I’m sure that it was considered.

[Vince Ferrer]

Please please don’t pile up useless flowers, candles, and teddy bears up at this bar as a memorial. Hold any memorial not from the victim’s families at a gun range or martial arts locations. Those of us not directly affected need to spend our time getting angry and prepared, not being emotional crybabies.

[WENDLE]

Extreme agreement.

[Eagles6]

Did he order flags at half staff for Ft Hood or any of the other mohammaden koranic attacks on US military here in the states?

[madison10]

Which flag?

[TADSLOS]

This is a damned outrage, diminishing the memory of Whitney Houston like that. /s

[irish guard]

Half staff sounds demeaning? How so?

[Secret Agent Man]

Plenty of more drastic reasons here to leave the flag down and upside down.

[WENDLE]

What a crock.He allows these killers to walk the streets? And he wants the flags at half staff. He needs to resign like Donald Trump suggested at 4 pm!!

I wonder if Joan Rivers was right about Michelle?

[bigdaddy45]

Try to show just a little bit of class.

[technically right]

Well, if it had been a VFW or American Legion or NRA affair Obama’s buddy would have been greased before he got another round off because I would bet that at least half of those dudes would have been packing unlike the Pooftes in the LGBT bar in Orlando.

I would hope the answer would be that it wouldn't happened there, because one of the many armed patriots would've shot the POS DRT, like what happened in Garland, TX. Notice the Muzzie didn't shoot up a honky tonk, or a hip-hop club. Not saying hip-hop apes are patriots, but chances are they're armed.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Taxman]

Actually, we need to fly it upside down!

I flew mine upside down for the first few weeks Ophonybama was POTUS, but eventually took it down because I was embarrassed to be an American.

I’ll erect my new tall flagpole and start flying my American flag the day that Donald Trump becomes POTUS!

"Those of us not directly affected need to spend our time getting angry and prepared, not being emotional crybabies."

I'm with ya Vince, but don't hold your breath. So-called conservatives don't believe in getting angry, even though that's exactly what's needed. Sorry, but even the Golden Rule has its limits.

[Taxman]

Well, there you are!

[Scrambler Bob]

class

I was referring to bo.

Yes that was classless, like bo.

[castlegreyskull]

The flag needs to be turned upside down to signal that we are in distress.
