First it was the ice bucket challenge. Now, a new social media campaign encourages people to film themselves tearing down Confederate flags from peoples property or vehicles.
In what appears to be the original video, posted to Facebook on July 11 by Jamari Williams, a young black man runs up to a house and jumps to tear down a Confederate flag from the flag pole. Another male, in the drivers seat of the car, filmed the ordeal while laughing and saying no flagging repeatedly.

The challenge has two hashtags: #noFlagginchallenge and #DestroyConfederateFlag.
There is even an Instagram account apparently dedicated to showing videos of the challenge, including some violent footage.

If social media had been around in 1995, the youths who gunned down Michael Westerman for having a Confederate flag on his truck would have filmed his execution and posted it.
I’m quite sure the law in Texas will allow me to shoot to kill anyone attempting to take my flag, and I will be more than happy to oblige.
“The Lib/Democrat Media will go absolutely bonkers mourning the victim’s “Bravery” and make a Democrat martyr out of it.”
Spot on, tcrlaf.
Kill one, create a martyr. Kill a hundred, start a war.
Yeah,this will get somebody hurt.
Link to vid, and there’s another vid in the comments, this one has a latino looking guy pulling off flags from the back of a pickup truck while the truck is stopped at a traffic light.
