Chuckey resident Donnie Barnett said he was taken aback when he learned the Greene County Commission is set to consider flying the Confederate battle flag at the Greene County Courthouse.
"Like a lot of people, I just kind of wondered where this was coming from," he said. "I just don't think the flag has any business up there" ...
"I don't really consider myself an activist or anything like that, it's just something I believe and I'm upset about it, just like several other Greene County citizens," Barnett said ...
"We just don't think there's very good reason to hang it up at the courthouse," Barnett said. "We support everyone's right to wave their flag wherever they want on private property, but we think on government grounds, it's not a very good idea."
