Issue immediate pardons for Brittany "Bree" Newsome and James Tyson who took down the Confederate flag in South Carolina

Created by J.R. on June 27, 2015

Issue immediate Presidential pardons for Brittany "Bree" Newsome who shimmied up a flagpole on the grounds of the South Carolina state Capitol early Saturday and removed the Confederate battle flag that was flying at full mast in complete disregard and disregard and disrespect (since the State and U.S. Flags were at half mast) for the deaths of the A.M.E. church none who died in a racist inspired terrorist mass murder at the hand of alleged murderer Dylann Storm Roof. Also pardon James Tyson who was arrested with her for "defacing a monument" which was not defaced (the flag was merely taken down) as a symbolic gesture since the crime is a state crime and cannot be pardoned by the President, however, it will send a strong message to the S.C. Governor that she too should issue pardons.
