Well Dovey, the way I see it ....
...the guy belonged to a movement - Black Lives Matter, Antifa, whatever....who antagonized these neo-Confederate movements by tearing down Confederate monuments, flags, etc.
So perhaps they tipped the police off about him.
Or somebody did.
Same time, I 've said in this thread and before this incident that BLM/Antifa should just leave these Confederate monuments and their flags alone. But of course they didn't. And it comes back to bite them in the ass.
They tore down somebody else's symbols, and they get retribution coming back to them.
It's like Kids in a schoolyard. You do something to me, I do it back to you.
Karma's a bitch, aint it?
Y'know, maybe there's a share of these what you refer to as 'child predators' in the Confederate movement as well. Whatever. But that's not the point.
These Confederates are an easy target - because they are for the most -part - poor or working class Whites. They have no economic power so the establishment figures - let's go after them. So they drive those types into their basements hanging up the Flags of Dixie. Push it underground. But if they do, then they're taking away what little freedom of expression and identity these people have, and connection with their past. While I draw the line hanging up flags of the nazi movement, society has to allow those people to let off some steam. And maybe the Confederate flag is the limit.
I figger, if the establishment is gonna shove LGBTQ flags and banners down our throats, then let Confederates fly around with their flags. Provide some balance. Freedom of Expression. I'm not fan of the Confederates, but I wouldn't mind seeing Confederate flags shoved down the throats of the establishment and the LGBTQ movement. Give them a taste of their own medicine.
Y'know, this is the first time in years that my city, Vancouver, isn't gonna have a Pride Parade because of the CVID pandemic
And it's a sense of relief to be able to walk down the street this year not having to see that mind pollution or perverted behaviour shoved in my face. At least for just 1 year, give us our city back.
DUDE!!!!
This is officially my favorite post by you lol
For the most part anyway lol.
Man, Im one of those poor working class folks. I aint got much, but I worked for everything I own. I dont get to go on vacations, especially nothing fancy. My vacation is usually sittin' in the woods near a stream, with a campfire, a pack of hotdogs, and a bottle of whiskey lol.
The thing about us workin' folk, that dont have much, we do have a sense of pride. We take pride in the things we do. We take pride in taking care of our loved ones. We take pride in the work our hands do. And we take pride in our country.
For us to see our country going down in flames for 8 years or more, that hurt. Then Trump was bringing it back, and for 3 years our hopes were getting higher, only to see it all come crashing down withing 3 months or less.
But it didnt stop there... no they had to start attacking the things we hold dear. They started attacking our country's flag, our freedom of speech, our right to express ourselves, our houses of prayer, and of course... our Southern PRIDE. Ya dont attack a man's pride, or his honor, for it is a great offense to a real man, that has any balls. A Scarface quote comes to mind lol,
“All I have in this world is my balls and my word, and I don't break them for no one.”I know the Flag of Northern Virginia is not the actual Confederate flag (shows how much these idiots actually know), but it was the flag of Lee, the man who was a Union man, that said NO when asked to raise a hand to his friends and family. The man that fought against an invasion, an invasion that came down here and not only attacked soldiers, but EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. We fought for our rights, the very same rights those men's FATHERs had just fought 75 years before.
Us down South, we dont forget so easily. And we'll be damned if we let our forefathers names be tarnished, over fucking LIES! Yeah, we cant stand liars either.
Here in Virginia, 70-80% of the men fought in that war. Because the majority of the battles took place here. CHILDREN fought in that war. Freed blacks, slaves willingly fighting, Natives, Asians, Mexicans, Scottish, Irish, all fighting TOGETHER down here.
But they dont want anyone knowing that. That we banded together. THEY want everyone thinking "evil white slave owners in the South" and that the war was over slavery.
Its all about Divide and Conquer, and THEY are doing a damn good job doing it.
I might be mad about a lot of shit going on, but I still remain true to myself, and I still have my Pride, and I will fly my flag, for I aint some Beta Cuck that is about to take a knee
