Activist Gene Stilp, pictured below, has filed a permit to burn the Confederate Flag. This is his reaction to the Bloomsburg Fairs refusal to ban the sale of Confederate Flags.
“We are in the process” of requesting a permit to burn a combination Nazi-Confederate battle flag in front of the Columbia County Courthouse on Friday at 11 a.m to coincide with the start of the Bloomsburg Fair. Recently the Bloomsburg Fair group voted to allow the sale of Confederate flags.”
In a news release, Stilp posed the question:
“Is racism, bigotry and hate alive in Columbia County and the surrounding counties? What is the exact nature of the Confederate flag that does not make it a symbol of racism, hate and bigotry? It stands for all of the above, including the KKK. Is this what the residents of this county stand for?”
His is contacting the Bloomsburg Police Department for a permit and also the Columbia County Commissioners. So far he has been unable to locate the proper person, in order to file the permit.
“The Nazi flag and the Confederate flag both stand for racial hatred, bigotry, death to American citizens and oppression,” Stilp said. “I think that activists have to burn this combination Nazi-Confederate flag in front of more courthouses in Pennsylvania to root out racism across the state. Folks have to ask the question: what does the Confederate flag stand for and are they and their friends supporters of that anti-American message?”
One side of the flag is a “Nazi” flag. The other is the Confederate Battle Flag. Two symbols that have no place on the same piece of cloth.
