Twitter campaign urges ripping down rebel flag

[jwplayer rFcZPhkc]

A new Twitter campaign called #NoFlaggingChallenge is encouraging people around the nation to shoot video of themselves ripping Confederate flags off their poles and posts, and then put the film on the Internet for the world to see.

Some are predicting the campaign – which basically urges people to trespass on private properties – won’t end well.

The WND Superstore stocks a vast selection of flags, including the Gadsden, Union Civil War, C.S.A. Jack Battle, Bennington, Betsy Ross and more.

“This #NolagginChallenge is going to end badly,” wrote one Twitter used, Twitchy found.

And another: “PLEASE DON’T do this stupid #NoFlagging Challenge. You could get shot! No joke people are crazy enough to shoot you for it!”

And a third: “please please be careful #NoFlaggingChallenge.”

Yet one more: “Please don’t do this! Y’all gonna fool around & get shot.”
