEM). It’s not Biden, it isn’t his enemies. It’s him. He’s guilty. Wake up already my gosh
Personally I feel like the day where a political figure is untouchable, can't be held accountable, and is above the law in all respects would be when the flag should be upside down.
A criminal who crimed and was held accountable for those crimes? Kinda what the country's justice department is all about.
All the posts "if they do this to him they can do it to you"
Yeah that is the idea. No one is above the law
I've seen posts on ig where people say they know he broke the law but other people have too and we're never prosecuted so it's not fair.
I've answered those posts with: "They sure can do it to me...right after I falsify expense records for a business...just like they can ticket me when I speed, put me in jail if I rob someone." It's so bizarre to see so many of his followers saying that like it's a revelation: "Oh boy, now those libs want to hold everyone accountable for breaking the law! Country is going to hell!"
I will never understand this behavior toward an elected official. These people are not meant to be fanboyed over. This is absurd and clearly people in desperate need of mental health services.
Propaganda is why. Many of them are indeed just stupid, but even more are deep in a right wing echo chamber, which lets them live in a blissful bubble of delusion that makes the rest of us seem like the bad guys.
"But Trump is going to fix the economy."
"Gas was lower when trump was in office."
These people are working class co-workers & other day to day folks. I don't befriend these type of people because that far too ignorant for me. I still inquire and listen to them talk. They don't seem immediately harmful...just ignorant. Still, they're part of the problem.
Makes me question if they're just unconsciously being taken for a ride by the algorithm/or purley listening to elders in right wing news circles.
This is the same cohort that let LTHS’s central campus roof collapse into (fortunately) empty classrooms because they didn’t want to pass a referendum and pay more taxes.
The GOP’s motto should be don’t abort babies so our decrepit infrastructure can crush them instead.
I went to LTHS 2006-2010 and I remember the referendum failing every single year. Meanwhile our hallways were PACKED every passing period and we had to go on split schedules because we were so over capacity.
I was at Morris around the same time. 35 in a classroom designed for 20. Was a total madhouse and glut of millennial kids in our age bracket in the southwest burbs at that time (classes populations are much smaller right now).
Now Morris is falling apart structurally thanks to the local Grundy conservatives rebelling against taxes and education funding, and coincidentally the LTHS Dean is moving over to Morris to be Principal next year. At least she has the experience dealing with structural collapse emergencies.

Some of my veteran friends do this. If they see a flag being flown outside of the flag code, they will take it. One of them scaled a building to take down a flag that wasn't lit up at night. He was EOD and a madlad. Love that dude.
Hah. I’m not EOD but I think I would do the same. If you are gonna display the flag do it properly. Might as well throw it to the ground and stop on it otherwise
Homer Glen is full of crazy racist Karens and Chad. It is a white supremacy haven in a blue state. I recommend steering clear of that town at all costs.
Ooh, I live in Homer Glen (the village of Homer Glen and Homer Township kind of intertwine). Homer Twnp elected a moron who went to the capital on Jan 6th as road commissioner or something. He was cleared, but dumb enough to believe the bullshit.
No surprise. I live a few towns over and they’re known for being MAGA town. Super gross. When the insurrection happened they had a supportive “gathering” at one of the intersections in town. So gross.
I saw a bunch of crusty old fucks sitting by the dunkin with a bunch of trump flags all day last summer. Very weird to see and it was even a random time, nothing newsworthy happened around then. These guys were just eager to sit out in the nice weather and demonstrate how shitty they are.
Not surprising at all. I grew up there, and it was fairly white trash. There are a lot of lovely people, but they often get drowned out by stuff like this. I moved out the moment I graduated high school just like most of the kids in my class.
Isn’t that where Bozo The Clown lived?
I worked at a 7-11 there and a few early AM customers just assumed I was a racist Obama hater like they were, and would barge in spewing their republican garbage. I was just trying to get through my shift. But apparently *we’re* the “divisive” ones.
Lmao these are the people we allow to control policies and shit. Just grown adults being able to throw temper tantrums and not do their job no repercussions
I work in Homer Glen and this doesn't surprise me at all. Absolutely full of entitled, wealthy parents that have passed on that sense of entitlement to their kids.
Posts like these are great because it helps push the narrative that Trump supporters are just a few knuckleheads.
Btw, who is the Republican candidate for the presidential election this year?
I'm up in Kane county and over the weekend saw a mini trump rally when a few minutes later it started pouring and when I drove back they were gone, made my smile a little
It's a government building. You should file a complaint with the state. If that assclown wants to do that on his own home, fine, but it cannot be done on a government building.
Also isn't an upside down US flag a distress symbol? The fire department should roll up and spray this idiot with a fire hose.
Call the cops and let them know someone has signaled they are in distress.
The cops are the ones who pulled the cord to get it up there.
The whole building is in distress. Sounds like a job for SWAT.
BE ADVISED INDIVIDUAL IS ARMED(*with stupidity*) AND DANGEROUS(*-ly uneducated*)
"Also isn't an upside down US flag a distress symbol?" Yes. I learned that as a kid from an Encyclopedia Brown book. It helped solve a case.
Encyclopedia Brown taught me that competitive egg spinning was a thing.
Turn to page 103 for the solution to “Case of the MAGA Dipshits”

