    Brawl breaks out in front of SC Statehouse over Confederate Flag

    http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2015/06/...te-flag-brawl/

    . COLUMBIA, S.C. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — One man has been arrested after a fight over the Confederate flag in front of the South Carolina Statehouse.
    The brawl started about 7:15 p.m. Monday when about a dozen vehicles with Confederate flag supporters pulled up in front of the Statehouse and stopped in the middle of the street, Public Safety Department spokeswoman Sherri Iacobelli said in a statement.
    About 10 of the flag supporters clashed with about 30 people who were on the Statehouse grounds protesting the flag, the statement said.
    “The blood on my face, the blood in my teeth, the blood on my hands is no comparison to the Southern blood that runs through my veins,” Joe Linder told CBS News.
    Linder, who was hit during the fight, supports the Confederate flag and says “racism has no part” in it.
    “I’m gonna tell you one thing, I ain’t sitting down; this’ll just make me walk taller,” he told CBS News.
    About 50 officers responded and contained the clash, including officers from the Bureau of Protective Services assigned to the Statehouse, as well as Columbia police, University of South Carolina officers and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
    Two blocks of the street in front of the Statehouse was closed for a brief time during the disturbance.
    Sydney Baldwin told CBS News the fight began when someone took his flag.
    “I jumped out of my truck,” Baldwin said. “That was all I did, was grab my flag and I got hit in the side.”
    Nicholas Thompson, 25, of Irmo, South Carolina, has been charged with disorderly conduct. It wasn’t clear if he has an attorney.

    Hmm so the anti-free speech people initiated the violence, no surprise.

    lol, I wish the KKK/CIA would stay out of it (at the end of the piece the reporter mentioned the KKK would be coming to protest in a couple weeks or something.. I guess they need some time to post some ads on craigslist)

    I'm pretty sure when the real "brawl" and the real "clash" happen, CBS news won't be allowed anywhere near the disenfranchised side.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    I agree...if anything had to be banned..too bad it couldn't be the KKK. Unfortunately it's going to turn into a circus of rednecks and race baiters and the point will be lost.

    I think you all know what I mean. KKK types would fit in this category. I come from a long line of Scots Irish North Carolinians and I was born in Texas so I feel I can put my own interpretation on the term redneck.

    I would really like to see the Sons of Confederate Veterans and re-enactors in southern uniforms, along with members from the AME church, meet them in a counter protest. But, it probably won't happen.

    Same here. They have as much a right to protest as anyone else but they aren't really helping if their goal is to protect the flag.

    Seeing as they're Feds, I doubt that's their goal at all.
