Author Triggered by Norwegian Flag
"Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house."
2.22.2018




ANew York Times bestselling author and self-described "veteran journalist" in Seattle was very concerned to find that a Confederate flag seemed to be flying in front of a nearby house.


True-crime writer Rebecca Morris saw something, and said something. She sent a news tip to the Seattle Times which read:


“Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.”


Turns out the story is that it wasn't a Confederate flag. Darold Norman Stangeland, the owner of the home in question, said “That’s a Norwegian flag. It’s been up there since the start of the Olympics.” He continued “I’m a proud Norwegian-American. My parents emigrated here in the mid-1950s."


So, no neighborhood white supremacists after all. But since this is left-leaning Seattle, perhaps Ms. Morris could keep an eye out for Antifa flags or Che t-shirts instead.

Flying the flag of the nation your parents came from in America isn't bad as long as it's a Western European country.

LOL! How utterly stupid this woman is. Maybe she needs to watch The Big Bang Theory's: "Dr. Sheldon Cooper - Fun With Flags"

"I don't want to go knocking on doors"

I get it, nobody likes their neighbors, but would it kill the obviously prestigious true crimes author to meet her neighbors before ratting them out?

She lives in Seattle, it's kind of its own little universe. Lol, Greenwood at that.

I like mine, I know the people in 90% of the houses I can see from my front door. We even have block parties with kegs and kids running around.

Seattle Residents Complained About A 'Confederate Flag.' It Was Actually The Flag Of Norway.
"Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood."
By Emily Zanotti - February 22, 2018

Over the weekend the Seattle Times jumped at a news tip: there was a Confederate flag flying beneath the American flag in the city's Greenwood neighborhood, and residents were very concerned.

Only, it turns out, it wasn't the Confederate flag at all. It was the state flag of Norway, and a group of friendly Norwegians were just trying to show their patriotism and support for their Olympic Team when their very concerned neighbors contacted local media.

“Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N.," the tipster wrote, according to the Times. "I would love to know what this ‘means’ … but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you."

Eager to get the scoop, reporters for the Seattle Times hopped into a car and hightailed it to view the offending flag for themselves. Only, it turned out, they weren't in for quite the controversial sighting they'd anticipated.

“That’s a Norwegian flag,” said the Norwegian owner of the flagpole in question. “It’s been up there since the start of the Olympics."

“I’m a proud Norwegian-American. My parents emigrated here in the mid-1950s. He skippered tugboats," the man continued.

One step away from calling the cops.

And when they show up and the poor bastard opens the door with a video game pistol, who gets the blame.

Why?

Is there a problem with that?

[Dr.3D]

So what's the problem with a Confederate flag?

The obviously prestigious True Crimes author extraordinaire sees a crime. Enough said.

The norwegian flag has a cross on it so it would be offensive in that area . Now Che or sickle & hammer is fully sanctioned .

[euphemia]

I thought the article was going to say because the flag features a cross like many other nations do.

Crosses are acceptable there as long as there is a black lives matter sign in front of it.

I used to know a girl named Dixie.

Why?

Is there a problem with that?

With flying a foreign flag? Or with a double-standard that says it's bad when Mexicans do it and good when Norwegians do?

If the former, then no. If the latter, then yes.

It's not the Mexican flags that bother me, it's the ones that fly it because they are part of the movement to take the southwest from the US.

So far as I know there isn't a Norwegian movement to steal Maine.

Liberals are the most miserable people on the planet. First of all, tattling on someone for flying a Confederate flag is ridiculous.

Secondly, here is her comment in the story. "She says, “Maybe that’s the story … we’re so stressed by all things political that we see things that aren’t there.” Who is we? What is she so stressed out about?
