What's the charge? Lowering a flag? A cowardly confederate flag?

    I thought this was America! Isn't this America? I'm sorry, I thought this was 'merica.

    As a white man who lived in Atlanta for a time, I can’t express how weirdly delighted I am that a white boy from Atlanta did this.

    Maybe there is some hope.

    I lived in Atlanta in the '80s, in a house on Confederate Ave. I recently tried to find that house (which was built in 1843, which was kind of cool) but I couldn't. Turns out they renamed Confederate Ave., which is also kind of cool.

    The house was just a couple of blocks from Grant Park, and I always thought it was great that Atlanta had a park named after General Ulysses S Grant. Of course I'm an idiot and it was actually named after a different Grant.

    Imagine simping for a group of inbreds that got fucking cucked 160 years ago.

    Imagine simping for a group of inbreds that lasted half as long as the Republic of Texas lasted as an independent nation, not the best example I know. Also imagine simping for a group of inbreds that lasted fewer years than the Nazis, also not the best example.

    I am from northern metro Atlanta, and I'd like to request the giant flag owned by the literal KKK in Dahlonega be his next target.

    Easier said than done. It remains under armed guard and you have to cross a large field to get to it.

    There's a huge confederate flag flying in Washington state off of I-5 as of a few years ago.

    a sign said it was patrolled by armed guard

    Jefferson Davis Park is a private park located outside Ridgefield, Washington, in the southwestern portion of the state. The granite markers of the unofficial (in Washington) Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway are at the center of the park surrounded by Confederate flags. Operated by the Pacific Northwest chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the park commemorates Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America.

    What this country needs is a easily buildable pneumatic gun that shoots cow manure mixed with yellow paint a long distance. There are loser flags all over this area of the south and I think it would be funny to give them that extra ambiance.

    I sometimes wonder if there's a sort of chain shot one can toss at a flag to instantly tear it to shreds, like a ship's sail but much smaller. Probably not, though, given flags aren't tied down the same way.

    I imagine a paint bomb could be effective for defacing a flag at a distance? Honestly I think James Blitch's approach of simply lowering it is far more effective though. Especially if you can also remove the ropes. There's also a brilliant power move if they raised the American flag in the Confederate flags place
