never mind it was the flag of a democrat, the democrats say fine with it, hollings, thurman, byrd, lincolngore, the bubbas loved it in '92. never mind that removing a flag will never prevent a massacre. if anything, it adds to the rebel image. removing the flag is indeed the falling and maybe it is necessary but a city run by a liberal that's way more harmful than a piece of cloth. we are one country and unit speaks our pride. if removing the flag from the capitol makes the victims of the charleston people feel at peace i'm with them 100% but you can feel that way and feel ire for an outrage machine bent on dissolving history. it's okay to ask when is this going to end? some are preoccupied in shaming the past because the present is so tedious. identity pirates of today are just bores with bullhorns and as their crusade demonizes the flag many will simply raise it higher than before but not as high as the rainbow flag flies now. >> this morning the supreme court recognized that the constitution guarantees marriage equality in doing so they have reaffirmed to all americans the idle truth of

they can go under the shepherd byrd hate crime law which if you use a firearm and that results in death there's an intentional selection of a victim based on actual or perceived race you could use that statute. and you could also use a church arson statute which says if death results from interfering with someone's religious expression. so they have three choices. the big thing, as mr. henderson mentioned, is we had a death or multiple deaths result. we had nine. so that's going to be the template over which everything else is overlaid. that being said the state charges merely require showing a premeditated murder and that there were two or more victims to get the death penalty there. that being said let me just say something, usually the justice department does not get involved when there's a successful state prosecutor. but reasoncently with the mississippi murder of an african-american after the state adjudicated the defendants and got convictions and guilty pleas the federal government came in as well. this is something that's relatively new. there's no double jeopardy bar because t
