I think this boy is a hero. However the charge is that someone own that flag. Public or private property. I can’t pull the trump flags off of the white truck that drives around all day.
I hate that truck and its stupid flags but I can’t touch them without getting arrested.
This kid knew what he was doing.
Btw I did confront the white truck guy when he was doing work for a Mexican family. “No flags today huh? Decided your 4 trump flags would ‘fly’ with these customers. It’s wild because I thought beliefs were something a person should stand for. For example I would never take a job from, you can’t pay me to tolerate trump.”
I lived in Atlanta in the '80s, in a house on Confederate Ave. I recently tried to find that house (which was built in 1843, which was kind of cool) but I couldn't. Turns out they renamed Confederate Ave., which is also kind of cool.
The house was just a couple of blocks from Grant Park, and I always thought it was great that Atlanta had a park named after General Ulysses S Grant. Of course I'm an idiot and it was actually named after a different Grant.
That's okay, Ohio has a Hitler Park. And Hitler road. Different Hitler(s) though. Dr Gay Hitler, a prominent dentist and son of George Washington Hitler.
Imagine simping for a group of inbreds that lasted half as long as the Republic of Texas lasted as an independent nation, not the best example I know. Also imagine simping for a group of inbreds that lasted fewer years than the Nazis, also not the best example.
I've seen this in person. That rock was beautiful without it (still is, just less so). But this photo captures not only how it's a toy-scale Mt. Rushmore knock-off^1^, but it's just fucking ugly. Not good art, not a good monument, not a good memorial, not good execution, and not even the best material choice for such a thing. And that's besides the fact that it's a giant middle-finger to social progress, Civil Rights, and everything that prompted it's creation. Plus, the only way to get rid of it is to use dynamite to make an even bigger fucking hole in the middle of the tallest natural thing in the area. What a waste.
That said, it's a nice day hike up to the top, but do check the weather report. When I went, Atlanta smog obscured the view.
^1^ - Said mountain is also a travesty when you get into the history of it.
The same KKK enthusiast who defaced Six Grandfathers to make Mount Rushmore was the original sculptor for Stone Mountain, but he quit because even the Klan, who was funding the whole thing, thought he was too much of an asshole.
Jefferson Davis Park is a private park located outside Ridgefield, Washington, in the southwestern portion of the state. The granite markers of the unofficial (in Washington) Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway are at the center of the park surrounded by Confederate flags. Operated by the Pacific Northwest chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the park commemorates Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America.
What this country needs is a easily buildable pneumatic gun that shoots cow manure mixed with yellow paint a long distance. There are loser flags all over this area of the south and I think it would be funny to give them that extra ambiance.
I sometimes wonder if there's a sort of chain shot one can toss at a flag to instantly tear it to shreds, like a ship's sail but much smaller. Probably not, though, given flags aren't tied down the same way.
I imagine a paint bomb could be effective for defacing a flag at a distance? Honestly I think James Blitch's approach of simply lowering it is far more effective though. Especially if you can also remove the ropes. There's also a brilliant power move if they raised the American flag in the Confederate flags place
What's the charge? Lowering a flag? A cowardly confederate flag?
I thought this was America! Isn't this America? I'm sorry, I thought this was 'merica.
This is democracy manifest.
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!
A succulent confederate flag?
That's why we call it ourmerica and not theirmerica
Congratulations miss pawnee.
GET YOUR HAND OFF MY RACISM!
What is the charge?! Losing a war? Losing a bigoted treasonous war?!
I think the only charge that would stick is impersonating an Oblivion NPC.
I see you know your fascism well.
Probably trespassing.

People may not like it, but you're right.
There’s nothing stopping you from accidentally tossing your lit cigarette into it after your buddy randomly tosses a jar of gasoline on it
As a white man who lived in Atlanta for a time, I can’t express how weirdly delighted I am that a white boy from Atlanta did this.
Maybe there is some hope.
I lived in Atlanta in the '80s, in a house on Confederate Ave. I recently tried to find that house (which was built in 1843, which was kind of cool) but I couldn't. Turns out they renamed Confederate Ave., which is also kind of cool.

