      There is this huge Confederate flag that flies near my house and the number of times I’ve wanted to set that shit in fire…

      Though I fully expect to get shot if I went anywhere near it.

        Folks displaying Tr×mp signs and hate symbols in the US are begging for others to come onto their property & vandalize their shit, just so they can do violence against the offenders.

        If you plan to vandalize something, please be cautious. I’ve seen FB posts about how they’d love for “liberals to try and take it down so I have an excuse to open fire.”

        Psychotic.

          I thought about it, even though my archery skills are near nil

          That said, the only way it’d work is if the arrow had a mechanism to grab the flag.

          The other way I would do it is if it was a trespass with people with military training who can watch my back while I lower the flag and replace it with the proper Confederate flag.

      That’s far, far too respectful in my opinion, but I can’t think of a better option that doesn’t risk blocking the sewers.
