Used condoms and Hammer and Sickle Flags would be more appropriate for MLK’s place.

“police and Homeland Security “
I looked for the words “police are investigating a possible hate crime.”
Meanwhile, all black on white crime is ignored.

Whoever did this could accomplish a more constructive end — by decorating the nearest mosque with rashers of bacon.

Sticks and stones and paper flags can break my bones and names can harm me too? Have we all gotten to be so soft and sensitive? The once hardness or thick skin of our nation has turned to mush.

Are they looking for fingerprints?

Are they that heavy?

What “work” involves picking up a small paper “flag”?

I was at a cemetery committee meeting, typically a very boring affair. Maintenance, upkeep, notice of anyone who died, planning for upcoming wreaths for veterans graves.
One man rose up and said that this was controversial, but *?&!, when they put wreaths on the graves of all the veterans for veteran’s day, it will include the confederate veterans along with everyone else who fought for their country.
The most controversial thing I can think of before was fights over how to spend the money.

The political poison has now literally seeped into EVERYTHING.

A vile act no matter which way you look at it, but DHS?

Vile? Get a life.

“Four small flags, and Homeland Security is involved?”

Don’t underestimate the need of the Totalitarian Left to identify & declare an enemy, demonize them, and literally destroy them - as a means to persuade the sheep to get & stay submissive. They’ve discovered the power of the word “racist” and are using it to portray uncooperative subcultures as vile & immediate existential threats which must be destroyed “but we don’t have the absolute sovereign authority to protect the public from that threat.” Yeah, what the CBF-flag-throwing twerps did was mean & malicious, but the powers that be will use DHS to crack down on them with 1000x cruelty & malice - just to make an example of them.

“Four small flags, and Homeland Security is involved?”

Let me restate my point:
This is fast moving toward the stage of executing members of the opposition for trivial transgressions; any hint of deliberate subversive activity will be met with severe consequences to discourage ANY dissent.

Some may recognize this picture and its meaning:

My family is from Hanover County near Grapevine Bridge. They have been there since the mid 1600’s. I grew up on the Henrico County side of the bridge.

One of my direct ancestors was a Union man who did everything in his power to help the Union. Another direct ancestor (26th Va Infantry) lost his life at Petersburg, June 15, 1864. I do not consider the Confederate Flag vile or repulsive anymore than I consider my Unionist ancestor a traitor (although most of lower Hanover did).

However the ACT of placing Confederate Flags near Ebenezer Baptist and King Center is a vile act(highly offensive, unpleasant, or objectionable). I find it laughable DHS in involved. Vile DOES NOT equal terror. I would consider it a vile act if someone spread out Confederate Flags at Rock Hill Baptist Church.

I am not sure of the intended message was, but damn, it reinforces the moronic notion the flag is a racist symbol.

I have a life thank you very much. And I try not to jump the gun. :)

The pastor of the church says this is terrorism. I wish I was joking.

Let's see, on the one hand, a terrorist could cut off your head, drown you in a cage in a river or burn you alive.

On the other hand a terrorist could leave a Confederate flag on the sidewalk. It's boosh league psyche out stuff... Laughable man!
