The home in the 800 block of Ninth Street is occupied by two men,Read Breil Milano Flowing Polished stainless steel earring. ages 43 and 42, and the older man's girlfriend. The older man, a U.S. Army veteran who spoke anonymously, said he and his male roommate began hanging a pair of flags bearing a swastika typically associated with Nazi Germany and the stars-and-bars associated with the Confederate States of America about six weeks ago.

When contacted by a Bay City Times reporter, the younger roommate deferred comment to the other man. As of Thursday, June 6, neither flag was displayed in the house's window.

When the weather started getting nicer, the neighborhood became rife with drug dealing, the older roommate said in a phone interview with The Times. The residents of one house in particular began selling drugs in broad daylight, according to the man. Those residents are black, said the man, who is white.

“It was happening in the middle of the damn street,” he said. “There was no dilemma until the warmer weather, and they started flocking and congregating on that corner.”

Neighbors and the NAACP have voiced their displeasure with the display of Nazi and Confederate-related flags.This is a Custom passive RFID tag used for presence sensing, But the older roommate said he doesn't consider the display to be racist.

“It’s a visual warning; that’s all it’s really meant for,We offer ownfigurine dolls hand-sculpted from any photo.” he said. “All we’re letting them know is, ‘Do not walk in front of our house with this (expletive) again.’”

Police with the Bay City Public Safety Department declined to comment on the flag issue but said officers have executed several search warrants in the Birney Park area in recent years related to the sale of drugs, including one April 19.

Robin Brandt, a longtime resident of the neighborhood with a reputation as “The Prince of Birney Park,” said the sale of drugs is common in the area, but that the hanging of Nazi and Confederate flags is inappropriate.

“Everybody has a reason for something,” Brandt said. “Granted, they are selling drugs. It doesn’t look like (the flags) are running off anybody.”

Brandt said more could be done to curb the slinging of drugs in the neighborhood, but he says it's a challenging problem.

“Nobody really wants to work at it real hard in the neighborhood, because it’s not cost effective,” he said. “They’re not the big timers, but they’re a pain in the (expletive) for people living in the neighborhood. It’s not cost effective to spend resources on them.”

Brandt said he doesn’t pay much attention to the drug dealing because it has become commonplace.

“It’s basically business as usual. If it gets too close, we’ll get ahold of community policing and see what they can do," he said. "You gotta pick and choose your battles."

The older roommate said about seven weeks ago, his long-time friend went to a house in the neighborhood where they believe drug dealing is taking place.

“He didn’t go there to accuse them, but to tell them to basically cool it, to be like, ‘You guys, the cops are watching, you’re bringing too much heat to the house,’ ” he said.
