Let's see.

The confederate flag was the symbol of treasonous armies fighting to maintain slavery.

The pride flag is the symbol of people who want equal rights and to be free of discrimination.

The two have nothing in common.

Hi sock puppet! Actually I think access to guns was a factor in both of these two loons and the carnage they inflicted. I am sure you have another jpg meme in the works to show otherwise though.

Jeffrey Marks of WDBJ-TV in Virginia talked briefly on air about Vester Flanagan— who went by Bryce Williams on the air — on Wednesday afternoon. Marks says Flanagan was hired as a reporter a few years ago after a while out of the TV news business.

Marks says the man had a reputation of being difficult to work with and being on the lookout for people to say things he could take offense to.

Marks says: "Eventually, after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him. He did not take that well."

Sounds like a couple people right here on this site doesn't it

^wild tangent^

Unless homosexuality, there is an Amendment in the Constitution that explicitly gives us the Right to bear arms.

There is no such Amendment about homosexuality.

So since one gay person killed straight people (compared to the thousands of gay people who have been murdered by straight people), the flag that symbolizes our hope NOT TO BE MURDERED should be banned?

That's like saying that because one person out there has murdered an undocumented migrant in the name of America, we should ban the American flag.

There is an enormous departure between a flag that was used by a movement that wanted to maintain slavery of a race being taken down in response to a mass murder of people who were part of the enslaved race, and a flag that is used to symbolize the hope that homosexuals will one day not be murdered and harassed being taken down in response to one person who felt targeted by their oppressor. One makes sense, the other does not.

The rationale is so stupid it hurts. The only common denominator between the two sets of issues is a flag. Brilliant.

It's debate by meme. Childish nonsense.

A Black man committing a hate crime has really thrown off your narrative
