I would say freedom of speech, among other things, is something black people are yet to understand. This is a hate crime, this is a race crime

They not only understand it,they think they have a RIGHT to murder white people.

I hope the victims thought their flag was worth it.

Well, I doubt they thought they'd me murdered for it at 4:00am. Has they thought that, they would have been ready. THEN what would the headline be?

"Racist White Family Lures Three Innocent Blacks Into Home Using The Confederate Flag Then Executes Them.

"Innocent Blacks Approach Home of Racist Whites To Protest Confederate Flag And Are Gunned Down"

Well, I doubt they thought they'd me murdered for it at 4:00am. Has they thought that, they would have been ready. THEN what would the headline be?

You have to wonder if this was a raiding party from a black town targeting a white town. And they picked one of the few (or the only) house flying a hated Confederate flag.

"Racist White Family Lures Three Innocent Blacks Into Home Using The Confederate Flag Then Executes Them.

Brings to mind the old "Better convicted by twelve than carried by six".

"You have to wonder if this was a raiding party from a black town targeting a white town. And they picked one of the few (or the only) house flying a hated Confederate flag."

The cops were on to them right away. Like right away. So something tells me there's a history. It could be they flew the flag because they were being harassed.

A raid? Yes. But not random.

You have to wonder if this was a raiding party from a black town targeting a white town.

If there's retaliation, then you could be correct.

I hope the victims thought their flag was worth it.

I doubt they expected to pay the price they did, any more then they expected to be killed for having a car colored blue. They flew that flag because it expressed something they believed in, perhaps no more or less then they believed in anything else.

If your implication is that no one should fly a Confederate flag because they might get killed for doing so, I'm sure that message will encourage many more southerners to take up the flag as a just cause to risk life for, as a symbol of freedom.

The black church that was shot up by the loser who associated himself with the Confederate flag inspired blacks to backlash against the flag, and this event will do the opposite for southern sympathizers. It's a recipe for race war, really. Both the white and black perps in crime were stupid, among other things, as they both have undermined their pet causes.

It is considered provocative.

If the local SJW's are running wild, you can hug your Confederate flag all you want but you'll probably top their list of white people they don't like anyway.

Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean it is always safe to do so or that someone might take notice and do something about it, legal or not.

Yeah. I've been saying that for years about burning the American flag.

It is considered provocative.

Are people who wear MAGA hats or have a Christian bumper sticker, provoking an attack?

When you cross the line from protest to assault, you're in the wrong and have committed a crime! Just because some snowflakes are offended, doesn't give them the right to attack, and maim and kill.

Are people who wear MAGA hats or have a Christian bumper sticker, provoking an attack?

I'm not defending assaults, I'm just saying that we've seen repeatedly these violent SJW attacks. We still don't know if they targeted that house because of the flag. It may be that their attorney will raise a KKK-rage defense, the poor yout's were overcome with hatred for the primary symbol of the enslavement of their ancestors. Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if they try to angle for a provocation defense or some justification, even a partial one.

" We believe that if the victims had been black, and the suspects had been white males with a Confederate flag, the same media would treat the double murder much differently. "

NO SHIT SHERLOCK !!

Actually, the "accused" in this situation, it will be asserted by their Momma, r all "gud bois & ho, thez luve gesus nd shit, gonna bez dokturs n shit, and if u don believe that, u juz rasis n shit.

Take these 3 worthless POS, and in the center of town, hang them. Leave them there until the birds have picked the bones clean.

Execute the criminals.

The white race is so guilt-ridden, beaten down, and intimidated that they will probably be awarded Medals of Freedom and turned loose.

I hope the victims thought their flag was worth it.

Correct me if I am wrong,but isn't this America,where we HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT to fly whatever flag we want on private property?

Your post makes it sound like you think they deserved being murdered because they were flying a Confederate flag.

Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean it is always safe to do so or that someone might take notice and do something about it, legal or not.

Are you French?

You sound like a professional surrender monkey.

It may be that their attorney will raise a KKK-rage defense, the poor yout's were overcome with hatred for the primary symbol of the enslavement of their ancestors.

Good luck with that. They came from another town, 25 miles away, to murder a 73-year-old and his grandson at 4:00am.

It not like they drove by that house every day on their way to work and had to put up with that "primary symbol of the enslavement of their ancestors". That's ridiculous. They don't work.

I'll bring the rope.

Your post makes it sound like you think they deserved being murdered because they were flying a Confederate flag.

No, it doesn't. You only think it does because you're being a retard.

If you want to make yourself a big target of violent SJWs, then go ahead and drape yourself and your property in Confederate flags. It is, after all, a free country.

Just don't act surprised if it makes you a target.

How do you know this?

Societies and cultures evolve at different rates. The Sub-Saharan African culture is still tribal and brutal.

yes even Abraham Lincoln thought the negro should be sent back to africa, he wasn't fighting for intergration and probably would have been appauled by it

Are you French?

He's not, but I am. I'm more of a "Let justice be done though the heavens fall" kind of guy than a surrender monkey.

I do recognize that in the face of overwhelming odds surrender is a tactic to stay alive to fight another day. And in particular, I recognize that capitulation can easily cause a momentarily superior enemy to think you are subdued, causing him to turn his back to face other enemies...at which point you can shove a knife into it.

Surrendering is a tactic to survive an overwhelming attack. Nobody ever said anything about STAYING surrendered.

