The landlord/management company did go to court but
then dropped the suit against the tenant.  For some updated
info and background about the tenant, here's an article from
the local TV station WPIX's website: see:

So, why did he hang the confederate flag?  Here's a quite
from the PIX article:

|The battle flag represents Confederate fathers who “loved
|their country the way their God loved the world,”

I think that Green (the tenant who hung the flag) really meant
to say "God loved White people" or maybe "God loved
White people who owned slaves and not White trash" or
something lie that.  The quote continues.

|said Green, who grew up in New Jersey

Insert your own joke here about a guy from Jersey who is
into the confederacy.

Yeah, just like the Nazi swastika stand for heritage, not hate
for Nazis/Aryans;  see the this article on the history of the swastika
from the Holocaust Museum:
https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007453

With respect to the confederate flag, one really has to ask what
other symbol represents a society that asserts White superiority
and the owner of "lesser" people, specifically African-Americans.
At least in the U.S.

Interesting that a guy from Omaha is the one who get upset by
the confederate flag.
