After SC Shooting, There Were Flag Bans. Now an Awkward Question About VA is Burning Up the Internet
Independent Journal Review ^ | 8/29/15 | VICTORIA TAFT

Posted on 08/29/2015 11:08:26 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

After self-described “racist” killer Dylann Roof executed the black members of a church Bible study, people found photos of the killer holding the Confederate battle flag. There were also photos of him burning and stomping on the American flag — per the request of a social media activist.

Suddenly, the ‘Southern Cross‘ was removed from the public square all over — state houses, companies, flag poles and college campuses. The murders prompted the call for the digging up the body of Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Virginia murderer had in his possession the ‘gay pride’ rainbow flag, according to the Daily Telegraph:

In a raid on the apartment on Wednesday, police reportedly confiscated a gay pride flag. They also found “many” sex toys, which may have “human material” on them, the source told this newspaper. And that’s when one Twitter user decided to expose what he saw as irony: Bill Sanderson @BanCollectivism In light of the #VirginiaShooting, I hereby call for this flag to be banned. 8:00 AM - 27 Aug 2015 946 946 Retweets 991 991 favorites

His observation has been retweeted hundreds of times and has reached more than 1,000,000 people.

Here’s one of the threads about it. Not necessarily the best, or most detailed, but it’s what I found.

It should not take people being slaughtered to get rid of the hateful and sick homosexual flag... Common decency should have done that.....

Well, as I’ve mentioned on other related threads (and maybe I’m being silly about this), but if TV Land is going to mothball “The Dukes of Hazzard” in the wake of Dylann Roof’s bloody rampage, are they now thinking about doing the same to programs like “Good Times” or “227” or “Amen” or “The Jeffersons”? Would serve the same purpose (or be just as pointless, a more likely scenario).

And G.A. Hicks is the very type who would call for a Confederate flag or monument to be removed because of the Dylan Storm shooting yet she doesn’t say a thing about the gay pride flag needing to be removed when the perp was found with one in his possession. It occurred to me why. None of her fellow gay liberals have said a thing and are hoping no one will notice the parallel. She hasn’t said a thing because she’s a parrot just like the rest of ‘em and repeats only what they tell her to say in collective lockstep. No one has crowed yet and they won’t.

> So, Roof was a fag?

No. Not Dylan Roof. They’re talking about “Bryce Williams” who shot the two news reporters in Virginia.

I am a live and let live person, but that picture of the White House is ugly and sick.

I support people to live in a way they can be happy and be left alone, so long as they don't hurt other people. I cannot celebrate perversion and coercion for other people to affirm perversity is all ok.

ValJar has a daughter. Her wedding several years ago was quite the social event.

Obama made an emergency donation of $Millions to the SC Victims. Haven’t heard a word about money in VA. Maybe some journos will look into this but probably not.

I misread the article. Was half asleep.

But I did find that link about the supposed Black lover by googling Roof’s name with “gay”.

Some idiot probably just made it up but I wouldn’t have trouble believing Roof was a queer, they tend toward mental instability.

I couldn’t even imagine a goat humping Islamic Scrunt having sex with ValJar. How could she possibly have kids unless she buys them on the open market.

Well if banning the flag doesn’t change actions, can we put the Confederate Flag back flying over the CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL???

Add “defied” to that list....

And unfortunately, some churches have flown that rainbow flag too.

One thing extremists of all stripes have in common is there's homosexual encounters within those groups to one extent or another. Nazis', klansmen, ISIS, I believe somewhere in Bill Ayers' memoirs he said he and Bernie Dhorn had some close encounters of the perverted kind. So it would be no surprise that Roof, like Fester Flannigan are "that way".

In the heart of each Progressive
Beats a fascist little song,
That says to them “I’m always right,
and you are always wrong.
“Our bullying is noble,
because our thoughts are pure.
“All problems are now global,
and we’re the only cure.
“It’s proper to be fettered,
by people such as we.
“Obey us. We’re your betters.
There’s no need to be free.”