I do not believe in playing fair with enemies who attack me. All is fair in love and war, and error has no rights that I am bound to respect.

When I get stopped by a cop, justly or unjustly, I always surrender because I don't feel like dying today over something petty. I judge them by how they treat me under that circumstance, which then colors my political support for them, and colors my view as to their honesty and rectitude when, for example, I sit on a jury judging one of them.

The funny thing about armed power is that you can't use it all the time. All men must sleep.

France has indeed surrendered, twice in her history. In neither case did she STAY surrendered. And in both cases she came back. The American South also surrendered. Knowing when you're beaten is an important survival skill. King Charles, King Louis and Tsar Nicolas didn't know how to recognize when they were beaten, and didn't know how to bend the knee to reality. So they - and most importantly their families - are extinct from the face of the earth. Our grandparents were smarter than they were: we're still here, and the world belongs to the living, not the dead.

You can be a surrender monkey. Just don't be a cheese-eating surrender monkey.     : )

Anyway, pete should like the background music.

And the source of the phrase in popular culture was a writer for The Simpsons, back in 1995. It is now included as a phrase in major English quotes dictionaries.

How do you know this?

Common sense. Because they lived in the next town 25 miles away?

then go ahead and drape yourself and your property in Confederate flags. It is, after all, a free country. Just don't act surprised if it makes you a target.

The same is true for people who burn the American flag, right?

You can be a surrender monkey. Just don't be a cheese-eating surrender monkey. : )

I am French. And I like cheese.

Surrender? Nobody likes to surrender.

Nevertheless, surrender is a valid tactic to live to fight another day.

If a cop stops you, the prudent thing is to surrender. If some guy sticks a gun in your ribs and demands your wallet, the prudent thing to do is surrender and give him your wallet. If you're surprised at gunpoint, the prudent thing to do is to surrender - for the moment.

But when you see weakness or distraction, you suddenly UN-surrender and kill him or cripple him. There's no particular reason to let HIM surrender.

So I'm a cheese-eating, quiche eating French person who views surrender as a necessary tactic to keep in the toolbox of possible response to temporally invincible threats, and who views treachery as a legitimate follow-on tactic to reverse the effects of surrender, in a time, place and manner of one's own choosing.

If you can't beat them face to face, pretend to submit, pretend to be their friend, and slit their throat when they sleep.

Diplomacy is better than war. When war is unavoidable, win. If you can't win, surrender...for now...and stab them in the back later when the circumstances have changed and you can win.

There is no hat on earth more useless than the beret. It does not keep your ears warm, it does not protect your head from anything, and it looks goofy.

The same is true for people who burn the American flag, right?

Of course. I've seen video of a few flag-burners or flag-treaders getting roughed up over the years.

Everyone in the world has freedom of speech. What everyone doesn't have is freedom after speech.

So I'm a cheese-eating, quiche eating French person who views surrender as a necessary tactic...

Oh, Lordy, just stop. I can't take it.

There is no hat on earth more useless than the beret. It does not keep your ears warm, it does not protect your head from anything, and it looks goofy.

Protects bald dudes from direct sun. That isn't nothing.

Protects bald dudes from direct sun. That isn't nothing.

Oh, yeah. There are bald guys. Well, sure, if you're bald then a hat makes sense, and it should be a LIGHT hat (because who wants to have weight and heat on the head?)

Ok, I guess a beret or a baseball cap has a purpose - for bald guys. Never thought about that.

For those with a lion's mane of hair, a hat serves no purpose but to keep the skull from getting crushed, or to keep the ears and neck warm in the cold weather.

Oh, Lordy, just stop. I can't take it.

Good! Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second tyme!

The same is true for people who burn the American flag, right?
Of course.

OK. We're on the same page.

There is no hat on earth more useless than the beret.

True. It's fashion. Like a necktie.

True. It's fashion. Like a necktie.

There is no article of clothing more useless than the necktie.

I do not believe in playing fair with enemies who attack me.

I do.

Honest.

Then again,I may have a different idea of what the word "fair" means than most people. To me it means I am the only one that walks away.

And the source of the phrase in popular culture was a writer for The Simpsons, back in 1995.

There is more truth aired on The Simpsons and South Park 1 night each week than on all of the network news shows combined.

How do you know this?

AND.....,what are the chances of them even having regular jobs?

There is no hat on earth more useless than the beret. It does not keep your ears warm, it does not protect your head from anything, and it looks goofy.

I'll not only go along with that,but will add that the damn thing doesn't even have a brim to keep the sun out of your eyes,or the rain off your neck.

Ok, I guess a beret or a baseball cap has a purpose - for bald guys.

Baseball caps have brims that keep the rain and the sun out of your eyes. Unless of course you are a yankee or some other stupid creature. If you are,it keeps the rain and sun off your neck.

Well, except perhaps the codpiece.

Speak for yourself.

It keeps some of us from tripping.

I do not believe in playing fair with enemies who attack me.

I do.

Honest.

Then again,I may have a different idea of what the word "fair" means than most people. To me it means I am the only one that walks away.

The key to me is "Who started it?"

I don't go attack people. My country does (and I hate that), but I don't.

If I'm attacked, it's because somebody else has gone berserk. And I really don't feel bound by rules in fending off the berserk.

Unfortunately, when I apply that same logic to my country, when we attack others, then whatever they do in retaliation would be fair by my rules.

I don't like the sound of that.
