A prominent attorney admits to taking flags from the graves of soldiers, a move that's sparked both positive reaction and calls for him to be arrested and disbarred. He's also received death threats and hate mail.
The lawyer says his actions are meant to promote unity.
A bag of small Confederate flags sits at Union Springs City Hall. They were removed from graves at an old Confederate cemetery downtown, behind the Red Door Theater, near the intersection of Highway 82 and North Prairie Street.
Myron Penn pulled up the flags with his family on Mother's Day. Penn, a founding partner at Penn & Seaborn Attorneys at Law in Union Springs, who served as state senator for two terms and as chairman of the Bullock County Commission, says he did it for his 4-year-old son.
“The reason why we picked them up is because the image of the flags in our community, a lot of people feel that they're a symbol of divisiveness and oppression of many people in our community,” Penn said. “Especially with the history that that flag and the connotation and negativism that it brings. I would think that no one in our community would have a problem with this or with my actions at all.”

Obviously your ignorance of history extends to the first Klan, which Forrest ordered dissolved in 1869
“Hate? Hmmm. I would think that’s your department.”
No surprise that you think that, you used to think that you didn’t have a problem with alcohol either- you thought that the people who objected to your drunken behavior had the problem.
Now as you troll Southern threads spreading insults and generally acting ugly you think the problem lies with people who find you to be an obnoxious jerk. Because you really haven’t changed. You’ve just found another outlet for your old habits.
Drink up mac, there’s more threads for you to spew on.
I suspect if he tried that in the local Confederate section of the cemetery, he’d get ventilated.
The hillbillies believe that the fastest way to invite disaster is to remove *anything* from a graveyard.
The belief is *so* strong that I have dropped lens caps while photographing and left them there.
You know, jmacusa got a little out of hand on this thread. And he got jumped on pretty hard by a whole bunch of folks. Most took him to task for his statements, whether or not they understood his POV or not.
But no one was enough of a degenerate piece of shiite to attack him about something as personal as alcoholism. No one was a degenerate piece of shiite until you came along. What a complete and utterly despicable thing to do. If you had a gram of shame you would hang your disgusting head.
jmacusa may or may not have been strident in his defense of his point but I have never witnessed a lower bastard than what I’ve seen with you.
You are beneath contempt.
Actions have consequences.
Don’t start crap if you can’t take crap.
It’s a hard cyber-world.
Grow a thicker skin.
My skin is like rhino hide. Pelham’s brain is like a reptile. Stay out of it.
Make me.
Aw, did I hurt your feelings little boy? Seems like you and the drunk like to dish out garbage but don’t like getting a dose tossed back at you. Well too bad.
Is he still acting up?
Of course. Trolling dixie threads is his substitute vice. And he’s convinced that he hasn’t got a problem, just like he did with his old habit.

I would hazard to say that shooting such an offensive scoundrel would not typically be the remedy in southern etiquette. (Unless, of course, he was defiling the grave of kin, in which case it would be appropriate.)
But horsewhipping would be culturally recognized as the appropriate remedy for something as course as tampering with sacred ground. Sadly, horse whips and the mastery of their use are far less common these days. Acceptable alternatives to horse whips do need some consideration as to their utility.
Isn’t anything you can trow at me, except the ranting of a loser defending a lost cause. And for the last time Poindexter I haven’t had a drop of “Oh Be Joyful’’ in 25 years.
No, as I said, been off the booze for 25 years. Yeah, when I was in my cups, I thought I was the center of my own universe and everyone else be damned. But thanks to a wonderful fellowship of people I live life one day at a time. It’s great. And there isn’t you, you odious, hateful worm or anyone on this earth has the right to take my inventory, none but my Higher Power and one day I’l have to stand before HIM and answer from my sins, not you. I don’t have to troll Southern sites bub. If you could get this through your jaded and hateful brain, I don’t hate Southerners. Just Confederates. Don’t ever presume to take my inventory you little troglodyte. You’re way out of your league little Johnny Reb.
What do you do, make up history as you see fit?
I read history rather that submit to politically correct brainwashing.
