I had to get my coffee for this. Touchy subject that could start rolling down hill very quickly.

I'm Southern, everybody in my family is Southern except for my sister-in-law who is from Peoria Illinoise. Anyway, what happened to those two people is shit, pure and utter shit. It's the US and freedom of expression is central to our fundemental values. Oh how these people would whine if the shoe were on the other foot. To attack anyone, especially teenagers for the shirts they wear is lower than low. Their attackers are the scum of the earth. Hope someone sticks it to 'em.

Personally, though, I'm not a big fan of the rebel flag. If you've studied the Civil War you recognize that it does sorta insinuate a racist society. Not only that but it also represents the seperation of the US as a nation. I mean, I understand there was a lot of politicking behind the Civil War, but one of the major factors was slavery. Idon't think anyone should be punished for wearing or displaying it. It's a free country.
