He used the flag as a symbol to express his hatred. He got his crazy mixed up info, that black people are ruining this country, from a right wing extremist site. It was an eye opening experience for him.
Looks like from your avatar, you got a little hatred going on yourself. Should white Southern churches be warned? By your logic, you can't control what you do or how many people you kill because symbols have the power to divest you of all higher reasoning skills.
Seems you are the one lacking reasoning skills. Nowhere did he say that the flag caused anyone to do anything. And Southern White Churches do not generally fly the KKK flag. Those that do, are clearly not Christian.
But what if a parishioner has a battle flag sticker on a vehicle in the parking lot? If Leftist logic follows, a flag hating Leftist would be besotted by uncontrollably urges to go into the church and start gunning down bigots. Don't blame me. I'm just following your rationale that symbols need to be eradicated because they compel bigots to homicidal rampages. Destroy the flag and these things won't occur anymore, right?
Are you stupid or just pretending to be so? No one said that the flag caused anyone to do harm. And no one want to eradicate the favorite flag of inbred racists. It is a free country and you can your buddies can fly it from your car, your pickup, your trailer park and even have it tattooed on your forehead. No one cares. The flag was removed from the State Capitol because it is wrong for the state government to display a symbol of racism. Many South Carolinians are African American. They have the right to not have their government implicitly enforce the racism that flag symbolizes by flying in on public property. That is all that the flag controversy was about. You can keep lying and claiming that liberals argue that the flag causes bigots to act, but everyone know that you are lying.
I beg to differ
Confederate Flag Kills 7 At Alabama Shopping Mall - The Daily Currant - The Daily Currant
Seven people were killed this morning when a Confederate flag walked into an Alabama shopping mall and started shooting.
According to local reports, the flag entered Cherrywood Mall outside Huntsville armed with two AK-47 assault rifles, a P 228 handgun and several grenades. It immediately proceeded to unload its ordinance on unsuspecting shoppers.
In addition to those killed, 23 people were injured and are currently being treated in area emergency rooms. Several are in critical condition and not expected to survive.
The flag’s motivations are uncertain at the moment. However, according to witnesses the flag did specifically target White people with Northern accents.
“The flag chased us down the hallway screaming ‘Die, Yankees Die!’, says Justin Anderson, an aeronautical engineer originally from New Hampshire. “Luckily flags don’t move very fast, so my girlfriend and I managed to outrun it.”
Lucy Patterson, a homemaker from New Jersey wasn’t so lucky. Both her legs were blown off when the flag lobbed a hand grenade at her feet.
“It looked straight into my eyes, pulled the pin, and threw a deathball my way,” she says. “It was so cold-blooded. Almost as if it weren't human.”
Shortly thereafter the flag turned the gun on itself, shooting itself in the pole several times. Rushed to Huntsville Beth-Israel Medical Center, it was pronounced dead on arrival.
Confederate flags have increasingly been committing mass shootings in the South. Although retailers like Wal-Mart and Amazon have belatedly banned their sale, the existing stockpile of flags should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.
“It’s a real tragedy,” says Bret Michaels, the CEO of retailer Wal-Mart, “We should have stopped selling Confederate flags sooner. Think of how many flag-on-human shootings we could have prevented.”
