Someone is going to get hurt or worse.  People, this is not the way.

A new and dangerous social media challenge is spreading online. Called #NoFlaggin.Challenge or #Destroy.ConfederateFlag, the challenge involves tearing down Confederate flags from homes, businesses, and even moving cars.



In one video, believed to have been the first of such posted, two men pull up to a home and one of the men runs close to the house and yanks down a Confederate flag flying there.



The man driving the car can be heard saying, “No flagging,” before the both laugh and drive off.



In another video, a man runs behind a slow moving tractor-trailer in traffic and rips a Confederate flag sticker off the back of the vehicle.



Another video shows a man tearing down Confederate flags flying in the back of a pick-up truck.

I can understand the want to do this, but they're risking jail and, potentially, their lives.

Somebody is going to get shot by an angry racist.
