I’m for compromise, take the flag off the state house grounds and fly it over a new jail where all who walk around with their belts around their knees flying their underwear as a flag will serve thirty days for each offense. Three time offenders will be locked up there for life. The facility should include forty fenced acres where inmates will grow cotton, corn etc. with mules during growing seasons. At other times logs will be hauled in so they can cut firewood with handsaws and axes. There should be chickens for them to tend, pigs to feed and butcher when they are ready, cows to milk and vegetables to grow and freeze or can. Before someone screams about how awful that is let me add that it is no worse than the way I grew up aside from the fact that I was not fenced in, little did that matter of course, I had nowhere else to go. No one ever accused my parents of mistreating me and I have never been charged with a crime in my life other than a traffic ticket.
The current location of the flag is a compromise. I say put it back up on the dome.
My point about this confederate flag is that it is a feel good move but does nothing to address why the shooter did this. It is a red herring to get rid of the confederate flag. Mass shootings will continue not just here but all over the world.
They do not have the confederate flag outside the US and there are mass killings. It is therefore not about the confederate flag.
