. FOX 5 News has learned four Confederate flags were placed around a historic church in Atlanta.

Executive Pastor Reverend Shannon Jones called FOX 5 and said the flags were placed around Ebenezer Baptist Church sometime overnight or early Thursday morning.

Jones told FOX 5 that Homeland Security, the FBI and Atlanta police have been notified and are on scene. He said this is a federal property so that’s why federal authorities are getting involved.

I guess the feds own churches now too.

EBC is federal historic site, due to its connection to MLK.

Confederate flags found at Martin Luther King Jr. church in Atlanta
ATLANTA | By Rich McKay

Four Confederate battle flags were found on Thursday at the historic Atlanta church where civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. once preached, in a chilling reminder of the shooting of nine African-Americans at a South Carolina church in June.
The small flags, which a custodian discovered spread out on the ground outside the Ebenezer Baptist Church early Thursday morning, were intended to send a message of racial hate, church leaders said.

Not horror, but down right disrespectful of others.
