Police Respond to Concerns About ISIS Flag That Turns Out to Be, Um… Something Else

Police in Italy were called by concerned citizens who swore they saw an ISIS flag outside an apartment building. This is a picture of what they witnessed:

The police arrived on the scene to inspect, and it turns out it was not an ISIS flag at all, but a black jacket with some white stripes on it that a resident hung out to dry on the tree.

There was another incident last month in Sweden where concerned citizens worried about “IS” being shown out of someone’s window but it turned out they were just balloons for someone’s 21st birthday.
