The Daily Telegraph has learned that “police reportedly confiscated a gay pride flag” from the apartment of Vester Lee Flanagan Wednesday. In an apparent hate crime, Flanagan is the 41 year-old black journalist who murdered two white Virginia reporters on live television Wednesday morning before turning his gun on himself. In a manifesto faxed to ABC News, Flanagan, an Obama-supporter, claimed that his motive involved a “race war.” Flanagan was black and gay and apparently angered by the fact that he had been a victim of racism and homophobia at the hands of “black men and white women.” Both of Flanagan’s intended victims were straight. The gay pride rainbow flag reportedly found in Flanagan’s apartment is seen by many as a symbol of anti-Christian hate. After a white racist terrorist in South Carolina murdered nine innocent black churchgoers, photos of the racist with the Confederate Flag resulted in a media frenzy to ban the flag. Like the Confederate flag, the provocative gay pride flag, a symbol of religious oppression, has flown on government property. The Confederate Flag has since been taken down in South Carolina. Thus far, other than a mention in the Telegraph, the media has not reported on the fact that Flanagan might have owned the LGBT rainbow hate-flag.

It's amazing that folks still can't grasp the difference between what flies over a State or Federal building and what flies outside on personal property. It's not that complicated or hard to understand.
The "tit for tat", "well this is what was said about the confederate flag, so ban the rainbow flag" is just stupid & wastes time & energy. we look like idiots screaming "they did it first! so now we're going to do it to them!"
We need less foot stomping and finger pointing and more focusing on and fixing of the damn problem!

No mention by the joke Breitbart of any Black Lives Matter in the apartment? He was black after all and the reason he bought the weapon was because of the church shooting deaths of nine black church members.

I heard on the news (here) yesterday, that he was angry and went on his shooting rampage against the two reporters because he'd recently been fired by the station - and he'd (admittedly) had a LOT of anger issues - and described himself as a "powder keg".
It had nothing to do with the fact he happened to own a rainbow flag.
Breitbart - typical sensationalist "journalism". www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/08/26/.../32404967/

Breitbart massively failed in trying to equate the murders with a gay flag. The guy bought the gun which killed the news crew was purchased two days after the muder of the nine black church members in Charleston. The murderer even wrote it was the church murders that sent him over the edge. For Breitbart article to have worked, it would have required a Black Lives Matter flag to be found in the guy's apartment and a Black Lives Matter flag to have flown on government property. Nothing of the sort was found in the spartment nor flown on govrrnment property. Breitbart even stupidly posted in their article the guy wanted to start a race war and not a gay/straight war. They should have proof read their article. Silly, ludicrious, and not knowing the important facts thread and poorly written and researched Breitbart article. But we have come to expect both from the poster and Breitbart.

Flags are causing shootings all over the place. How about that? The flag hysteria in response to the SC church shooting was idiocy. You can't fight idiocy with more idiocy, tempting though it may be.

The gay pride rainbow flag reportedly found in Flanagan’s apartment is seen by many as a symbol of anti-Christian hate. huh? since when? seriously, i have NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE TODAY. I wish I hadn't heard it. So is there a consensus yet where they are going to lay the blame on this one (other than another mental case with easy access to a firearm)?

huh? since when? seriously, i have NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE TODAY. the poor oppressed Christians. It must be awful having to undergo the persecutions inflicted on them daily. I know right- what a nightmare having a church on every other block. Love the KY clerk that said he would die rather than issue a marriage license to a gay couple- and threw the military into it stating how people have died for his rights- to fuck over other people. www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/this-kentucky-clerk-vows-to-die-for-the-right-to-oppose-gay-marriage_55de1264e4b0a40aa3ad3a78Casey County Clerk Casey Davis has reportedly refused to issue marriage licenses to both heterosexual and same-sex couples in protest of the Supreme Court's June 26 ruling on marriage equality. In an Aug. 24 interview on West Virginia’s The Tom Roten Morning Show, Davis vowed to continue to defy the Supreme Court even if it costs him his life, Right Wing Watch reports. "It’s a war on Christianity," he told Roten. “There is a travesty taking place with that Supreme Court ruling [that] was completely unconstitutional, completely unconstitutional." "Our law says ‘one man and one woman,’ and that is what I held my hand up and took an oath to and that is what I expected," he continued. "If it takes my life, I will die ... because I believe I owe that to the people that fought so I can have the freedom that I have, I owe that to them today, and you do, we all do." He then added, "They fought and died so we could have this freedom, and I’m going to fight and die for my kids and your kids can keep it.” I am sure the 'gays' are going to kill you- get off your cross idiot and quit your job since you are unable to do it.

I say we ban all Jehovah's Witnesses. Better yet, ban all religion. Happy, now?

No, but the daily mocking of a whole group over the actions of a minority gets old. Especially when those same people doing the mocking are the first to say you shouldn't judge any group by the actions of a few members.

I must have missed all those reports of gay mobs hanging Christians all the while proudly displaying their "hate flag". Or the marches where they harassed Christians just trying to go about their day, all while proudly waiving their hate flag. Or the war they fought to keep "those people" in their properly subjugated place...all while flying the rainbow banner of hate.
Can some kind soul please point me to these historical sources?

Grumpy, we can point out that some psyco kills many people in a church has a flag hanging in his room, is the sole reason that that man killed all the people.
So its' only fair that we point out that having a gay flag hang in this psyco"s house is the sole reason that he killed the reporters, see how easy it is to misconstrue things.

I like how this thread is dismissed as "dumb" or "stupid" by people incapable of grasping the keenly nuanced point it makes. After Dylann Roof shot and killed 9 people at a historically black church in Charleston, SC; an entire culture was condemned because Dylann Roof was seen displaying their flag. It is true that the Confederate flag has a more sorted history than the history of the gay pride flag but reasonable people can agree to disagree about that, and we can all respect a southerner's display of the flag as southern pride, a rebel spirit, etc. However, some very unreasonable people got extremely hyperactive about it, and disparaged the entire southern culture, and slandered and libeled the mostly decent people who display the flag. It became such an over the top circus that NASCAR even attempted to "ban" the flag at their events. So, now we have a black, gay killer motivated by race and political ideology- clearly identifying with Obama, and the Democratic Party's radical agenda for the culture- and no one is talking about banning the gay flag. The reason is quite simple: the left hopes this story goes away, so they're going to bury it; and conservatives don't engage in the kind of historical revisionism and cultural cleansing the left does- where the whole country has to be scrubbed of any reference to any historical facts or events they find disturbing, or which might undermine their whimsical notions of a glorious Utopia. Good thread. Sad so few understand it.
