Quit watching msnbc stupid fuck and learn

Learn from where? What's your source for "learnin"

Not every gun owner is a racist white supremacist.

But every racist white supremacist is a gun owner!

Including the perpetrator of this latest atrocity committed in the name of racist white supremacy.

The SC legislature should have removed the confederate flag for at least 9 days while they pass legislation to get rid of it entirely IMO.

This is an abomination:

And it is still flying at full-mast at the capitol in South Carolina. Puke.



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.

I say: yes, they have.

your tampon leaking bitch? Its on private land, dumb fuck

The Statehouse in SC is NOT private land. It is public land. Hint: the word "State" in "Statehouse" should be a big clue for you, l'il slugger.

that land where those stars and bars sits is FUCKING PRIVATE LAND

I know the history of it...

"The elephant in the room is guns. South Carolina and the country have gone gun-crazy," said state Representative Wendell Gilliard, a Democrat who represents Charleston.

Take it down for a week for pity sake. The shooter openly displayed that very flag. Might as well hoist the apartheid flag right alongside.

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

Uhm, no.

Half-mast is definitely an option.

"The flag is part of a Confederate War Memorial, and is not on a pulley system, so it cannot be lowered, only removed,” Raycom Media reporter Will Wilson tweeted."

Why South Carolina s Confederate flag isn t at half-staff after church shooting - The Washington Post

Ahhh, so the method of flying that specific flag is just as antiquated and useless as the flag itself.

Well, in that case, they should just take it down. But of course, they won't.

Not til they vote on it again.

They voted to take off the statehouse, and moved it to a memorial.

"
The law that moved the flag was quite detailed: The flag could not fly from the capitol dome, but had to appear at a memorial near the dome and could appear in legislators’ offices. Legislators even specified the type of flag, its placement, and the dimensions of its display.

“This flag must be flown on a flagpole located at a point on the south side of the Confederate Soldier Monument, centered on the monument, ten feet from the base of the monument at a height of thirty feet,” it read. “The flagpole on which the flag is flown and the area adjacent to the monument and flagpole must be illuminated at night and an appropriate decorative iron fence must be erected around the flagpole.”

It's okay for a private citizen to do those things. This flies on taxpayer owned government land.

It is a problem for a lot of people because it's a symbol of racism. Someone should take that flag down and burn it.

and in my opinion, if assholes can get away with burning the US flag

other assholes can keep the stars and bars flying over a memorial.

After all, "It's just a piece of cloth".

Moral Monday movement spreads through the South

I predict there will be a lot of non violent acts of civil disobedience in SC as was in NC . I was in the first group arrested in 2013 over a thousand were arrested that summer and then all charges dropped

I think the reaction by the neo confederates in South Carolina will be much more violent .
