FLINT, MI — An artist/protester has been arrested after taking down the Confederate flag in South Carolina, and Flint-area filmmaker Michael Moore has offered to pay for her bail and legal fees.

According to NBC News, two activists were arrested Saturday morning after one removed the Confederate flag from a pole outside South Carolina's Statehouse in Columbia.

Reports say Brittany Ann Byuarium Newsome, of Raleigh, N.C., climbed the pole around 6:15 a.m. and unhooked the flag, according to a statement by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety Bureau of Protective Services.

Famous fat Michael Moore... A miser except for the cause of his own personal luxury,

With all his hundreds of millions, his enormous houses, cars, and armed guards wrought from disarming us, increasing our energy bills, and encouraging terrorists,

Finally gives a few shekels away... Maybe a few hundred bucks,

And has his high-dollar Public Relations team tell us all about it.

Because obviously it got beached, and is suffering mental breakdown.
