LaVonne Cunningham: Shouldn’t kowtow to those who don’t like flags, crosses

I don’t understand why they should discontinue displaying the Confederate flag. It is less likely to cause deaths than a gun, and they haven’t banned guns. It’s not the flag that killed, it’s just one person that did it. Why is it that one person complains and millions are punished for it, including the atheists complaining about our crosses. If they don’t like it, don’t look at it!

I’m with the millions who like them, thank God.

LaVonne Cunningham, Turlock
