snake and
Don t Tread On Me slogan being taken down from the Village Green in Hamilton was the site of a demonstration organized by Utica s Jim Zecca recently. Zecca, a former Utica councilman and leader of a pro Donald Trump group in Utica, told the Observer Dispatch that his pro Gadsden flag rally last week was actually a celebration of American history, and not a demonstration.
So, was the Village wrong for saying it can t be flown on public property? Is this just another example of cancel culture?
The demonstrators cited the Revolutionary War era history the flag has represented for more than 200 years, as a reason to continue to fly the flag on public property. They failed to acknowledge the fact that in the last year, the flag has been adopted by many of the insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capitol building on January 6th, some of those who believe the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump, as well as some white supremacists.
