Hyper-woke border town proudly flies the SOMALI flag for its Independence Day a day after canceling July 4 fireworks for America

A New York town proudly flew the Somali flag for the country's Independence Day after the liberal mayor canceled July 4 fireworks.

To celebrate Somali Independence Day, the city of Buffalo hoisted the white and blue flag high above city hall for the day, while its Somali residents rejoiced.

Photos posted by the Somali National News Agency showed a man, who appeared to be a city hall employee, raising the flag while residents dressed in blue watched on.

It does not appear that Mayor Sean Ryan was in attendance, despite the flag being raised feet from his office.

The Somali flag has since been taken down, locals said.

The event occurred a day after Ryan announced Buffalo would not be hosting a fireworks show for the celebration of America's 250th birthday.

He had originally promised a month earlier that the show would go on, but on Tuesday, he announced it wouldn't.

A day later, he offered clarification on the decision, saying his office could not find an 'appropriate site' to 'provide a safe and widely accessible viewing experience for residents.'

The liberal leader also reiterated to residents that Buffalo hasn't hosted July 4 fireworks in at least a 'generation.'

It does, however, host New Year's Eve fireworks, and other firework shows have taken place in Niagara Square, Delaware Park, Lasalle Park, and other places, according to WGRZ.

Local philanthropist Russ Salvatore had agreed to pay for the July 4 fireworks show, Ryan told WGRZ, but Salvatore had concerns about launching the pyrotechnics near city hall, where the show was supposed to be.

It’s not just about Trump.
The Democrats really really hate the American people.

I hope it breaks snowfall records for the next 4 or 5 years with the Buffalo.

If they’re trying to make the somalis out to be victims, this certainly is not the way to do it. I for one, am glad that they are outing themselves in such glorious fashion.

1) Lack of July 4th fireworks
2) raising and cheering of Somali flag on US soil in the State of New York
3) children and women become victims due to strong feelings of entitlement and enabling by Somalis after #1 and #2.

That’s no different than declaring it has been conquered. They should be arrested, put a quick stop to this nonsense - it’s going to start happening in every leftist stronghold.

Unbelievable.

I can respect if they want to do something for the Somalia community on a day that matters to them. But canceling 4 July and then hoisting the Somalia flag... That’s a big fat no-go.

The justification given that they don’t have an adequate area and haven’t done this in a long time are garbage arguments. Of course they can find an area. Of course times change and what was done or not done in the past is seldom a reason for why we do it that way this year.

That mayor is a turd.

Once he had someone offering to pay for that fireworks, his margin for excuses narrowed to near zilch.

Was it Soros that brought these people to our country? I’m sure they didn’t swim to get here... and they sure as hell didn’t wait in line like true immigrants.

The country is conquered. Unless we violently take it back it will remain conquered. And that won’t happen. Somali, Mexican, Honduran, Palestinian, African, flags wave all over. And the democrats burn our flag. I am glad all my ancestors who fought for this country are gone so they don’t have to witness this. They didn’t fight so muzzie invaders and suicidal America hating democrats can destroy the country by letting in turd world invaders take it over without a fight.

Prepare accordingly.

It does not appear that Mayor Sean Ryan was in attendance. The event came after he canceled the Fourth of July fireworks due to not having a suitable spot for them

What happened to the suitable spot that has previously been used.

Buffalo happens to be on Lake Erie. Cleveland Ohio is also on Lake Erie and always has there fire works display on the lake front so that any stray fire work lands in the lake safely. So, I know it has been hot, did the lake dry up.
