Man Removes Nazi Flag Outside Mount Holly Home

MOUNT HOLLY, NC — What would you do if you drove past a Nazi flag flying on the side of your neighbor’s home?

Page Braswell tried to talk to Joe Love about it and posted a video of the confrontation on Facebook.

“Why do you fly a Nazi flag?” asked Braswell in the video.

“What’s it to you? Do you make the payments on this [expletive] house?” said Love.

Braswell responds by saying, “This is America, not Nazi Germany.”

“Well, don’t you worry about. You get your a [expletive] n your car, and get the hell out of here,” said Love.

WCCB Charlotte spoke to Braswell after.

“We need to confront it every single time we see it, whether it’s our family, our coworkers, our, you know, our friends,” said Braswell. “Sitting around with people, and someone tells an off color joke, you know, it’s not funny.”

WCCB Charlotte went to Love’s home on Forestway Dr. in Mount Holly.

He took the flag down by Monday afternoon.

In the neighborhood, there are a lot of American flags, a Confederate flag most neighbors say they roll their eyes at, but the Nazi flag was new.

“I wasn’t expecting something like that,” said Jerry Watts. “Yeah.I don’t like to see it because I know it stirs up a lot of other problems.”
WCCB Charlotte spoke to Love at what neighbors say is his family auto shop.

He said no comment, only that he lost his job.

So, the only explanation comes from the video confrontation in which Love says, “I’m not a nazi either.”

No real answer to why Love flew the flag known for hate.
