Olive Branch, Mississippi Mayor Ken Adams has issued a statement explaining his decision not to lower the American flag to half-staff for Dolly Parton. In the statement, he says Parton was a great person who brought happiness to millions, but that he believes lowering the flag should be reserved for military heroes, fallen first responders, presidents, and events with a tremendous impact on the country. He also cites Mississippi's Home Rule doctrine, arguing that local governments have the ability to use their own judgment on these decisions rather than simply following state or federal leaders.

Did they lower it for Charlie Kirk?

[–] surge_1@lemmy.world 47 points 16 hours ago

It would appear that they did. The governor ordered flag lowering for both, but the mayor only speaks up about this now.

This seems like exactly the right question to ask. If yes, then why not for Dolly, if no, then I can get behind this argument.

[–] EggInDisguise@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You can get behind not lowering it because a person who spent their entire life helping people and encouraging and enabling others to do the same is somehow comparable to a racist bigoted piece of shit?

I think you forgot conspiracy nut, antisemite, misogynist, homophobe... and a bunch more.

I think he would be in the mayor's 'fallen heroes' category. Unfortunately!
