The Confederate flag is not a symbol of hate, it never caused any crime, and the State knows that. To punish peter for Paul’s crime is an injustice just as is to claim Peter spoke Paul’s words is dishonest.
Governor Haley and the so called ‘republicans’ that acted in ill-rational hast today to do just that have lost my respect and my vote. We do not need or want leaders who act so unjustly on the account of somebody’s unfounded and inacruate feelings.
Under such men there is not justice just tyranny of those who can play victim.
While we are at it Slavery is in the past and doesn’t Define South Carolina’s future should we not get rid of the universaly offensive and hateful Slavery monument as well?
Something well known by an SCV member named H. K. Edgerton, a black man and frequent reenactor who trooped that Confederate color all the way across the South, to make a point and, by the way, "integrate" the Confederate Battle Flag.

True facks, y'all.
