Via Jeffery

A Sevierville woman says she saw three people steal a flag off a truck in Gatlinburg and then set it on fire.

Kathy Leffingwell said she was spending time with her family in Gatlinburg on Saturday evening. She had stayed behind instead of taking a ride on the sky lift.

She said she saw three people walk through a parking lot, pull off a Confederate flag and then set it on fire.

"Was kind of shocked at first, it took me a minute to grasp what was going on and when I seen them I knew I at least had to snap a picture and do something," she said.

"I felt that I needed to get the picture and get it out there that people are destroying other people's property and that it's a heritage thing, not a hate thing and for someone to do that, i felt I needed to help out anyway I could."

Woman gives new Confederate flag to Gatlinburg man after his was burned

Les Goodin flies a new Confederate flag from the back of his Harley after a stranger went out of her way to give it to him. 

Goodin had his old flag torn from his bike and burned by vandals last weekend in Gatlinburg.

Kathy Leffingwell, who happened to be passing by, saw the whole thing and snapped some pictures.

"I didn't know to be mad or to be hurt," Goodin says.

Almost a week later he's still not over it. As a veteran, he flies the flag to honor those who fought in the civil war.

"I can't let it go because it's time for this racism stuff to end," he says.

Gatlinburg man whose Confederate flag was stolen wants racism to end

The man whose Confederate flag was stolen from his motorcycle in Gatlinburg and burned says he wants racism of all kinds to end. 

Leslie Goodin says he sees the Confederate flag as a part of history, not hatred.

"To me it's a Veterans Flag. As you see right in front of my house is a POW Flag, I have an American Flag, and I have a Confederate flag. They all three fly every day," said Goodin.

Goodin says he was out to eat in Gatlinburg Saturday night and when he returned he found his flag missing and a small piece on the ground.

"It's been waving from day one that I've owned the motorcycle. It didn't start just because of the Confederate flag stuff that's going on now," said Goodin.

Interesting thread on killing a sleeping soldier

 

Hello,

found this photo in a far relative's album. My relative served as a captain in the Bavarian Leib Infanterie Regiment. He wrote this on 5th September 1914 to his wife.

Photo shows the keen french major, who killed a sleeping German guard in the wagon with his own bayonet. He and seven others were executed in Ingolstadt.

Any chance to find out the name of the french major?

Thanks

A Bessemer man says his home is under fire.  He says a drive-by shooting left his house riddled with bullet holes, putting his family in danger. He believes the Confederate battle flag he flies on his porch could be the reason behind the shooting.

Alek Seundryk says he woke up to the sound of gunshots just after midnight Sunday. “I heard three gunshot pops. Three pops. Very loud,” he said.

Kayla Buckner, his neighbor, says she saw what happened. She was standing outside, near the home on Avenue J in Bessemer. She says she saw a car approach the house, then slow down. “They stopped and conversated. He said naw man, eff that, and shot into their house,” Buckner said.

Bruce Jenner Kills Woman in Car Crash and the Elite Cover Up

Was Paparazzi to blame or Bruce Jenner. Is the Elite covering this up as he has now become their prime show case propaganda piece?

Bruce Jenner’s fatal car crash cover up. If you and I slammed into the back of TWO cars and killed someone we would be charged with something.

But, why is it, we hear little about this on the six O’clock news, and he gets the Arthur Ashe Award for coming out as a transgender instead of being charged.

Oh, and why when he gets the award, he is Caitlyn Jenner but when he is involved in a car accident that kills a woman he is Bruce Jenner.
