The state Department of Transportation responded this week after a Confederate flag was seen flying over a paving project on Route 2 in Fitchburg.
The flag was captured on camera in a video shared with 7NEWS. In addition to the flag, the video showed crews working in the area.
In a statement, MassDOT said a subcontractor from Bloomfield, Conn. displayed the flag while doing work.
“MassDOT prohibits the display of the confederate flag and similar paraphernalia and has informed the contractor that they will not be allowed to perform further work until steps are taken to remove the flag,” MassDOT said.
If it was Boston, we’d know it was real.
Is this written in the law somewhere? Did they really have time to come up with crap like that in the Massachusetts general assembly, legislature or whatever the heck they call it up there ? Or is this something that MassDOT has just created for this particular incident ? Kinda like what the Bad Attitude Towards Freedom and Equality group does with Firearms.
and similar paraphernalia
So does this mean that one cannot have/display a crack pipe with the Below the Masey-Dixie Line Flag/Logo on it ?
So glad that I'm a DAMNED YANKEE !!! (for those that don't know what this means. I was born in Yankee Land and moved to the South and never went back up North.)
Was it an actual, genuine Confederate flag?
Or was it cloth material made to imitate a real Confederate flag? In other words, a false Confederate flag?
Or was it something just flying in the wind that somebody said they thought, because of the way the light reflected, it reminded them of a Confederate flag?
Are there actually rules in that state that prohibit displaying items that are not real items but that nonetheless trigger sensitive people?
“Confederate Flag Seen Flying Over Paving Project on Route 2”
Oh the humanity.
Oh, my goodness... I certainly hope no one’s little feelings were hurt...
That’s cool..as long as you aren’t a carpet bagger.
And the screen capture is on channel 5 of the all bill clinton network aka locally known as #WCVB. 🎶...m-o-u-s-e...🎵
So?
I bet these CT contractors don’t fly that flag in Bridgeport or East Hartford. What a dumb thing to do.
Well I did work in the Floor Covering Business for a while doing carpet/vinyl and tile removal, repair and installation.
Does that make any difference ?
WHAT!?
What planet are you living on?😀
Maybe JFK is just listening attentively while the other guy explains to him what the flag is.
Deep in Yankee territory no less. Effing priceless!
“Rt 2” is a beautiful road out west. Used to take it to Greenfield
The Confederate flag is NOT a symbol of slavery but the left assumeS it is with absolutely no proof... just like a man can be a woman. Totally FAKE.
Massholes gonna be Masshles.
😀
Southern Pride, instead of Groomer Pride.
Southern pride, NOT “gay” pride!!!!
