OP
I agree, this is a lot different. It is more of a historical display of different time periods

I'm not too bothered with this display. You have the flags that have flown over Marion County: French, Spanish, US, British, and CSA.

Having the confederate flag up all alone or with the US flag is a whole different story. That suggests it's still relevant today. I don't imagine 6 flags over Texas taking down their Confederate States of America flag. After all, there were 6 flags over Texas, not 5.

The reporter misstated that Roof killed nine black men. That would be a surprise to many of the families who's loved ones were assassinated. Many of which were women. Fucking reporters can't even get their facts straight.

the big red and white stripes and the blue field with 7 stars. It was the first, and longest used flag of the Criminalfederacy.
I, on the other hand, support the all white flag, the last true flag of the Crookfederacy.
