People who want to keep it should force a vote on the ballot.

It’s a Democrat flag. Let them own it.

“...unnecessarily divisive and hurtful to too many of our people.”

I was unaware of the state’s mandate to prevent divisive and hurtful speech.

There’s a black guy in our town who likes to dress up in a confederate uniform and march back and fourth across the interstate crossing carrying a large confederate flag. I wonder how much harassment he gets.

Taking the Confederate flag off license plates is one thing and is within the purview of state authority... however here in Virginia we have a plethora of Civil War reenactments. If Clinton’s bagman Fast Terry tries to ban the Stars and Bars there, he’s going to have a problem on his hands.

The thing that still bothers me is why did they allow that symbol on state flags or even flying the flag over any public building even AFTER the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed. Especially that flag is so strongly associated with the Ku Klux Klan, a group formed by ex-Confederate Army officers.

I’m not suggesting anything, but the speed at which the left grabbed ahold of this tragedy and got their way with it without much meaningful resistance is why people think these things are planned.

White boy kills blacks in cold blood. White boy has a history of ‘racist’ remarks and desires revenge for so many blacks killing whites. Happens in a state that 0bama needs to take a hard turn left. A willing media and a compromising Governor.

How all convenient.

Or, all this was pure happenstance and the left was just quick on the draw.

No matter what they do, it won’t stop black rage. There is no appeasing them.

Gee, a Democrat following the lead of a Republican. Never thought I’d see the day. Maybe his next step will be to march on Hollywood.Cemetary and tear down the pyramid built as a memorial to Confederate soldiers. On a more serious note, Virginia was a battleground state and suffered greatly during and after the Civil War. Native Virginians have a vested history in this conflict and some wounds persist to this day. Facing invasion from the North after asking only to be left alone, Virginians stood against the Union. We are seeing a parallel now in that some states are trying to stand against the policies of immorality, fiscal irresponsibility, and negligence to perform duties being forced upon states or performed by the federal government. Perhaps the banning of these symbols of past resistance are an attempt to remove history of organized rebellion to unjust actions.

Republicans have been trying to get rid of it and now the Demorats get glorified for taking THEIR flag down.

Note that the Confederate Flag in VA is only available as a Sons of Confederate Veterans plate. What is the victory in taking the symbol from them?

Think I’ll just change my plain tags to the Gadsden flag, “Don’t Tread on Me” choice available to everyone in the commonwealth.

Byte me, Terry, you modern day carpetbagger.

SQUIRREL!

The church was a gun-free zone so let’s talk about a flag.

How is the Confederate flag have anything to do with the shooting? Will the tv show "Dukes of Hazard" be banned too? Will they change the car using special effects?

Virginia elected this governor. If any of those that believed in their heritage voted for him they are getting just desserts.

This whole flag issue - which popped up out of nowhere, is designed to split the Republican Party before the next elections.

The south is solidly Republican. Many in the south view the confederate flag as a part of their heritage. Many white people in the rest of the country (including Republicans) have been brainwashed over the past 30-40 years to believe that the confederate flag is a symbol of racism.

So, you have the whites in the south, who defend the flag as a symbols of regional pride vs. whites in the rest of the country who see it as a symbol of racism.

There are now in winners in this fight, only losers. The Democrats are enjoying this!

My disappointment is in the southern Republican politicians who are so scared to be called racists that they throw their fellow citizens under the bus.
