I agree. But in this case I don't mind because it fits my agendaMore swift action on the stupid flag than what actually caused the tragedy.
But seriously, as sad as it is, it usually takes tragedy to push across significant change in our country....or in this case effect change regarding a controversial object.
In the grand scheme of things removing flags isn't going to curb racism but the timing was right for those who oppose the flag to push their agenda to have the flag removed. Sort of like the Patriot Act after the 9/11 attacks. I'm willing to bet that some politicians and intelligence agencies had been pushing for years to have the power to expand domestic surveillance. Once those attacks happened that opened a window for them to push their agenda.
