Stimulus Too Weak, Too Late – Cat CEO

Confederate flag spurs argument that led to shooting! Which person was racist?

A Friday-night argument between two teenagers one white and one black over the Confederate flag ended with one in the hospital with a gunshot wound and the other in jail, facing felony charges.

Azeff wore a hat with the Confederate symbol and carried a Confederate flag measuring about 5 feet by 3 feet.

Mitchell and a friend questioned Azeff about the hat and flag, asking if he was a racist. Azeff told them no, he was just exercising free speech.

I will ask again which one was racist and which one was exercising free speech? Obama and his policies has brought out more racist!
