FLAGS IN MANHATTAN UNDER ATTACK
The Confederate flags had been in a Manhattan apartment's windows for over a year. And then, in a matter of days last week, rocks were thrown at them, a window was punched out, a tarp was hung over them and legal action taken.
By this week, the lighted flags were no more to be found in the seventh-floor windows in the East Village neighborhood, where the Confederate flag was displayed alongside an Israeli flag and a colonial-era American one.
The flags' owner, William Green, said by e-mail that the reaction reflects a misunderstanding of their meaning. he said the battle flag represents Confederates who "loved their country." "Heritage not hate."
And the press likes to portray Confederate-Haters as nice, stand-up, do-the-right-thing folks. I don't think so. Was this a Hate Crime?
Oh Well. Anti-Confederates Behaving In Their Usual Way. --Old Secesh
