It is now SOP to label those proud of their Southern heritage as terrorists, but not to use to word in regard to Muslims. Sickening.

What purpose did these rednecks have in confronting & harassing the peaceful Blacks in a public park, celebrating a child's birthday?

How is that supporting the Confederate Flag?

Yes, they had every right to the public roads and the public park, but that doesn't address the why?

Why not in front of the state capitol where the laws are written?

the right of all of the citizens to feel safe,

No such right exists.

Been noticing that lately...and fairly often.

The power of the Jury.

Even if it is some law was broken, then the Jury still can declare not guilty because they do not like the law.

Bullshit. These people have every right to defend that Confederate flag. You sound like a member of the Black Lives Matters idiots.

“Those images led to calls to remove the symbol from public and private sites across the country, which in turn inspired a backlash from those who felt the flag symbolized Southern culture and heritage.”

No one in the media ever gets this correct. The history of the Rebel battle flag belongs to the slave holding DemoRATS!

First, It was not so much a North verses South conflict, but a DemoRATs verses everyone else conflict. The “North” had DemoRATS (copperheads) that wanted to keep slaves as well, but just didn’t like the disunion of the nation.

Second: DemoRATS had almost total control of all three branches of the federal government from President Jackson onward, and then TOTALLY controlled them to 1860. Then they decided to take their marbles and have a hissy fit when Lincoln became President. They decided that they would secede if Lincoln became President after his “House Divided” speech, in which he stated, “I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.” The speech was seen by all DemoRATS as an abolitionist’s speech.

The point is, the Southern culture has changed from being the slave DemoRAT of old to its new culture of being one of a Christian conservative culture, one that believes in Biblical principles as most (if not all) of the Founding fathers had. IT HAS BEEN AND NOW IS THE DEMORATS AND THEIR PARTY THAT HAVE CARIED ON THE CULTURE OF SLAVERY EVEN TILL TODAY WITH THEIR IDEA OF HAVING EVERYONE UNDER SOCIALISM.

John C. Calhoun, leading DemoRAT slaver (who some think was THE one who instigated the Civil War) agreed with the leading DemoRAT activist of the time, George Fitzhugh, when he stated, “slavery is a form, and the very best form, of socialism.” At least the DemoRATS were honest about socialism back then.

Remember the history of the Rebel battle flag, the DemoRATS own it! Long live the Christian Conservative South!

No defense lawyer will spare strikes if faced with a majority black jury. Only one juror has to oppose the majority for a hung jury.

Douglas County is next door to Atlanta but it is not Atlanta.

30 posts (as of this writing) and no one has pointed out the most egregious fact of this case?

““We do want to say that we respect the rights of all citizens to exercise their First Amendment right, but we’re going to require them when they’re doing that to respect the right of all of the citizens to feel safe,” Fortner said at a news conference attended by FOX5.”

This “right of all of the citizens to feel safe” is enumerated nowhere in the Constitution. In actuality, this “right” the DA believes exists for all Americans is just another way of saying people have the “right” to not be offended.

This is PC doublespeak. There is no such “right” and in fact is the greatest threat TO the Constitutional right to freedom of expression!

Such a travesty that this “right” has become so ingrained in our society that no one even blinks an eye when a DA uses it as a reason to indict Americans.

*shakes head and sighs in disgust*

Why did the fools, drunk or not, choose to "defend the Confederate Flag" to a group of peaceful Blacks celebrating a child's birthday?

How is that celebrating Southern Heritage?

Their actions hurt the Confederate Flag cause!

And if you can't see that, I'm sorry.

“”This forum is polluted with posters using Texas in their moniker to look all down home but it’s tomfoolery”

I never noticed this, but over the past 10 years, I have read many
posters who are anti-South, under just about any circumstance one can imagine. ZIt gets old real fast.

You're either reading into the story or choose to accept only one side of the story.

The flag group stated that they were driving in route from point A to point B. They also state that objects were thrown at them as their several trucks passed by the party.

You don't have to like it but it is at least as likely as the "peaceful black birthday attacked by drunken rednecks" version.

Perhaps but they should not be charged with terrorism. Obama gives Isis weapons... but is not charged. Holder give guns to Mexican gangs... but is not charged. A few rednecks make a throwaway comment while leaving the premises but happen to do so while defending the honorable Confederate Battle Flag [ Rebel Flag / Dixie Flag / Army of Northern Virginia Flag / the Southern Cross Flag ] ... charged with “terrorism”. So talking back to folks who hate your heritage is now “terrorism”? Note to the regressive Leftists who denigrate the honorable anti Confederate Battle Flag. This flag was the flag of General Robert Lee who did not own slaves & who fought against General Grant of the North [ who later became President of the USA ] who DID own slaves & was quite reluctant to ever let them go but was FORCED to do so under the new law outlawing slavery and amendment to the Constitution.

They were driving down the road in a flag convoy. I guess that doesn’t bother you - a traitor to the South.

A bunch of idiots trying to ruin a kids birthday party. Terrorism? No. But being charged with disturbing the peace would be good. 30 days in jail for each should be max and maybe a 10,000 fine.

Exactly. Being “reasonable” about the sodomites doing what they wanted in the privacy of their homes, agreeing that government had no business in their bedrooms, got us sodomite mirage. I’m done being reasonable with people who play by no rules at all, just whatever wins for them at all costs. When the Black Panthers can get many passes after calling publicly for death to whites, I’m not going to be on the opposition side by calling people who openly support a long-standing marker of southern pride, “terroristic” for practicng their freedom of speech. This is the same tactic the left has pulled on pro-life protestors.

Thanks for the recognition. South haters is what this is. And breaking Southern heritage is required for the neo-marxist agenda.
