West side, Smith Hill, Fox Point. Not as cheap as they used to be but still deals compared to Boston

>there's the video of him doing it
There's a video of a flag that's already up and him climbing and reaching for the rope. That could just as easily be him taking it down. I really don't know.
​
>i mean you see this guy hanging a confederate flag and you're willing to believe this complicated story about how he just didn't know better instead of the much simpler explanation that he wanted to hang it.
we could go back and forth all night but the fact is you see him fly a symbol of owning black people and you're willing to give every benefit of the doubt.
I believe in Occam's Razor and a random octogenarian decided to knowingly antagonize everyone who passes by his house and paint a target on him and his home, but only for like....a couple of hours before changing his mind? That isn't the simplest solution. Frankly, it makes no sense at all.

...oddly a lot of the "Merica" first crowd. They don't realize what the flag and this country stands/stood for. They just use it as a tool. Thats why you see them flying it in ways that are far outside of flag code or turn it into weird shit like a speedo or mud flaps.

We have two tiers of content, premium and metered. This is a metered story.
If you're being asked to register, it's because the website has counted enough views in the past time period (I don't know how long) to ask you to subscribe.
If you're brand new/new browser and click on the story, you should get a "2 free articles left. Create Free Account" notice on the bottom left.
Right now the deal I see is $1 for three months, which is pretty decent.

i mean you see this guy hanging a confederate flag and you're willing to believe this complicated story about how he just didn't know better instead of the much simpler explanation that he wanted to hang it.
we could go back and forth all night but the fact is you see him fly a symbol of owning black people and you're willing to give every benefit of the doubt.
>And the narrative that an 80 year old immigrant
he's lived in the states longer than either of us have been alive. you think it's more likely he avoided learning what this flag was for more than half a century but randomly raised one yesterday without knowing. i find the idea that he just likes it much more plausible

I have a feeling you a very well right. This person just happened to see the post about their racist father doing racist shit outside of his house and decides to create a reddit account just to "explain" dad isn't racist just confused. You would have to be living under a rock for his whole life for that to be the case, and the fact that they are now flying "Old Glory" upside down, which is another go to of the "totally not racist" crowd.
Day old account with no post history and hasn't responded to a single post on here. Or they have with their alt account "defendin pops" and that everyone should just lay off.

Remember, it's not just the prices, but also the interest rates. I assume you're taking that into account on the doubled mortgage comment.
If your job is moving you into Boston and expecting you to dump your home, I sincerely hope they are adjusting compensation to reflect that.

I simply don’t believe this man is your father and if he is, unless he is suffering from the terrible affects of mental decline, he knew what that flag means because he’s been around for 80 years!

Going just from listening to him talking and multiple people's firsthand accounts that are not just some anonymous person on Reddit, I'm not sure the dude is playing with all his marbles.
And the narrative that an 80 year old immigrant just randomly is going all "THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN" while living in Rhode Island doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, especially since he's living in an area with a shit-ton of black and brown people living nearby and passing by his house everyday.
Hell, are we even 100% positive that he is the one who put the flag up? Or have we learned nothing in the past 2 weeks since this

Whether you realize it or not, you're inciting violence.
And that is unacceptable.

If nothing else, I have to pay with a verified email address. The impression that page gives is that it's asking for a subscription to read, though as you allude to, a "free" account (collecting a spammable email address) would do. My only visits to the journal's site are when I click links here for more details without noticing where they go. It's not that often—maybe a handful of times over the last six months. As for the paid options, the price there isn't at all competitive.

what i like about this reply is you're trying even harder to defend him than his family. in your version he's now the hero pulling the flag down! it's beautiful!
