The man who put the Nazi flags in the window of his Edgewater apartment said he put them up to get attention for his missing fiancé, Ariana Daniels.
"To have that swastika flag there makes me sick to my stomach," said Patricia Guerrero, the owner of Edgewater Tacos."Everyone is welcome. Everyone is welcome and that is scaring people away," she said of the Nazi flags flying in multiple apartment windows directly behind her restaurant."I'm Latina. I don't want that. I don't want to live in fear because that's not what Edgewater's about," she said.
"I will say something when I see something that is not right. And that is not right. That is not OK. And that is not welcome here in our community," she said."It's a lost cause what they're fighting for. We're all Americans and we need to come together in unity," Rais said."I don't like Nazis. Nobody likes Nazis. Nobody likes what happened in World War II. But everybody in America deserves to have their home as their sanctuary," Craig said.
He said he put up the flags to get attention for his missing fiancé, Ariana Daniels. Craig said he was given an eviction notice specifically referencing the Nazi flags and is currently in discussions with his landlord to take them down.But until he does take the flags down, neighbors said they're frustrated with such a divisive display."The only way to defeat hate is through love.
As of Thursday afternoon, the flags had not been removed. ABC7 contacted property management Root Reality for comment, and they replied with the following statement: "Root Realty abhors the hate symbol that a tenant in a building we manage displayed in the tenant's window. We are doing everything possible to get this resolved within the bounds of what we are legally permitted to do.
