Flags at half masg.
6/27/2031 | Me

Today I was walking into the public high school in my town and noticed that that Flag was at full mast. It seems these days that it is at half mast so much that I only notice when it is up high.

Then it occurred to me that we had a major catastrophe happen a few days ago that killed about 100 people in Miami? Seems like a tragedy worth honoring, if there ever was one.

a building with known, unfixed structural problems collapsing is not a national tragedy

FWIW, half-staff. It’s ‘half-mast’ when the flag (ensign) is on a ship.

Biden ordered them down for that shooting in Indiana a couple of months ago.

Likely specific rules about when it’s lowered to 1/2 staff, has to fit certain specifics, can’t just do it by emotion of situations.

Sure they can. They do it all the time.

Rainbow flags too.

Seems like it is down more than half of the time. I was just surprised to not see it today.

They went half mast in NJ for a drug overdosed singer who died in the tub, so why not?

What if George Floyd were alive and in the building when it collapsed?

Every day over 7000 Americans die of something. You could put the flag at half mast permanently if you wanted to be morbid about it.
