Man wants Confederate flag in courtroom: 'We'll all be waving it in heaven'

[bathroommonkey76]

YORK COUNTY, S.C. - A judge will decide Thursday if a lawsuit over the removal of the Confederate flag from the York County courthouse will move forward.

The flag used to hang in the main courtroom before being removed and a judge will hear a lawsuit demanding its return.

Protesters plan to gather in front of the courthouse Thursday morning.

Russell Walker of Aberdeen, North Carolina, filed a lawsuit in June against York County Clerk of Court David Hamilton, asking a judge to force Hamilton to return the flag and pictures back to the main courtroom. The lawsuit alleges the S.C. Heritage Act allows only the legislature to move Confederate items in public buildings.

York County disagrees.

14. He's confused but if he believes hel'll waving it in heaven then he may have to wait for that

opportunity but if I were a betting woman I'd put my money on purgatory. Heaven's not a place for hatred.

[Iliyah]

2. Nope

[Dr Hobbitstein]

3. If there were such a place, he and his ilk would NOT be there. nt

[gratuitous]

4. Really, Mr. Walker?

[Botany]

5. "We'll all be waving it in heaven."

If Jesus was real and lived where and when the bible says then he was
a black man.

7. Um, no. He would be Semitic, as in Jewish, as in Middle Eastern.

[dalton99a]

9. He probably looks like ISIS

[Botany]

10. He would look like a current day Somali

The Jews from the Land of David migrated to what is now Somalia.

There is a tribe of Somali Jews that by DNA have been traced back
to around Bethlehem.

6. And then someone posts a "How to Communicate with Trump Voters" thread, as if they are sentient.

[dalton99a]

8. Yeah, in the White section

[DetlefK]

11. There is a special place reserved for traitors in the after-life. And it's not in heaven.

[spanone]

12. shhh, don't tell him that's not heaven

ya know russ, i really don't think God buys or rents people.

[atreides1]

13. He has no standing!

He isn't a resident of S.C., and his "belief" isn't a compelling argument!

[meow2u3]

15. Waving the Treason Rag in heaven?!

No. It's more like that confederate treason banner will burn in hell along with him.

[Bettie]

16. I'm losing patience with people

who demand that the flag of a failed rebellion represent our official government offices/functions.

If they are so attached to their mythical "lost cause" then they don't belong here, nor can they claim the label of "Patriot", which they also try to do.

They say "it's heritage, not hate". Yeah, buddy, except your heritage is BUILT on hate and the enslavement of people based on the color of their skin.
