      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.

              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-off1, 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.

        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.

    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.

      You could use a potato gun for that.

      Just make sure to pack it tight! 😜
