One resident in an Ohio town is fighting back against the woke mob. Not by himself, rather, but with the help of his neighbors.
If you’ve been awake and alive in the United States since 2020, you know the “thin blue line” and the associated flag. It’s simply a symbol to show that you back the blue. It is just a token to show people you support the police and all they do.
I’ve never viewed it as anything political, unlike the “black lives matters” signs scattered across the lawns of affluent white neighborhoods all over America. Talk about the ultimate in virtue signaling, but I digress.
No, the “thin blue line” is just a small honor to the police.
In fact, for one Ohio man, it’s a memorial to his son, a fallen officer. 10tv.com reports:
Tom Disario sat anxiously until just before 8:00 p.m. when the sound of law enforcement sirens drove right past his front door.
A caravan of about 20 cruisers from different Licking County law enforcement agencies honored fallen officers. It was an act of gratitude for the Disarios, whose son, Kirkersville Police Chief Steven Eric Disario, died five years ago in the line of duty.
Being the father of a law enforcement officer, I can only begin to tell you the stress, worry, and constant fear I live with regarding my son’s safety. To live through what this man has is unfathomable.
10tv continued:
Since that day, the Disarios have flown a police flag in the front yard. Last week, the OMNI Community Association Managers told Disario to take it down, calling it a political statement after a complaint was made.
I feel considerable anger and resentment, so one can only imagine what Mr. Disario must’ve felt.
Tom Disario had been flying his police flag for more than five years, ever since his son was shot and killed in the line of duty. Then, a neighbor complained to his homeowners association. https://t.co/6GfEF1SVxa

When you sign an agreement with an HOA, I certainly understand that you must abide. However, I would never sign, so I better stay in my neighborhood. That being said, the flag had been flown for five years.
There hasn’t been a problem in 5 years. Just because one piece of lib trash complained doesn’t mean it should come down. It isn’t a political statement; instead, it’s to commemorate his DEAD SON. Let that sink in. Someone was so in their feels and so self-important that they complained that a man was flying a police flag for his dead child, and the HOA sided with the lib complainer!! Unreal.
Well, I am not the only person outraged. Disarios’ neighbors have rallied around him.
One week later, Disarios’ neighbors, fed up with the argument, show support.
“We support his decision,” Lori Shoemaker said. “I don’t see this flag as being political.”
“The thin blue line is not political,” Wally Baumbusch said.
“Is this flag political,” 10TV’s Bryant Somerville asked neighbor Matt Westlake, to which he replied, “absolutely not.”
By Monday, a dozen police flags had popped up.
“I did not have it in my yard before, but when the controversy arose we ordered one,” Baumbusch said.
This show of support makes me believe there are still good, caring, upstanding people left. This is a feel-good story, folks. There aren’t many of those these days.
“Yes, I signed a contract,” Baumbusch said. “But, at the end of the day, I’m an American first.”
Baumbusch calls it a constitutional right worth defending.
“We have to protect it,” he said. “And, if that means we got to do a little head-butting with our HOA, then I guess that’s what we’ll do.”
Friends, absorb this story. Try to feel the grief of Mr. Disario. Then know that there are good people, true Americans willing to stand beside us and fight for what’s right. One HOA at a time if that’s what it takes.
