I wonder if they will put the flags at half mast in Michigan and Pennsylvania as we have done in South Carolina when 9 people died? Illinois doesn’t seem to follow the tradition either...of course, they would be at half mast all the time...wasting the top part of the flagpoles.
The flag should never be flown at half staff for the death of a civilian. Just another thing to piss off more white people.
And people are getting fed up. Five years ago lots of posters on here would have been banned. Not anymore, thank God.
(Soapbox alert)
Flags are NOT supposed to be half-mast for every regular citizen or even evry damn LEO that dies. It is supposed to be for heads of state.
I am so sick of the US and also our state flag being lowered for every damn tragedy, including the natural death of some LEO retired 20 years ago, etc.
I swear if not the US flag, I’m seeing the MD flag lowered every month, and ask my husband if he knows why. We find out some pathetic thing via the Internet.
We might as well hang it up now if we are so stricken by every single death. What a sign of weakness.
This has ONLY become prevalent since 9-11. Never before that did I see flags go up and down so much I start getting seasick.
