Hate in LaPlata

Confederate flag representing hate is a manufactured butt hurt.
Won't change people's minds. It's what he used to call in formal debate - "attitudinal inherency" - you can't fight how people THINK.

Admittedly, I didn't realize it, until I moved to an area where there were a LOT more black people. When I was in grade school, they had this show on TV called the Cosby Kids - and there was a kid on there called "Nipper" and he wore a Confederate hat - and yeah, he was black. I thought that is so cool, so when I saw one for sale, I bought it.

Wearing it to school - I was confronted by the idea that "Confederates" were the people that hate black people - so I was somehow making a statement. Huh? I thought it was a cool hat. I didn't go through life "making statements" except to wear things I thought were cool.

Funny that the flagpole incident made it to smnewsnet but, the helicopter that landed at the local elementary school yesterday morning to airlift someone out wasn't news-worthy. Priorities I guess....

More then likely Senior prank. Its that time of the year. As for the helicopter it can sometimes fly someone out of Southern Maryland several times a day. If everytime someone see's the helo land and depart and expects to see something posted in the news, it could have been a car accident, could have been a old person who fell with a head injury. There are many reasons for the helo to be flying someone out and its not always a news worthy event. Just saying

There's already been too much ink wasted on this story. The JROTC should have just taken the flag down, kept their mouth shut, and raised the American flag like any other morning. But no, I guess we are training them early to be butt hurt about everything so when they do join our new woke military, all will be well.

Which school?

Still trying to find a story on why the state police helo was flying around the California Sheetz at 0400 for over an hour the other day.

I was referring to the school that had the unreported state police helo landing.
Okay, my bad. As to the helicopter landing at the school, was that for the hit and run down Piney Point way?

Now as to the 0400 orbiting around Sheetz, no clue.
