Rainbow Flags With #ShootBack Written on Them Found in West Hollywood
NBC Los Angeles ^ | 06/16/2016 | Ted Chen

Rainbow flag signs with "#ShootBack" written on them were found plastered across West Hollywood on Thursday morning, causing a stir among residents and condemnation from city leaders, less than a week after the shooting rampage at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

The flags, blending a snake symbol used by the Tea Party with the symbol for gay pride, were found all over the Southern California city Thursday morning, including in front of City Hall and one of the city's most popular gay bars, the Abbey.

Crews worked all afternoon to remove the signs. City leaders say even though they're still angry about the Orlando massacre, they are against the message on the signs.

"As we see them our Public Works Department is taking them down because we don't allow the posting of any sign on our trees or poles," City Councilman John Duran said.

Citizen Action is what is called for.

Imagine the city taking down rainbow flags at any other time.

God forbid they should rub the dirt out of their eyes and see what is really going on.

....causing a stir among residents and condemnation from city leaders...

God forbid that intendef victims have guns to shoot back. Someone could get seriously injured. The city leaders are inviting Muslim trouble.

I’m all for American citizens defending themselves. I’m just wondering how the murderer had time to post on FB & call 911. There were 300 people there, why couldn’t they mob and overpower him? Sure some would probably die in the attempt but the number would’ve been far lower than the 49 who died.

They were waiting for the police to act, apparently.

So, was the Gay pride flag combined with the snake symbol a “Gaysden” Flag?

As sick of the homo-isation of American culture, I admit getting a kick out of this. About time they woke up and realized the liberals do not have their security in mind.

At Milo’s news conference in Orlando there was a guy with a Gadsden flag standing next to him. Milo said “it should say shoot back”.

Exactly. So many promiscuous homos show suicidal tendencies, for example, many want AIDS. Throw in their much vaunted We Are Family, and you’d expect them all to go borg-like hive against the muzzie, no matter if any of them get hurt or killed in the operstion.

But no, they seem to have folded like homos in the presence of their gad homobama.

If one gay person in that bar had been armed the outcome would have been very different.
