'This flag comes down today'

Apparently, she is a god person, but kudos to the lady. They put the flag back, she wasn't shot, just arrested. I also read that they managed to raise 20 000 dollars in 3 hours for her.

Well, if she didn't, she should have.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed by her god blathering, but kudos to her for her bravery in committing a heroic and provocative act.

Pretty stupid if you ask me, all she did was take down a flag for 45 minutes which likely would've legally been taken down anyway, and all she got out of it is getting slapped with a criminal charge
