Confederate flag spotted in Seminole Cty. [View all]

Just thought I'd mention it since I haven't seen one since the peak of the Bush years. This one was mounted on the side of a car, probably screwed into a metal frame post. Flag was about four feet wide. There was a young couple inside and I did my best not to look like anything was out of place when I had to wait along next to them for the light to change. But from the corner of my eye, I could see them both waiting to see my reaction.

If this has anything to do with preparation for the prosecutor's announcement regarding Zimmerman, all I can say is, that this is what happens when you allow a subculture to hold the cards for so long that their sense of fair play and justice has been skewed.
