Thanks for covering this Story. I remember when this Happened, How Come He Wasn't Held Liable, this Is against The Law?

Please refer to what has happened at The Georgia Power Plant site, in Georgia., where they took off Confederate Flags from a Cemetery, inside their Gates, but it was owned by the Confederate Descendants. They had to make a Public Appology, and The Flags were put back. Many Thanks to Billy Bearden (Georgia Flagger), and ALL.

I just hate it, that he got away with this. (The Councilman). So many Ignorant People.

Also, if you haven't read, The City of Lexington has Banned Confederate Flags in The City Limits. The Mayor is from Russia, and got abt. 300 of her Students to sign a petition against it, while Many Folks worked together and Had a petition presented to The Mayor of over 1600 People FOR Keeping The Confederate Flags Flying in Lexington. saveourflags.com Deo Vindice.

Over 10 years ago I was vending flags on Auburn's campus and was ordered by an administrator to remove the Confederate flag I had on display.

On the contrary, guys like this creep do alot more to perpetuate division than any flag ever could.

The guy looks like a pimp from some bad 70s TV show. He looks about as ignorant as he probably is. I'd like to see him try to take a flag off of my ancestor's grave. He should have been arrested for desecrating graves, but the "PC" twitts who run most cities these days are to afraid of greeseballs like this guy to stand up to them.

Oppressed I think is what they call themselves, Black folk are so wrapped up in not remembering the days of slavery that when one symbol of the Civil War arises they go crazy. Like many people who understand that the war was about country and our rights to own property and sell property without the northern states oppressing us was what they were fighting for. The north owned slaves first then sold them down south as we were perfecting the cotton and sugar plantation way of life. They north had a problem with the south because we were very self sustaining and not needing the northern products because of free trade with England. The north wanted to do away with free labor and the south used it to become very wealthy as the southern plantations will prove to be. The war became the instrument to free the slaves so black folk need to realize that what was gained was freedom and the confederate flag is a symbol of that freedom. Anything after freedom has nothing to do with the confederate flag. That confederate flag that waved on the field of battle was just a way for the southern troops to mark the locations of their troops on the field. People need to read and study history. They need to just let the hatred go.

Like Gerald above, My Grandfather also served in the Air Force, and my sister and I in the Marine Corps. My family has a long history of military service all the way back to the Revolutionary War. I have ancestors that served on both sides in the Civil War, one being my great-great-grandfather as a Lt. in the Confederacy. I’ll tell you straight up, that flag no more represents slavery or the Ku Klux Klan than Mickey Mouse does. What it does represent is a period in history that is real and needs remembering, on both sides. Slavery was but a side affect of the war in actuallity, the war was originally fought because we wanted to become our own country and good old Uncle Sam couldn’t have that. The Confederate battle Flag represents the men who lived and died fighting for thier personal freedoms and beliefs. The fact that people of today want to use that flag as a symbol of other things simply shows thier own ignorance.

I appreciate your uncle’s service to the United States. It is because of my desire to honor those who had the courage to defend their home that I hold the Confederate Flag in high esteem. The men who fought under that flag were doing no less than their full measure of duty to defend their homes and like your uncle, deserve recognition and respect. I choose to respect them by honoring the banner under which they bravely served.
