Indiana man shot after defending Confederate flag with a machete
An Indiana man who was shot while flying a Confederate flag in a predominantly black South Bend neighborhood is not a racist, his friend wants the world to know.
The South Bend Tribune’s Erin Blasko reports that Cally Baker, a friend of the victim, insisted that “I’ve never known him to use any racial slurs.”
“Unless someone provoked him,” she added, “I can’t imagine him just blurting out the N-word.”
According to witnesses, the victim drove his white SUV into the parking lot of a convenience store in a largely black neighborhood. Baker claims that the Confederate battle flag flying from it also “has a military emblem on it,” and as the 28-year-old is an Army veteran, “he was proud more or less because of the military aspect of it.”.....
“He had absolutely no weapon on him,” Baker said, “except the machete.”

That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time.

I thought surely this is the Onion, but nope there really are people this stupid! And they are breeding!
