In the capital of South Carolina, the US and state flags were lowered to half staff after the killing of nine people in a church by yet another white male committing a mass shooting in our country.
But as the US and state flags were lowered, flying high above them was a confederate flag, supposedly representing the war dead from the Civil War.
It is amazing what is acceptable in our country in the name of our military and our wars. Claim those noble causes, and other reasonable decisions fall by the wayside.
