Regarding the nazi flag on Burnett overpass on Highway 101 in Morgan Hill: I’m writing to you because the group of people who have their rallies on Fridays on the Burnett Bridge overpass on 101 in Morgan Hill had a nazi flag hanging on the overpass yesterday, alongside their U.S. and Trump flags.
They always do this during heavy Friday rush hour traffic, and are a huge traffic hazard/distraction, but this is even more unacceptable. We have been having to endure near accidents for years now (I nearly rear-ended someone the first time I saw them and have almost been rear-ended twice because of their distraction). Sometimes they shout at the traffic and try to get people to honk.
This was an even bigger hazard because of how upsetting and shocking it is, and I know for a fact that people were video recording and taking photos from their vehicles. Not only are they a hazard to drivers (their sole intended audience since they’re doing it on a freeway overpass in both directions), but they are hanging their flags on public property. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t hang a large sign for my business on those overpasses.
Why can they hang their flags and signs on the overpass? Why aren’t they required to carry their flags or have them attached to their vehicles? If it’s public property or property of the City of Morgan Hill, why are they allowed to attach those flags and signs?
I called the local non-emergency California Highway Patrol to communicate how hazardous they are to traffic and even more so with their nazi flag. They of course were aware of it but stated that the bridge is the jurisdiction of the sheriff’s department, so connected me through.
I spoke with the person at the sheriff’s department who acknowledged they are aware of it and had several officers respond regarding the nazi flag, but that people are allowed to protest.
They are not protesting anything. They are having “rallies.” They even announce their gatherings (I saw at Free Republic) as “Trump Rally.”
It’s my understanding that Morgan Hill requires special permits for rallies where fees are involved. I know it’s not a large capacity event so maybe the permit wouldn’t be required, but their organizers call it a rally and it also doesn’t seem to be a protest. They aren’t protesting anything that I can tell.
They’re only promoting MAGA/Trump/naziism. I’m guessing I’m uninformed about what constitutes a protest, but if nothing else, when safety is an issue are there not restrictions about where one can or cannot protest? They can “protest” farther down the street, not on the overpass, or in town where they won’t be as much of a safety hazard because even if they cause accidents, they will be at lower speeds and not as many lanes of traffic.
I read that there are “reasonable time, place, and manner” restrictions where protests can be limited to the time of day. Even if they were limited to times of day that are not rush hour, they still pose a hazard as a distraction—but they would perhaps be less dangerous with fewer vehicles on the road. I read that one has “the right to assemble and express political views as long as traffic and safety issues do not arise.”
I don’t travel that section of highway every day like my husband does, but in the few by comparison times that I have on a Friday, the risk of accidents seems high.

This “journalist” conveniently left out the fact that the person placing the nazi flag & Russian was a registered democrat attempting to disparage a Patriotic rally, and guilty by association, even though it was a deranged leftist, proclaiming “Trump is a nazi and a Putin puppet”.
This is why The San Jose Mercury Newspaper is almost dead, opinions instead of facts. The “reporter” embarrassed themselves in a bias interpretation.
Hate for The President who wants to Make America Great Again
Hate for Elon exposing waste, fraud & corruption
Hate for the wrong electric car
Hate for Policing
Hate for secure borders
Hate for only 2 genders
Hate for opposing opinions
This is the hate that needs to be reported on,
not false flag propaganda.
100% agree with your reply 👍🏼
l Get paid over $110 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $22991 a m0nth doing this and she convinced me to try. The p0ssibility with this is endless….
This is what I do… HighProfit1.Com
You are spot on❣️🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷thank God for President Trump and his administration!
Gag
There is no place for a NAZI flag! Those are MAGA people waiving those flags, so stop trying to blame the left. You need to get your facts straight.
Yes “Mr Kennedy”, there is no place for a nazi flag, yet a local registered democrat had a nazi flag to place on the bridge during a patriotic rally to disparage the group, and for simple minds like yours, it worked. If you are naive enough to believe the false flag narrative perpetrated by this instigator, please refrain from verifying your bank information when you get an urgent text to do so, or resetting your Apple ID now by clicking “here”. Discernment is not your thing.
