Putting a thread about the flag being half-masted cause a nutbar gunned down some folks from an commonly miscategorized religious order in the Political Forum is bout like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Can you imagine if flags were flown half-staff for any heart wrenching event?

It was a serious question. It didn't even occur to me that the Sick Sikh shooter was the cause.

Apparently that gasoline needs a spark. :p:

I heard on Fox News that the shooter was a gay, atheist banker who wanted to use school vouchers to stop global warming.

It's because of the false flag in Missouri.

It would be a horrible waste of half of a flag pole. Eventually flag pole manufacturers would only make half length flag poles and jobs would be lost.

What would be the problem, in your opinion?

That the flags would always be at half staff.No. Media profile drives that decision.
