Nooses and Confederate flag found hanging in Livonia neighborhood; Family responds

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

This was extremely offensive in this day and time and I applaud the residents who stood up to this idiot

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Don't know why everyone is so shocked. I don't mind decrying racism when it is real. It's all the the little boy that cried wold, everything is racist BS that I get sick of .

Wen Ga first attempted to do away with the confederate flag, I was approached by the Gov's floor leader at the time and asked my take. I explained, that although the flag itself was not racist, that it had been turned into a symbol of hate and segregation by white people, and because of that it had no business flying over our capitol. I went on to explain, that if I was black i would be offended also.

I am also cool with the state giving an official apology for slavery. I think it is way overdue.

you are confusing my stands on such matters as , beating a cop in the face and trying to take his gun, and getting killed in the process as being justified as being racist.

I see all confederate flags in my ads, coincidence? I don't think so.

"Any kid could climb the tree and hang himself."

I found this comment funny. Mainly because any kid could climb any tree and jump to their death.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the public at large Someone on here was bleating about common sense being a requirement for living in the US. I almost fell off my chair with laughter when I read that.

In fact, he admitted he was the one that hung the second noose. The employee said it was hung in retaliation over the complaints.

"Screw 'em," he said of those offended.

I love his attitude

Some people just have way too much time on their hand and are always looking at something to complain about.......

People complaining about it have too much time on there hands, but you're OK with the guy who went out and purchased the flags, tied the nooses, put up the whole lot of it and is willing to spends hours defending it in the media, interact with police and spend more time and money to prove a non existent point.

It's pretty clear who has too much time on their hands here.

Where are getting all this information?

Interact with police? I didn't see any police in the article and really nothing they can do, Nothing illegal here

Spending Hours defending on Media? One guy went inside when asked and the other guy replied

"When 7 Action News reporter Jonathan Carlson approached Tomanovich for comment, he quickly went inside. Instead, one of his longtime employees at the tree service talked.

When asked if he thought the nooses were offensive, the employee replied, "No not at all. I love it."

In fact, he admitted he was the one that hung the second noose. The employee said it was hung in retaliation over the complaints."

"Screw 'em," he said of those offended.

How does complaining take more time than all of that? Complaining on the internet is what you were doing the other day. How much time did all that take? Not as much time as flag boy has wasted I'll bet.

My internet time is my chill out time for the most part,

What state did you grow up in?

[Dakine10 5,452]

So is the complainers. Whatever way you look at it the guy hanging up the flags wasted more time for no real reason. I'd complain too if my neighbor did that, although it would be directly to his face. We have enough things bringing down property values.

What state did you grow up in?

Mostly Montana and Washington, and also up in Alberta. Why do you ask?

Which has nothing to do with the topic. I wasn't my choice to make the hangman's noose a symbol of the confederacy. You can defend the flag, but you can't defend the noose. Keep putting them together and you deserve what you get.

Never underestimate what a kid can mistakenly do.

Hangman Noose symbolism death. Are you not aware of that

I don't need to defend anyone, I let anyone deal with death as they please.

What do they deserve to get? Nothing they did this on private property........
