A St. Louis antique shop is being threatened and harassed after hanging a flag in support of the police in the shop window.
“It’s a threat.” #STL store owner at Elder’s Antiques received this message on her storefront window after placing a thin blue line flag at her store offering support to police. The symbol on corner & MLM appear to be references to communist beliefs. Full story @10 on @Kmov. pic.twitter.com/QgRLlfiz0O

Leftists have been harassing her customers and left a threatening note on the store window this weekend.
Black youths broke the window of a neighboring store on antique row earlier this month for hanging a similar flag.
KMOV reported:
A Cherokee Antique Row business owner says she and others in the area are being harassed for displaying flags supporting police on their storefronts.
Cherri Elder owns Elder’s Antiques, a family owned and operated business that has been open for 32 years.
“You just know everybody,” said Elder.
She’s formed relationships with the police that patrol the area and wanted to offer her support by displaying an American flag with a thin blue line in front of her store.
However, the flag wasn’t accepted by everyone in the area.
“People came by, they would cuss at you, harass you,” she said, “They would harass the customers.”
She eventually took the flag down to avoid any more confrontations.
“I thought things were getting better,” said Elder, “but apparently it’s not.”
A month later she found a handwritten letter posted on the front window of her shop that read:
“Pig supporters not welcome. Flag goes down or you go down.”
