What kind of person would protest a 9/11 memorial flag display?


Have you seen what America has become just in the last 6 months?

Maybe I'm naive, but I really don't think many Americans frick with 9/11 like that.



A memorial to firefighters killed in 9/11 was vandalized in a New York village

'It's just disgusting': Decatur 9/11 Memorial site vandalized

You're making the mistake of thinking these creatures are human.

You mean like the mayor of NYC saying it was too dangerous because of covid to set up the 9/11 light memorial?


Do you think this is the same as someone using a 9/11 memorial to protest something unrelated to it?

While it's dumb, I don't think it approaches the scum of the earth quality of someone protesting at a 9/11 memorial.

A majority of any protesters were like 3-5 years old when 9/11 happened. These people have zero respect for this country and all should be shipped off to IRAN... let’s see them try to be bad asses over there.

#allbuildingsmatter is a trending hashtag right now. You're giving these people too much credit

ETA: And yes I'm aware that twiiterverse isn't representative of the real world overall, but these things are happening

Yeah that's scum of the earth type shite. They exist, but they're cowards who do it alone in the middle of the night. Thankfully it isn't widespread.

That was a dumb thing to say, but it looks much worse when you take it out of context like that. Political soundbites are for the dumbest of the dumb, but they work so what are you going to do?

I mean, I heard the full context of the quote, but perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us as to how it's supposed to be received.

this feels like a made up excuse because someone didn't want to take the time to put out all of the flags


Not sure about that. It would have been easier to just blame Covid and be done with it. No need for any other reasons. By adding “protest concerns” makes me think they did that on purpose to make a point.

It's kinda owning the all lives matter peeps though.

It's one of those "you're not wrong, you're just an a-hole" situations imo.

It was saying that an entire group of people shouldn't have to deal with the consequences of the actions of a small subset of that group.

It was a very reductive way of saying it, and it should've been worded better, but one phrase of it got taken out of context and people ran with it.

I know we can't talk about this honestly because she has a D next to her name, but it wasn't confusing, just worded dumb.

Horse. shite.

You go ahead with the display while posting armed guards around/near it. You give them the authority to end any bullshite before it starts.

Again, all you have to do is provide the proper context in which you think we should have received the message. I'm genuinely curious as to how that's simply a bit of a wording mishap.

Anyone who would want to protest ANY 9/11 memorial should be shot on site......... 9/11 has ZERO to do with anything that has happened the last few months. Covid aside.........
