    Default Virginia officials order US flag removed from building site

    RICHMOND, Va. — State officials in Virginia ordered the removal of a large American flag from a construction site ahead of the Fourth of July, calling it a potential target for people protesting racial injustice and police brutality.

    A spokeswoman for the state Department of General Services said officials asked a contractor to take down the flag from a new office building for state lawmakers under construction in Richmond.

    I guess the hammer and sickle would have been acceptable.


    Can we get to a point where the authorities will target the rioters and protesters who might target the American flag and the buildings instead of siding with the rioters and protesters themselves?

    So flying an American flag in America, by Americans is now controversial?

    It IS in some circles, my friend. Circles of anti-American and unpatriotic f*cks. And in circles of non-assimilating refugees. It is VERY real.

    Uh okay? Why would they have to complain about a LGBT flag. Antifa flag for sure, but a LGBT flag?
