ROCHESTER, Minn. -— Three men face charges after being accused of damaging a car that displayed the Confederate flag in Rochester.

Police said a woman approached two people in a parked car, upset over the flag. The people sitting in the car told police the woman threatened to "get her boys to take care of it.''

"Well I take these boys won't be going to see the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie."

I'm astounded that movie was even made. Even more shocking is that the movie was made and they didn't change or remove the flag from the car.

Car with Confederate flag kicked, stoned in Rochester

A SUV wouldn't have let that happen

A SUV would have defended itself!

[billnaz]

I'm shocked! All this time I had been led to believe that everybody north of the Mason-Dixon line was soooo tolerant!

[robowombat]

Same if it had been the First National CSA colors.

Women stampeded and cattle raped???? I'm leaving! Every news story has a hint of Blazing Saddles.

[dfwgator]

Heck an SUV would've taken the offensive and run them down beforehand.

Scratch a Liberal...

[billbears]

Yet another? Except for intolerance by the ignorant I'm not sure I see any good reason not to have a flag of the Confederacy on your vehicle

[injin]

my car sports the Bonnie Blue and it's true , nobody has a clue...

[Brilliant]

I'll give you a good reason. I'm not Confederate. I'm a citizen of the United States of America.

Getting your car vandalized, seems to me, merely makes it a no-brainer.

Another good reason to have a Confederate flag on your car. "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God".

Why weren't they charged with a hate crime? Had it been a rainbow flag, it would have been.

[river rat]

The "open minded", "Progressive" "Tolerance" preached and worshipped by the walking undead of the left ---- is directed ONLY at those ideas that comply with their brain dead concept of the world....

The left will have to be destroyed, before it will cease being a threat to life and health....

Semper Fi

Well as a North Carolinian, I choose to celebrate my heritage. If someone that is ignorant of the history of any of the flags , or the defense by my ancestors, that's their problem. If they damage my property, I will make sure they are punished to the fullest extent of the law available

[dmz]

I like to keep flags on my car of all the nations that United States of America has opened a can of whoopass on. Viet Nam, North Korea, the CSA.

/tongue in cheek

Yepper. There's an enormous amount of ignorance in the population about..and this is going to really tick some folks off...the War of Northern Aggression and the symbols of the CSA.

This woman and her "boys" are a perfect example of that ignorance.

Recast the story, three white kids attack an NAACP vehicle.

We all know the rest.

I like to demolition derbies and I always give my cars wild paint jobs and drive around town like that for a month or two before wrecking it. One time I painted my car up like an AMERICAN flag, stars and stripes, and I was giving some friends a ride in it in downtown Minneapolis. While we were stopped at a red light there was a guy sitting on a bench waiting for a bus, and he says to us "KKK Muthuh______s".
Idiots are everywhere.
