NY Governor orders flags at half staff

"Governor Hochul Directs Flags to Half Staff in Honor of Victims of Colorado Springs Shooting LGBTQ Gun Violence Prevention Public Safety Tribute Share Following Mass Shooting at an LGBTQ Nightclub in Colorado,"

From this link:

If I had a Flag to put out - I would NOT put it at half staff!

That is an honor reserved for heroes, and those of honored positions.

I am wondering if someone broke into a KKK meeting and killed some of the members,
Would Gov Hochul order the Flags to be at half-staff for them?

Open for discussion:

I don't know. Sometimes I think the flag should stay at half staff in honor of the nation that once was.

No doubt

I support the flag flying at half-mast because there are now 4 more souls burning in hellfire for their evil.

I don't think that's the spirit with which gov hochul ordered it though.

The murders in Colorado Springs are hellish on multiple counts. Open rebellion against the King of Kings was on display and the result is what the Bible declares: "For the wages of sin is death."

If NY flies half staff because of murders in another State, leave it there, because murders are committed everyday in States all over America, especially murders against babies.

Perhaps we should fly our national flag at half staff annually on the day Roe V Wade was overturned, to commemorate the loss of 63 million Americans.

Whatever you feel about the flag at half staff, I hope you give some props to the retired army platoon leader who took down the assailant. He is a hero.
