The Confederate flag is still flying high at the South Carolina capitol building today

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley ordered flags to be flown at half-staff today in aftermath of the tragedy that occurred at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, and in memory of those who died, but it seems her directive is not applicable to the controversial Confederate flag that flies in front of the capitol building.
