You're more concerned about the people who, hypothetically, could get hurt in an attack that hasn't happened and in all likelihood won't, than the 9 people who actually have been shot to death. Reconsider your priorities.

There's a difference between someone having a confederate flag on their home, car, or other personal property and flying it on State government grounds. Just like the Nazi flag, if someone wanted to fly it in their privately owned residence or whatever, they have that right. People might not like it but it's their right. So that's why you see them in various other places without much objection. A person who has a problem with someone having a Confederate flag or sticker on their car can't really do anything about it. But on government structures, yes it can and should be challenged and removed.

Is the USA the only place in the world that has fought a Civil War and has the flag of the failed nation state flown on the grounds of a government building in the area of that country where that war was fought? I really dont know the answer.. just curious.. I would venture to guess the places that are doing that in the world are still fighting their Civil War or fighting a Cold War at best.....Monuments are one thing.... but flags seem more timeless and represent the present.. after all when a war is fought what is the first thing that is taken down or hoisted as a sign of victory or surrender?
