I'm happy the flag is coming down. But it's a knee jerk reaction. Does anyone believe that had it been removed in 2000 instead of relocated to the confederate soldiers memorial this shooting would not have occurred? Likewise, does anyone believe that any of the gun laws proposed after Sandy Hook would have prevented it?

of course it won't be all good. and of course the shooting would still have occurred.
that doesn't mean the flag should remain either. it's too bad it took such a thing to get those bozos to take it down, but it's certainly not a cure all or anything of the sort. but it does remove a blight, one that should have been gone long ago. well, it shouldn't have been put back up. it was done as a collective nose thumbing toward dc back when the civil rights movement was gearing up. it wasn't for heritage, it wasn't for pride, it was to send a message.
