Justin Schroeder, 36, had returned home after running errands only to find a note at his front door. \u201cMan, I don\u2019t even know where to start,\u201d he said in the Facebook Live video. \u201cI\u2019ve met some stupid people in my lifetime, but this takes the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then read the note: \u201cDear neighbor, I am disgusted you would fly this symbol of hate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schroeder panned his camera towards the American flag at the front of his home.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudging by the trucks in your driveway, I can only assume you voted for Trump,\u201d he read, and then showed viewers the vehicles parked in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a disgusting house, and Bozeman deserves better,\u201d Schroeder read, then quickly responded: \u201cYou\u2019re right \u2013 it does. Pack your s–t and leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter continued: \u201cIf not taken down by tonight, I will take it down myself. This is not a fight you want. We will win. Sincerely, your neighbor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schroeder crumpled the note and threw it on the ground. He then replied; \u201cI\u2019ve met some stupid f–king people in my lifetime, but I can tell you right now, that flag right there? That flag ain\u2019t comin\u2019 down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He walked out on the street, and told viewers that he just realized that he was the only person on his street flying an American flag outside the house.<\/p>\n

He stated, \u201cI just don\u2019t get it. This flag is a symbol of freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis flag flies year-round at my house,\u201d he said. \u201cIt will never come down.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cAnd to the person that thinks they\u2019re gonna try to take it down? I\u2019ll break your f–king fingers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video amassed over 700,000 views and 19,000 shares.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Blue Lives Matter, Schroeder said, \u201cIt\u2019s been unreal the amount of support I\u2019ve gotten from people,\u201d and that a stranger drove to his home and gave him a new flag just in case the neighbor stole the other one.<\/p>\n

A few people offered to camp outside Schroeder\u2019s home to protect him and the flag, while others urged him to report the matter to police.<\/p>\n

He replied: \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to bother the police. They\u2019ve got bigger things to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n

He admitted that he had received a number of death threats and negative comments: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t phase me. Somebody got triggered\u2026 If I was that person, I\u2019d be hiding under a rock right now,\u201d he said dismissively.<\/p>\n
