The story hasn 't changed of late, Jeff Locke continued the strong streak of Pirates ' pitching in a 3-2 win over the White Sox yesterday; Gerrit Cole will look to do the same tonight against Jeff Samardzija and the White Sox. Last night, the Pirate bats exploded in the first inning by putting up three runs in a hurry, but that 's all they could muster throughout the night. If Locke and the Pirates ' bullpen wouldn 't have been so good, the Pirates -- more than likely -- would 've added a tally to the loss column.

As we know the confederate flag is the most debated topic as, in should we take it down or keep it up to represent the horrible past by it has behind it. The war the blood and the sweat the history of this flag is so bad and wrong and should be taken down why would anyone love a flag like this and know the true meaning behind it. The flag is actually the Battle Flag of Virginia. It was placed to represent white supremacy it was only used as the official flag for two years.
Miranda Wood B6 A recent mass shooting at a Charleston Church, where nine black worshippers were killed by a white man, has sparked even more debate about an old and controversial symbol: the Confederate battle flag. In his National Review Article, David French argues that the Confederate flag, though it should not be used as a symbol of white supremacy, should be remain in public for historical purposes. He claims that the reason the flag still hangs over Confederate cemeteries is to honor those who fought for the Confederacy, not to discriminate against African Americans.
The proper way to display a US Flag would be to hang it and not touching the floor. The artist Dread Scott is being disrespectful to the US Flag by having it on the ground. Then Dread Scott had requested people to write into the book. In order to write in the book you had to step on the flag. Then on top of that Dread Scott had a photograph of the draped coffin and South Koreans burning the US Flag.
The era of piracy, highly exaggerated in modern and popular culture, was seemingly ended by modernization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This can be seen through the development of modern governmental and naval technology, changes in the global economy, and the implementation of new laws, restrictions, and regulations. Throughout history texts provide evidence of the impact of modernization on piracy, highlighting the increasing difficulty for pirates to operate and find profitable targets to continue their life of pirating and poverty. Although there are interesting pirate stories from gruesome attacks and how they operate, from Captain Kidd to Blackbeard, these infamous figures of piracy have been the subject of countless books,
Blackbeard in my eyes is the toughest man known on the sea. He had class and no mercy with anything he did. He came from the military later to find out he was fit for the sea and joined into the piracy. He became the most well known scandal during the eighteenth century. He sailed the North American and Caribbean.
The Confederate flag has been one the most controversial and divisive symbol in American history. Recently, in the wake of the Charleston church shooting, the country has been in an uproar of the confederate flag. The shooting sparked discussion on whether the flag is hateful or represents the south’s history and wanted the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house. Many people believe that the confederate flag represents southern pride and southern history but in the mind of many others the flag represents slavery and the years and years of the oppression of African-Americans and other minorities. One of the reasons the confederate represents represents hate is that many hate-groups use it.
The confederate flag was a sign of the confederate states and the fallen tributes in the war. The flag never ceased being the flag of the Confederate soldier and still today commands wide respect as a memorial to the Confederate soldier. African-American newspapers decried the flag’s popularity
27 Sept. 2015. This article discusses how the Confederate flag is connected to the shootings in Charleston. It describes that the reporters were all over the story and the news of the shootings were traveling fast and the fact that he had the Confederate flag on him made people feel even more disturbed. They said that some believe that the shootings in South Carolina had everything to do with the Confederate flag because the shooter wanted to start another civil war and some could say the flag gave him the mindset to do it along with other factors.
All soldiers are true heroes; they die for a cause that they are trying to protect. The southern side felt over-powered by the fact that the northern side was going to industrialize themselves into a bigger economy that everyone would soon have to face including the south. This flag is no being taken down and pushed aside for the wrongfulness that was made from the church shooter; everyone knows a flag cannot make you do anything without your own intentions to do so. People now believe that his true intentions were based of the confederate flag and now they are wanting to destroy the legacy of the flag and keep it locked up in a dungeon, they want all knowing of this flag to be destroyed so they prohibit us to sell our flag, and they keep the unknowing things from the people in order to depict the hatred that the confederate flag
The issue of the confederate flag has been an important cultural discussion point for some years now, but has recently taken on even greater importance in light of recent hate crimes in South Carolina, as well as rampant police brutality and shootings across the country. Much of the discussion has been an argument between the two schools of thought being that either the flag is a symbol of cultural heritage and nothing more, and the other being that it is a symbol of systematic and violent racism that has no right being in a place of honor and reverence in today’s society. In a way both schools are correct. The Confederate flag is a symbol of southern cultural history; it also happens that that history is a history of systematic and violent racism, starting from the flag’s creation and on to its popular resurgence in the south at the time of desegregation and the civil-rights movement.
Jack the Ripper was a notorious killer, although he was killing carelessly, he was never caught. Also, he is credited with being one of the sickest killers of all time due to the way he completes his rituals Jack the Ripper killed five women between August 31, 1888 and November 19, 1888. They were murdered in Whitechapel and Spitalfields in the East End areas of London, England. Jack the Ripper was never caught, which leaves us thinking what kind of motives did he have for committing these awful crimes. No other killer in the British history was as gruesome and as bad as Jack the Ripper; a murderer whose arrogance and boldness would’ve got him caught, but instead defied the entire police department of London and had the city in terror for as
Pictures of the accused killer flooded television, social networks and newspapers. The displaying of the killer holding the confederate flag was displayed because of the killer’s hate for the black race. Nine people were killed in the shooting spree. The incident in my opinion was a demonic act because the killer sat and open fire while the congregation prayed. Sadly, only because of nine people dying because of racism, the flag was removed for several southern states.
