Brawl Breaks Out In Front Of South Carolina Statehouse Over Confederate Flag

COLUMBIA, S.C. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — One man has been arrested after a fight over the Confederate flag in front of the South Carolina Statehouse.

The brawl started about 7:15 p.m. Monday when about a dozen vehicles with Confederate flag supporters pulled up in front of the Statehouse and stopped in the middle of the street, Public Safety Department spokeswoman Sherri Iacobelli said in a statement.

About 10 of the flag supporters clashed with about 30 people who were on the Statehouse grounds protesting the flag, the statement said.

“The blood on my face, the blood in my teeth, the blood on my hands is no comparison to the Southern blood that runs through my veins,” Joe Linder told CBS News.

They were in their trucks.......in the road. Seems the protesters had to approach them not the other way around.

I agree. Then stole his flag.
If they took my flag off my truck ,I'd stomp his ass and every one that lines up with him.

No you wouldn't. They will swarm on you in seconds without worry of jail or being jobless. They are being brain washed by Potus. Lay low and vote smart.

Well miss Haley you will soon be a common citizen like the rest of us. You should remember the people who voted for you. They will most certainly remember you.

And that's when I assert my favorite Right! Hopefully they're like me and willing to die for what they believe in and keep coming.

learn to fight.Being a bloody mess does not make one a fighter.On the contrary it suggests that the injured person was wildly swinging for some moral reason and not connecting.These guys are in every town USA.

Maybe we could teach the 'tolerant' to be more tolerant. They were out numbered. I somehow doubt they started the fight.