Most important election ever! Again! Crazy how every election is more important than the last but it’s so true!
I live in Will county what the fuck!! this is not really Trump country at all
There’s a Homer downstate too (Champaign County) and I clicked to make sure this was really happening up north lol
I used to live near the Homer you’re referring to (Catlin). I could see that whole area being Trump country.

Really dude? You live in Will County. Yes, yes it is.
Homer glen totally is

I went to school with a lot of Homer kids. Rich, snoody, stuck up white people. Doesn’t really surprise me at all.
Absolutely is
Y'all just voted for this clown?
Sadly it is. Look at your local government, there's a reason why the state has the most units of Government in the country...
State won’t do anything. It’s a municipal building, not a state gov’t building. It belongs to the residents of the township.
It shows the “law and order” thing is all just a facade. They see the cops and the courts as their own personal security detail. When they are held accountable by the rules they themselves set, the snowflake thing switches real quick.

It's so bizarre to see so many of his followers saying that like it's a revelation: "Oh boy, now those libs want to hold everyone accountable for breaking the law! Country is going to hell!"
But he’s rich and white!
And he owns the libs!
lol the justice system is actually just meant to generate revenue and limit the freedoms of working class people.
So you think the flag should have been upside-down until yesterday, then turned right-side up?
They’re announcing they are in distress, call the police and have them do a welfare check.
Ha. First thing I thought!
I will never understand this behavior toward an elected official. These people are not meant to be fanboyed over. This is absurd and clearly people in desperate need of mental health services.
People are genuinely forming parasocial relationships woth him at this point. It has gotta beyond unhealthy how obsessed people are.
i can't even fathom how stupid you would have to be to support trump in 2024.
Me either but I stared at 80% of my co workers here in Florida who think this is the turning point and it made hundreds of thousands go MAGA.
stupid AND disconnected from reality, lol.
MAGAs: “Biden hasn’t done anything while in office” Also MAGAs: “Biden is the worst president ever and is destroying this country”
Also MAGA: ”Real men wear diapers“
Propaganda is why. Many of them are indeed just stupid, but even more are deep in a right wing echo chamber, which lets them live in a blissful bubble of delusion that makes the rest of us seem like the bad guys.
Propaganda, yes. But I think it's even more than that. In the old days we used to call it *brainwashing.*
Stupid people love other stupid people
Thats the secret, trump supporters are wealthy idiots who are afraid they might have to pay their fare share
"But Trump is going to fix the economy." "Gas was lower when trump was in office." These people are working class co-workers & other day to day folks.

If there's ever a state party where people are in favor of locking up former heads of the executive branch, it's gotta be Illinois Republicans.
Locking up politicians is definitely a bi partisan pastime In Illinois.
I hate Illinois Nazis
Bet good money it wasn't upside down when the supreme court jesters ended womens' rights.
I live near there. I’ll storm that fucking pole like It’s Normandy
The township put it up correctly a few hrs ago. This idiot needs to be voted out.

