Morphine Prince 109,980 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Washington (CNN) - Alabama county officials refused to lower flags to half-staff to honor the victims of the Orlando mass shooting this week even after President Barack Obama and Alabama Gov. Robert Bentleyordered flags to be lowered. Citing the U.S. Flag Code, Baldwin County Commissioner Tucker Dorsey told CNN affiliate WPMI that while his "heart certainly goes out to the victims and their families," the incident "doesn't meet the test of the reason for the flag to be lowered." Dorsey added that the code states that the flag is to be lowered on Memorial Day and to commemorate the deaths of government officials.

Bye 3,947 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If they have ALWAYS lowered the flag just on Memorial Day and the deaths of government official, then it's not that bad. But if they're playing double standards... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Missouri did the same thing till they got enough pressure. Disgusting tbh 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMKKARDASHiAN 8,570 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 That's their view. No need to ask them to change it or be infuriated that they don't. They aren't gay hatin southerners, they just follow strict guidelines. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,958 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Interesting how he's a public official but the only people allowed to comment on his post are people on his friends list. Very disappointing. I'm from Alabama, and my mom is from Baldwin County, it's actually quite a beautiful area and the tourist hotspot of the state because of the beaches. I read his post, and I understand his reasoning, but after statements from the president and the governor, just get over it and do it already.
