1. Excellent imagery, if you support the flag, you ABSOLUTELY and UNDENIABLY support

her murder.

6. Called the Conscience of the Legislature, he began preaching at 13 and was 41 years old.

7. Thank you, I spent several hours Sat night with my AFAm friend who's parents were part of the

AME church in a big way.

I am getting a great education

4. Five minutes.

That's how long it would have taken to temporarily remove the flag "for maintenance".

No way in hell is this anything but a very deliberate insult.

Fucking racist bastards.

[Avalux]

5. Yeah Haley could have taken it down for a few minutes.

She didn't. And I don't believe for a minute that she really wants it to be removed permanently; she make that move not because it's the right thing to do, but because she doesn't want riots and has re-election to consider.

She's still the same idiotic tea partier, just hedging her bets is all.

9. A burning arrow might have addressed it.

Or a toy drone armed with some black spray paint.

[nc4bo]

10. Just sayin.

The flaming arrow seems the best way. Drones make noise.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. Or put a trash bag over the fucking thing.

I understand there is some law that says it has to remain. Cover that piece shit flag.

[Jamastiene]

12. Good point.

If they really wanted to show some respect for the dead, they could have covered it without violating their permanent law. That law does seem to make that flag permanent there. They wrote it just to make it that hard to get taken down. What assholes. They could have bothered to cover it or something.

8. No Turn on Red.
