The Globe reports Melissa Carino took down a Confederate flag that had been draped over the memorial to the North's first black regiment last night after State and Boston Police declined to act, each saying the other was responsible for the historic marker across from the State House.

Because after reading everything that I've read, I respect the hell out of Jackson's foot cavalry and the guys from Alabama on the far left, who the 20th Maine stood up against in 1863.
If I lived in Charleston I would demand the flag be put back up. But if I was walking by St Gaudens Mass 54th at the top of Park Street this past weekend, I would have been the first one up there, tearing it down.
The Boston dot com site shows a different perspective.

That of the flag being tied around the sword. Wouldn't that be a Victory Statement?

By the sword we seek peace, but only under liberty.

Ense petit placidam, sub libertate quietem.
