This thread wasn't made with the intention to become a flag/not flag issue. I wanted folks to think for a minute, beyond the media narrative and the grandstanding of politicians, as though that will fix the problem. It doesn't even put a band aid on it. I'm saddened as a citizen, to see so much arguing about a somewhat trivial matter, imo, in relation to the evil act that took 9 lives.
Don't think there aren't others out there capable of committing such an atrocity, against any other race simply because of hate, self loathing, ignorance, uneducated, stuck in poverty.... a myriad of reasons that combine to drive someone to do such an evil act. Yet as a whole, all those issues are used by politicians to separate and divide folks. And the media pushes that narrative. Until the next tragedy happens.. then the next "simple" fix or legislation is passed to make everyone feel better.. then rinse/repeat.

Lot of strawmen in here taking brutal beatings from the gun nuts.
Well that's silly and convoluted.
