Here's a person berating a black woman for carrying the Confederate Flag:

Bread and circuses, smoke and mirrors.

Personal conspiracy theory, or are there facts and evidence?

I do think it is strange that out of nowhere this crazed kid does this draped in the CSA flag while there have been hundreds of thousands of flag supporters there who not only would never dream of doing something like that, but who supported Afro American candidates. Now the flag is front and center overnight?

This is the final nail in the coffin of the States possibly rising up to save the nation, and that was the real plan.

I believe it's a conspiracy and stretch to claim this was a hit on a liberal state senator who no one outside of North Carolina heard about.

The flag is a distraction from the real story, which is the drugs this kid was taking being the same kind of drugs other mass shooters were taking.

This issue reminds me of a couple of verses.
One is that we should not offend our brother.
The other is the horse leach has two daughters crying give, give.
We should not do anything that offend our brothers.
However, many of those who are offended by this or that will latch on to a new offense as soon as the existing offense is removed.

Funny thing....

Hi!

Let me introduce myself. My name is Jermyn Davidson. I am upset over what you call the battle flag. The flag was divisive and hateful from its inception. It has been a symbol of racism, hatred and violence since its inception.

Nice to meet you!

IMO. I think that if they voted and the majority voted in favor of taking the flag down then so be it. I do see where the flag has mixed reasons for being flown. To some it is ancestry, but to others it is about hate. I believe as christians we should abstain from anything that could portray an image of racism and hate. I do think it would impede on people's personal rights to forbid it altogether. Walmart and Amazon needs to probably bann a whole lot more than a rebel flag. This country seems to be getting closer and closer to the judgement of God. The only standard I am worried about lifting up is the one from God almighty.

This I know. This Union was CREATED by 13 former colonies of Britain that had EACH had become an independent State. In other words, each one was a republic. Those States formed a union for specific purposes. They never surrendered their sovereignty upon entering this compact. They retained the right to go it alone if they felt that was in their best interests in the future. These feelings were just as strong in the north as they were in the south...until...1861. The States now are viewed as mere provinces of the central power that will be drug over the cliff into global domination unless they wake up and realize who and what they are. We are NOT "one NATION". We are a compact of free republics. The south did not invent that idea and the civil war did not change it. It's just a matter of waking up. But will we? Probably not. I plan on leaving America. The advantages of being an American are slipping away.
