Funny how no flags are ever lowered at half-staff for any school shootings.

Cuz you know, children aren’t nearly as important as one MAGA pundit…

    There were like 80 school shootings in the states last year. The thing should be at half mast until that problem is solved by this logic.

      it should be upside down as a symbol of distress until the ‘regime’ changes.

        The meaningless do nothing shit seems to affect a lot more people than it should. Hopefully that’s just bots on the internet making it seem that way.

        Oh yeah, they’ll lower the flags for literally any reason, because the flag has been meaningless for some time.

        See also: military cemeteries, and by extension, the military.

        Did you know anyone who was honorably discharged can be buried in a military cemetery? Doesn’t matter who. Whether you were a “war hero” (like my grandfathers), you died in war, or if you just partied and fixed trucks in Germany in the sixties (like my stepdad), you can be buried there.

        Keep that in mind when someone tries to make them into sacred places. They’re just graveyards, they have no further meaning just because the stones are all the same.

        The entire military’s been a scam since the same time period. It’s nice that more people are figuring it out.
