Wow imagine that, a black activist illegally removes the flag from a monument, saying she couldn't live any longer with it flying and had to have it down now, yes that flag is taking the money out of her pocket that she feeds her family with :rolleyes: They say the penalty is up to $5000 in fines and/or 3 years in prison, I hope they throw the book at her. And of course she isn't even from SC, but yup she just couldn't live not one more second, that flag was destroying her life from 100 miles away ( and oooo yea she just moved to Charlotte she was a closer to 300 miles away )


COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The two people arrested for removing the Confederate flag from the front of the South Carolina Statehouse have been released from jail in the state capital.

Officer L. Tucker of the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center said 30-year-old Bree Newsome and 30-year-old James Ian Tyson were released from jail Saturday after posting bond.
Both Newsome and Tyson are from Charlotte.
Newsome was about halfway up the more than 30-foot steel flagpole just after dawn Saturday when officers of the South Carolina Bureau of Protective Services ran to the flagpole and told her to get down. Instead, she continued up the pole and removed the flag.
