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

      I think this boy is a hero. However the charge is that someone own that flag. Public or private property. I can’t pull the trump flags off of the white truck that drives around all day.

      I hate that truck and its stupid flags but I can’t touch them without getting arrested.

      This kid knew what he was doing.

      Btw I did confront the white truck guy when he was doing work for a Mexican family. “No flags today huh? Decided your 4 trump flags would ‘fly’ with these customers. It’s wild because I thought beliefs were something a person should stand for. For example I would never take a job from, you can’t pay me to tolerate trump.”

    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.

        "Of course, I’m an idiot… "

        I don’t know how many times I’ve said that in my life… maybe because I’m an idiot.

      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.

            If we’re bringing in artillery, I propose we move to a bigger monument to white supremacy

              I’ve seen this in person. That rock was beautiful without it (still is, just less so). But this photo captures not only how it’s a toy-scale Mt. Rushmore knock-off1, but it’s just fucking ugly. Not good art, not a good monument, not a good memorial, not good execution, and not even the best material choice for such a thing. And that’s besides the fact that it’s a giant middle-finger to social progress, Civil Rights, and everything that prompted it’s creation. Plus, the only way to get rid of it is to use dynamite to make an even bigger fucking hole in the middle of the tallest natural thing in the area. What a waste.

              That said, it’s a nice day hike up to the top, but do check the weather report. When I went, Atlanta smog obscured the view.

              1 - Said mountain is also a travesty when you get into the history of it.

                The same KKK enthusiast who defaced Six Grandfathers to make Mount Rushmore was the original sculptor for Stone Mountain, but he quit because even the Klan, who was funding the whole thing, thought he was too much of an asshole.

            Bring in the sculptors and reshape them in to MLK, Susan B Anthony, and Harvey Milk. Watch the good ol’ boys squirm.

    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

    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.

    They got his name wrong in the headline. It’s actually Chad McChadface.
