When officials asked Blitch why he climbed the fence, he told deputies β€œhe did not agree with the confederate flag and wanted to lower it.”

He also told Spartanburg County deputies he drove from Atlanta to lower the flag and then he would drive back to Atlanta.

Something I've oft fantasized about, too bad he didn't succeed! Next time plan better, perhaps a small flame attachment on a drone would set the flag ablaze without you having to get near enough to get caught?

Then he'd be facing felony arson charges.
