South Carolina s Confederate Flag Not Lowered to Half-Staff After Massacre - NBC News

In solemn tribute to the nine people gunned down at a Charleston church, two flags atop the statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina, were lowered to half-staff on Thursday. They will stay there for nine days in honor of each victim.

But in a bewildering display, a Confederate flag on statehouse grounds is still flying high. It wasn't an oversight. It's because of state law.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has jurisdiction over how and when state flags fly — but the Confederate flag is under the authority of the state's General Assembly, lawmakers told NBC News. It can't be changed in any way without a sign-off from the General Assembly.

The flag — as well as other historically named icons and places — is legally protected under the 2000 South Carolina Heritage Act. The rebel banner continues to draw criticism from South Carolinians who say it keeps the symbol of slavery and the Civil War alive.

Somewhere on the planet, somebody did something that will upset me enough to come post about it

I'm sure of it

 

[Maryland Patriot]

Doesn't really matter, if it was flown at half mast the libs would have cried because it was racist to honor the dead with the flag of the south. Considering everything is offensive the the thin skinned socialists, is there any reason to even try to appease them? I think not.
Besides, that was earlier, what does it matter now?

You will be upset about it in all 57 states, too!

I get such a kick out of people whining that it's not at half mast, when there are only two choices.

Up, or down.

No in between

It's the most vocal way that conservatives and rw bigots can display their racism without actually having to admit it. Anyone who roots for a loser (and the rebs lost) is a traitor to the United States (who won).
