You’re missing the point. It’s not about the flag...just like it’s not about the guns...The bigger issue is the rise of mob/poll rules. Just pick any significant event over the past several years...what’s the first thing that is said...”Polls show, blah, blah, blah”, or, “It’s time for healing and moving on”. The arguments ring hollow...a flag did not drive that young man to the evil he committed. It is just as evil when the real reasons are ignored and a “symbol” of something that has absolutely nothing to do with the root cause is targeted, because of their guilt, misunderstanding, or downright ignorance. How long until some deranged person takes a selfie with guns and a U.S. Flag in the background and goes out and does something just as heinous before the President, or other ignorant people bereft of the ability to argue on logic and reason, all in the name of healing and moving forward, call for the U.S. Flag to be lowered from the U.S. Capitol? Where does it stop? And as far as the comparison of the Confederate Flag to the Nazi Flag, really? You want to compare the atrocities of those that fought under the Nazi flag to those that fought under the Confederate flag?

Thank you, you said it so much better than me with a lot fewer words.
