Linwood Controversy: Flagpoles and Flags Removed After Confederate Flag Flew

From Oct. 25, 2019, WRBL CBS TV News by Chuck Williams.

I wrote about this in the last post and followed up on it.

At first I just figured it was just another example of offended people doing something illegal, but after hearing the story behind the headline, I'd have to say the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) camp was out of line in what they did.

Linwood is a historical cemetery in Columbus, Georgia, in which many Confederate veterans are buried.  The city and the SCV camp had reached an agreement where they could fly the First National Flag, but not the Confederate battle flag.  Either as a camp or an individual, someone raised the battle flag and the city immediately moved to not only remove the battle flag but also took down the two flag poles.

I don't blame the city.  The SCV broke the agreement.
