Woman Climbs Pole To Take Down Confederate Flag, And Then Something AMAZING Happens According to recent reports, a 30-year-old black woman was arrested without incident after climbing up a flagpole outside of South Carolinas Statehouse on Saturday Morning. Her goal was to pull down the Confederate flag that was hanging there, just hours before a rally was set to take place by supporters of the flag. The woman was arrested as she descended the 30-foot-pole, along with a white man who was helping her in the process. The flag was raised once again shortly after the arrest, and can only be removed legally by South Carolinas legislature. Republican Governor Nikki Haley and several other politicians have called for the flags removal following the Charleston church shooting that took the lives of nine black church members. You come against me with hatred and oppression and bias, Brittany Ann Byuarium Newsom yelled from the flagpole to authorities. I come against you in the name of God. This flag comes down today. Im prepared to be arrested. What do you think of Newsoms actions? Do you support the true meaning of the Confederate flag?