You bridge MAGAs have been far more concerned about who put up the Nazi flag than with taking it down or denouncing the Nazi flag.
You stood by until someone called the police and they came and took it down. What kind of a patriot stands around while a Nazi flag is flying a few feet away?
Roxana Bliss..you should be ashamed of yourself for writing this filth…clearly you are not in the know of who actually placed that hate crime flag on the overpass that We the People Patriots have been showing our love for this Country and our current President Trump..we have been out there for 5+ years as proud Americans..we have been verbally harassed constantly by passers by flipping us off and screaming expletives at us..I will admit I have given it back a time or two..we have also had many people come up and introduce themselves thank us for our commitment to Freedom as well as a couple of whom stated have changed their political
Party from democrat to Republican based on the horrendous last 4 years under the Biden Administration..I am demanding you retract your article as it is riddled with LIES
Signed,
A MAGA supporting Patriot
The “editor “ is either completely naive to the false flag attempt to disgrace Patriots, or knowingly leaving out information on the perpetrator to promote her belief that Trump supporters are ACTUAL nazis, by saying it’s “ their flag” in the article. Definitely a skewed viewpoint to paint an agenda.
It’s no wonder this country is in such disarray with these liberal lunatics
You are NOT a patriot! clearly brainwashed like most of the MAGA party
Anyone supporting this local paper should pull their ads. This is an obviously biased article.
What they are actually doing:
Drunk in public
Disturbing the peace
Avoiding going home to their wives
Reckless driving
The single most important fact is that someone felt that it was ok to prominently display that flag. It is not ok. Collectively, as a community, I thought that we would all agree that was unacceptable and certainly not representative of the beliefs held by people in this community. Instead of rallying around our shared disgust with the individual’s behavior and boldness in displaying the flag, this has morphed into a discussion around the “right vs left” politics or what is a “protest vs a rally”. All of which feels like nonsense & detracts from issue. Hate is hate. If we can’t find a way to align around something so fundamentally wrong and hateful then where does that leave us as a community?
Scolding us for something that is common sense for 95% of Americans is ridiculous. You do not need to get on your soap box and gift us with righteous words about what is right and what is wrong. We fought a war to stop naziism. Some outsider purchased that flag to hang during a Patriotic rally to disparage the group. Unfortunately, the hate you speak of is perpetuated continuously by our media, and in this case, completely fake. The person who placed that flag doesn’t support nazis. The Patriots at the rally don’t support nazis. Our community doesn’t condone hate, but every day we are bombarded by media of man vs woman, black vs white, straight vs gay, democrat vs republican, Israel vs Palestine, ect. Realize you are being manipulated by this hate and division tactic. 95% of our community understands what is fundamentally wrong, the other 5% will always be there to stoke the division.
It is typical reporting or lack there of. More like the writers own personal opinion then actual fact of what the Patriots have been doing on that bridge for the 5 + years. They have been supporting this country and flying the American Flags proudly for all these years, to which people have hated on the American Flag during the 2020 years. But the actual GREAT responses from so many who drive by and proudly honk their horn in total support and several folks that have driven under that overpass find their way to the Bridge to thank everyone for being there.
The ones that get into accidents are ones not paying attention or filled with so much hatred for this great country and the American Flag that they don’t pay attention to the traffic around them and cause an accident.
There should be better reporting of the truth about the incident regarding the hate flag. The group/Patriots that have been there fly the American Flags, the California Flag and yes they flew the Trump flag during election times and hung names of folks to vote for, pray, etc.
Check out the KTVU segment that aired on Friday March 28, 2025 which clearly exonerates the Patriots that gather at the Burnett bridge overpass each week. Roxana, you should be ashamed of yourselves for spreading lies. The defamation and false accusations toward Trump supporters are not acceptable. Be the unity that you claim to want in our community.
