The NY Daily News<\/a> reports that flag-burners met flag supporters in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park last night. I guess the flag burners were racists because the fellow who shot nine people in Charleston last week was also a flag burner, and the flag supporters are against racism;<\/p>\n

Anti-racism and police brutality protesters organized by a group called Disarm NYPD were chased from the park by a group of angry pro-flag supporters after burning a Confederate battle flag and an American flag in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n

Witnesses say a pro-flag demonstrator snatched the burning American flag before others chased the anti-flaggers away.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Once the flag burners saw the crowd waiting for them at their originally planned location, they moved their demonstration to the center of the park.<\/p>\n

I feared for the safety of my friends,\u201d one of the flag burners said, declining to give his name. “I work too, so I’m not trying to get fired or nothing. My boss watches the news.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess it’s unthinkable that people might disagree with your racism and disrespect.<\/p>\n

Amanda [Meltzer] appeared to lose her composure and walked away from the crowd.<\/p>\n

“They’re like an angry mob!” she said emotionally. “They’re not critically thinking about what that flag represents! It represents genocide, imperialism, and oppression!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See, here’s the thing, Mandi, you think that you have something to say and so do the anti-racism, pro-flag protesters. They have just as much right as you have to speak. I’m so tired of that “critical thinking” bullshit that the stank-ass hippies hide behind as their excuse for expecting everyone to agree with them.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, yes, I’m saying that everyone who burns a flag is a racist because Dylann Roof burned an American flag once. That’s as indisputable as your charges that the Confederate flag is a mark of racists.<\/p>\n
