American flag always at half mast?
It really seems within the last year or two, every time something remotely tragic happens in this country the flags are at half mast for like a month. I mean the decease of a president is understandable. But when I look outside and see a flag half up and I don't even know why, it really bothers me. I just personally feel that it is an almost insecure feeling to see that all the time. Tragedy's happen everyday. Go to bad neighborhoods and suburbs and what not, shootings are not uncommon and they go unnoticed. Now I believe the flag was at half because of the school shootings the last few weeks. Now of course I feel the shootngs were a terrible thing. But when this happens to middle-upper class America, thats the only time people get concerned. Just bothers me, I dunno just want to see others opinions on this.
