Karen Bass defies order to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk
« on: September 13, 2025, 11:40:06 am »
My title - initial report from X:

Anthony
@AnthonyCabassa_
🚨A @LAFD source has sent me this internal email, that @MayorOfLA has instructed Los Angeles city flags NOT be displayed at half staff.

“Flags shall remain raised to full staff each day … unless directed by the Mayor.”

This despite @POTUS signing a half-staff proclamation.

This is the same mayor who, four months ago, ordered flags at half-staff for "civic leader Nate Holden," whoever the hell he was, and also for Rep. John Lewis, even though he was from Georgia.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I can't comment. It would just be removed anyway and I won't make extra work for the mods.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Personally, I think the half-staff business is overdone, and it shouldn't be ordered for private citizens, those who didn't serve in Congress or the military, etc. But that's just me.

Is she now issuing orders from Uganda or whatever African hellhole she frequents?

The mayor of Aurora, IL, not wanting to comply with DJT or honor Charlie, also has ordered flags at full staff. The firefighters at one station refused.
