Dylan Roof didn't stab 9 people with a flag pole with a Confederate Flag.
There's an infamous photograph of a Black man being struck with an American flag in 1970s Boston, I believe around the City Hall area. People were protesting the "busing" issue.
One man held him up while another guy essentially stabbed him with the US flag.
For years I thought it had to be staged but it was a real picture. I won't post it here but easy to look up.
Worth noting that this ugly incident took place in one of the more progressive Northern states.
Apparently the guy holding the flag was trying to hit the lawyer with the flag pole, but in the photo it looks like he's trying to spear him. It also appears that there's a man holding the lawyer in place for the man holding the flag to attack him, but he actually helped pick up the attorney after he was knocked down. Things aren't always what they seem. It turned out the that man with the flag was a teenager who had serious mental problems and allegedly killed his brother's girlfriend.
