DALLAS - Frank Larison is a disabled veteran with more than 14 years of service, including more than a year of combat duty in Vietnam.
The 58-year-old former Marine now finds himself under attack by his Dallas homeowners association for displaying seven decals on his vehicle supporting the Marine Corps.
"To me, it's being patriotic, and it shows that I served," the veteran told FOX 4.
The board says the decals are advertisements that violate HOA rules, and must be covered or removed.
Otherwise, the homeowners association for The Woodlands II on The Creek --- where Larimore has lived for eight years --- says in a letter it will tow the car at Larimore's expense. The board also threatens to fine him $50 for any future incident.
Larimore says the decals, ranging from the Marine emblem to Semper Fi slogans, aren't advertisements for anything. "You can't buy freedom," he reasoned.
Some neighbors are outraged.
"That is his identity," said neighbor Mary Castagna. "He goes to a lot of the veteran meetings, and it means a lot to him. Everyone else agrees with it; it doesn't bother anybody."
"He's in the Marines, and he's proud of it, and I don't blame him," said neighbor Paul Hardy. "If I'd gone through what he's gone through, I'd be kind of proud of it myself."
The letter from the board states you can't have any form of advertisement anywhere on your car on your property. FOX 4 cameras spotted bumper stickers for political parties, health causes, and other non-commercial interests on the property as well.
One board member said he was unaware the HOA presidents sent the letter and did not know of any issue with Larimore's vehicle.
"I will be looking into it," said board member Art Bradford. "I didn't know anything about this. I haven't seen this."
The board president was out of town and unavailable. The condo management company did not want to comment.

The Woodlands in north Houston is an uppity yuppie place. It doesn't surprise me. Piss me right the fuck off though, the Home Owners Association can FUCK OFF. They are always bitching about shit like this or trying to fine you $500 if your trash is visible from the street, or if you have a trailer in your driveway. Fuck' em!

[Ops NCO]

I'll never live in a place with a homeowner's association, just for dumb reasons like this.

I think he should start shooting clay pigeons off his front porch. Bet that's not covered in the neighborhood rules....

HOAs are just local Nazi chapters. They remind me of teenage babysitters who go mad with power the first time they are left in charge.

Yet another reason I would never live in a herd type development. To many idiots living to close wanting to get into your business.

[abnbull]

This is one of the main reasons why I choose to live oout in the country with only corn and soybeans for neighbors.

And I can shoot clay pigeons off my back porch without anybody complaining.

This sort of TOTAL BULLSHIT is why I came to Alaska in 1975. But now it seems we have been infiltrated with asswipes that think like that fucking home owners group. Although we don't have as many we are moving on up in the world. Hell boys, we got crack houses, drive by fucking shootings, punk ass gangs and all that modern shit! I have about got to old to move and too pissed off to be run out so I buy more ammo. I got another 200 rounds of .223 yesterday foe $101. No sales Tax!

FUCK OBAMA and Fuck all this modern shit that is disturbing my sanctuary!

Fuck the clay pigeons Ops lets just shoot some real pigeons off his front porch,you shoot i'll pull then you pull and i'll shoot.

Me too. But I can shoot at real pigeons (doves) and other food sources w/o going mor than 100 yards if I want.

Whoever from the HOA that authorised the letter needs an ass whoopin', initiated by a throat punch and finsihed with a one way ticket to Mexico.

I would tell the homeowners to PROVE that generic USMC stickers are advertisments. Then I would add a warning. ANYONE tresspassing on my property without permission will be dealt with Marine Corps fashion.

What if this guy has Airborne Wings on his car........it's a decal not an advertisment.

Fucking HOAs.

[Rocket1972]

First the fucking flag is too big and then this. I hate to say it fellas but this is how our country is heading with more and more of this bullshit pansy assed thinking. Someone needs to pay a visit to the HOA and set them straight the good old wall to wall counseling way.

Most HOA's just provide a convenient excuse for otherwise useless people to get in touch with their inner Nazi.

Believe it.

They want me to resurface my driveway by August.

Bungholes! I was already planning it! One of the Rules we have to live with here is that garbage cans must be brought in by the next day. Very often you'll see garbage cans left out TWO DAYS after the pickup.

[LOOON]

HOA's are usually fucked up about stupid ass shit like this. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Many years ago the HH6 and I purchased a lot at a local HOA. Real nice place, nice houses, etc. Then we read the HOA rules. What a fuckin but of nonsense. No campers, boats, motor homes, motorcycles, off road vehicles, or riding mowers, could be parked in the open on your property. Flag poles and flags had to be a specific size and approved. Decks had to be behind the house and a specific size and height. No sheds or storage buildings except garages on your property. No outside TV or Short wave radio antennas. etc etc etc. I said fuck that, we sold the lot.
