| 2009-10-28 |
| A 52-year-old Lindenhurst resident annoyed his neighbors by hanging a Nazi swastika flag from the chimney of his house - until his mother made him take it down. At least one neighbor called Suffolk police Sunday night to complain that the symbol of hate was hanging in public view from the home on 41st Street. Property records and neighbors say the home is occupied by Richard Greggs. Though police said they are not investigating Greggs, Commissioner Richard Dormer said, "While courts have upheld the rights of these individuals to promote these disgusting symbols, all decent people must denounce it vigorously." The complaints generated enough media attention that Greggs' mother, 75, who also lives at the brown-shingled cape house, ordered him late Sunday to remove it. "And get back in the basement where you belong, Junior!" "Jawhol, mein Mamafuehrer!" "And cut it out with the Sergeant Schultz imitation. Goose-step like that again and I'll cook your goose!" "I'm sorry, Mom." "Don't 'sorry' me, buster. Why can't you get a job and a wife like all the other boys your age?" |
