DECORAH, IOWA – Gay pride flags were stolen recently in Decorah, but alleged apologies have been given by a teen boy.

The Decorah Police Department reported this week that they received numerous reports of Gay Pride flags stolen from homes around town over the weekend. “It is appearing obvious the person(s) involved dislike what these flags represent and these thefts reflect a negative image on our community,” police said in a statement. They also made it cleat that they were investigating, and possible charges of fifth-degree theft would be brought if the culprits were caught.

Just days later, some Decorah residents are posting to social media that a high school boy has come forward and approached some of the victims in this case and apologized. Decorah resident Jeni Holtan Grouws, who is the station manager at KDEC FM, claims “a high school boy going around apologizing for what he and his buddies did last night. It has been bothering him all day and he is going around personally making amends to each family. On top of that, he is planning on picking up the flags from Letterwerks and paying for them to replace each family’s missing flag.”

  1. Sunde – I read an article in the MC paper today about a korean war vet who on the front lines said he never really aimed to kill the enemy and believed he never did – I say to you that this man caused some of his fellow soldiers to be killed yet he returned home – snowflakes are dangerous to Patriots – quit drinking the demorat koolaid crap.

  2. Much more important than the old stars and stripes – most military men find they make good toilet wipes.