"Of course, I’m an idiot... "
I don't know how many times I've said that in my life... maybe because I'm an idiot.
That's okay, Ohio has a Hitler Park. And Hitler road. Different Hitler(s) though. Dr Gay Hitler, a prominent dentist and son of George Washington Hitler.
Weird shit.
Of course Hitler Park has a disc golf course! The one I found is Martha Hitler Park -- Gay Hitler Park would be a bit too much to ask for.
That man should have done a lot more burning.
Imagine simping for a group of inbreds that got fucking cucked 160 years ago.
Good on this patriot. Fuck inbred Confederate cosplayer dipshits.

Things that lasted longer than the Confederacy:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
The Nickelodeon run of You Can't Do That On Television (1981-1990)
Tom Baker's portrayal of The Doctor on Doctor Who (1974-1981)
The AMC Gremlin (1970-1978)
The Ford Pinto (1971-1980)
The reign of the Petronas Towers as the tallest buildings in the world (1998-2004)
The partnership of the Cookie Crisp Crook and his dog, Chip (1990-1997)
Russia's 30 day special military operation has (or very soon will) last longer than the confederacy.
I could have sworn it was supposed to be a 3 day Special Operation, back in 2022 when Putlin launched it.
Updooted for a Dr. Who reference. Even if it is one of the doctors I didn't care for.
The sex talk is strong in this one.
I'm Quick James, Blitch!
We respect a bad Blitch in this house o7
You sly son of a Blitch!
Blitch, please.
You lost how long ago? Take your losers flag down and get a life.
There's some real fucking weirdos in the Midwest who fly those... Like, your ancestors were part of the Union, idiots.
I am from northern metro Atlanta, and I'd like to request the giant flag owned by the literal KKK in Dahlonega be his next target.
Good news, Atlanta man! There is a 1.5 hour road trip waiting for you up north. Get ready for the adventure of your life!
Easier said than done. It remains under armed guard and you have to cross a large field to get to it.
Use a drone with a lighter attached
You gotta be more of a Blitch man
Bring in the mortars and canons, boys.
If we're bringing in artillery, I propose we move to a bigger monument to white supremacy

Whoa, TIL.
Bring in the sculptors and reshape them in to MLK, Susan B Anthony, and Harvey Milk. Watch the good ol’ boys squirm.
Everybody sleeps
(Pete didn't mean it like how I mean it btw)
John Moses Browning has a plan for you
I sometimes daydream about shooting a rocket launcher at Stone Mountain.
There's a huge confederate flag flying in Washington state off of I-5 as of a few years ago.
a sign said it was patrolled by armed guard
Not to worry. He's just a cowardly traitor, as is tradition.
How far away are flame throwing drones?
Zero clue how common these are, but here's a 9 year old video of a chinese flame throwing drone removing debris from a powerline. That would do short work of a slavery pride flag and probably doesn't count as military hardware. Probably.
They've been around for a while. Ukraine has been using them to great effect.
This one?

What in the Kentucky fried fuck
The reconstruction was a wild (and deeply racist) time.
Nailed it, thank you for looking it up I am too busy reading about hyenas busy bee busy bee
Flamethrower drone it is, then.
James Blitch. More like James-ain't-no-bitch.
Bad Blitch Alert
Go fund me? Get that man the best lawyer possible

Leave. Your. Phone. At. Home.
Best online dating profile I've seen in a while.

You could use a potato gun for that.
Just make sure to pack it tight! 😜
Ah the smell of right guard deodorant and potatoes in the morning.
Set them ablaze with a giant laser
Nah, yellow paint and the taint of shit is the way to go.
They got his name wrong in the headline. It's actually Chad McChadface.
Blitch in the matrix
That mug shot says he'd do it again.
I sometimes wonder if there's a sort of chain shot one can toss at a flag to instantly tear it to shreds, like a ship's sail but much smaller. Probably not, though, given flags aren't tied down the same way.

I was imagining a crossbow loaded with flaming bolts.
So of a Blitch
If SC wanted to be honest it an Israeli flag would be added to their traitor flag display
blitchin
"Yeah I called you a Blitch ... because you're my Blitch."
Well ain't that a Blitch?
Why not raise the black flag instead?
