Atlanta police Chief George Turner said his agency was working with federal authorities and they have not determined what charges might be levied. Turner said they have not ruled out a hate crime, though Georgia has no state hate crimes law.An officer from the Atlanta FBI's joint terrorism task force was on the scene "to better determine if any specific threats were received" and to provide support to Atlanta police, FBI Special Agent Steve Emmett said in an email.The Rev. Raphael Warnock, senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, called placing the flags on church grounds a "terroristic threat." - See more at: http://www.whio.com/ap/ap/general/confederate-flags-placed-at-mlk-center-ebenezer-ch/nm9BH/#sthash.4hogwEmV.dpuf

I guess the people of the church need to get flag proof vests to go to church. May be the FBI will get them for the church members, you know to protect them.

I am glad to see those flags in custody! Just another example of the lib media sensationalizing nothing into something. Good to see the federal gubermint spending thousands of dollars investigating a whole lot of nothing rather than devoting time and money to things that really need attention.

Terroristic flags? Hate flags? False flags? What a load of crap!

It's on the local news here as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on the church. It's gives the apes something to do until their next welfare checks are deposited in their account.

I would bet $10 that they did it themselves for the publicity.

wonder if they find bullets and firebombs as dangerous

If and/or when they find these evil perpetrators, what will they be charged with? Littering?

I read this morning it was thought to be a "Hate Crime".

Distasteful at best. Hate crime?

So leaving a letter of differing opinion on the church door is a hate crime?