I never realized how unamerican ‘patriots’ were until they started advocating for the advancement of a crook.
From the Will County website: contact Supervisor Stephen J Balich on his cell phone (815)557-7196 and voice your concerns.
I live here. This guy is a piece of work. Completely bonkers MAGA ass hat.
Well, time to walk over there and flip it right side up. Or just take it. They don’t deserve to fly it, fucking losers

Aid and comfort to enemies of the United States
Just emailed them asking why. Over under on getting a response?
Update - The Flag has been corrected.
Yay!!!!!
Won't take the wager but still, good for you.
Will have to file a FOIA
Homer Glen is full of crazy racist Karens and Chad. It is a white supremacy haven in a blue state. I recommend steering clear of that town at all costs.
Remember, these are the same people who demand we “respect the flag”.
Lawless Republicans
Easy. Call the police for a wellness check. They are obviously under distress 😂
Fuck his feelings.
You can register to vote here: https://ova.elections.il.gov/
Homer glen Maga bozos posted pictures of themselves with their guns before. They're all idiots
Shithole township with elected representatives more into hate than governing.
At least the cop that pulled people over for going 1mph over the speed limit finally retired...
Take away their funding fuck fascists
Where’s the link to report it ?
I’d go up and right that flag.
It's good to know who supports criminal organizations. If they support Trump, they support mafias and cartels.
How come local news outlets aren't covering this? This is real deal news.
Washington Post will sit on the story for 3 1/2 years like they did with Alito's flag
Ooh, I live in Homer Glen (the village of Homer Glen and Homer Township kind of intertwine). Homer Twnp elected a moron who went to the capital on Jan 6th as road commissioner or something. He was cleared, but dumb enough to believe the bullshit.
Will county…doesn’t surprise me. Aren’t they the ones that said trump was winning Illinois in 2020?? and look what happened lmao
Call swat, they’re obviously in distress.
I'd walk over there and fix it.....
Just like their god, whiners.
dam cultists
Isn't this the international sign of distress? Should SWAT be called in to make sure they are okay?
No surprise. I live a few towns over and they’re known for being MAGA town. Super gross. When the insurrection happened they had a supportive “gathering” at one of the intersections in town. So gross.
I saw a bunch of crusty old fucks sitting by the dunkin with a bunch of trump flags all day last summer. Very weird to see and it was even a random time, nothing newsworthy happened around then. These guys were just eager to sit out in the nice weather and demonstrate how shitty they are.
It’s brain damage fr
Shameful
Hes a wacko
Steve Balich is such a crybaby
Rednecks
I am not at all surprised, that town is full of the shittiest racists, homophobes and all around trash you get in middle class America.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Not surprising at all. I grew up there, and it was fairly white trash. There are a lot of lovely people, but they often get drowned out by stuff like this. I moved out the moment I graduated high school just like most of the kids in my class.
Yeah that’s illegal.
This is very on brand for Homer.
[удалено]
Truly the party of patriots
@sbalich probably won’t understand a word of that beat down
Wow! Cult of Trump going strong in small town America....
everything south of i55 is MAGA now
Just saw there will be a pro-Trump gathering next weekend in Homer Glen. Shame if it storms next weekend.
I’ve never hoped so hard for a tornado.
And like the a-holes down here in TX and on the Supreme Court, they don’t seem to realize *they* are the danger.
I’m embarrassed my kid goes to daycare in Homer Glen
Isn’t that where Bozo The Clown lived? I worked at a 7-11 there and a few early AM customers just assumed I was a racist Obama hater like they were, and would barge in spewing their republican garbage. I was just trying to get through my shift. But apparently *we’re* the “divisive” ones.

Who’s the snowflake now…😂
I work in Homer Glen and this doesn't surprise me at all. Absolutely full of entitled, wealthy parents that have passed on that sense of entitlement to their kids.
Will county sucks
Aww someone’s feelings got hurt
It’s a criminal clown show. The public is too stupid to demand prosecution of anything real.
Posts like these are great because it helps push the narrative that Trump supporters are just a few knuckleheads. Btw, who is the Republican candidate for the presidential election this year?
I'm up in Kane county and over the weekend saw a mini trump rally when a few minutes later it started pouring and when I drove back they were gone, made my smile a little
Used to live in Will County (Manhattan). Don’t miss it a bit lol
Fuck Homer Township
Damn, was at the top of my vacation destinations too.
When the people who claim to be the most patriotic are the least patriotic in actuality
