I didn't ever say I'd wear it. :) I just don't fear it. It's not really that big of a deal, and I've punched a white supremacists over his shirt before.

But they look sooooo good on my stiletto back-massage boots :(
Oh well. I never really use them anyway.

Unless they're docs you'll be alright.
Makes me sick how they earn those red laces though :( The show I watched on 'em, was heartbreaking. I don't blame Hyper for whalloping a white supremacist a good one. All my anger management would go right out the window and I'd have my fist in the mouth, and my Harley Davidson boots having a boot party on THEIR goddamn head. Then take the red laces and wrap it around their neck and drag em around on the floor.
:-o Amazing how much racists make me so god damn angry, THAT pisses me off, and frightens me a bit. Thankfully I've never come face to face with one of these creeps. Tho I've had thoughts of luring them in and having THEIR asses beat down for once.
I respect that this guy went and fought with his country, but that's about it.

Oh I know! I absolutely loathe that these people walk the planet actually deluding themselves into thinking they are right! I really hope that the red laces and the flag are a coincidental thing but the way the world is, its probably not so. Yeah, he fought for our country, but nothing says why he went and there are enough blood, guts, and glory boys in the service that I'm even hesitant to say I respect that.
However, unless he was waving that racist flag and making his ideas known (ie. calling the woman out on her tattoos in a racial manner) if those were the ideas he had, then that attack had nothing to do with race and it still makes her no better for stabbing a guy over a remark over her tattoos.

You showed restraint just punching. I'm pretty certain I'd go crazy white chick on someone like that, even though they're totally not worth it. It freaks me out how I'm as violent thinking, and not much better than they are, doing what I think I'd do. :| I don't even know how Ron reads those damn racist sites, I'd bash my computer in. I make it one page and I'm done.

Rebel flag, is just another label for the confederate flag, right?
[/quote]Actually, there were many rebel flags, but only [s]1[/s] 3 "official" confederate flags, none of which are actually the:
that we think of when we say confederate or rebel flag.
The flag above was never the confederate flag but rather it was the battle flag, and was the basis of more than 180 separate Confederate military battle flags.

What people have on their MySpaces does give a first impression of them. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it's not. We can only comment, speculate, etc on what we know, what has been reported, what we see on someone's MySpace or other places around the net.
Just wanted to add these few entries from his online memorial guest book.

Our family knows Adam's grandmother. When my son was diagnosed with leukemia, Adam sent him an encouraging letter from Fallujah, Iraq. It meant a lot to my son that Adam, who he never met, reached out to him. Adam's kindness toward a person he didn't even know was touching. Our family is saddened by this loss, and we are keeping his friends and family in our thoughts.

Rest Easy, Adam. You were one of the only ones in Atlanta I could talk politics with and walk away laughing w/out hard feelings. You were always really cool and calm whenever I hungout with you. Good memories will remain forever.
Wherever you are, your friends and family and all of us have you in high places in our hearts!
Keep watching over everyone like you have always been good at..
Much love,
Jylie

Adam. It's Hard to believe I spoke to you only hours earlier.You showed me that there was more to life thank the angry box I lived in. I will be forever touched by what you had done for me and my life. You will be forever on my mind and in my heart.

Sgt. Pearce, you were one of the greatest mentors I had in the Marines and one of my dearest friends. You help keep me alive and bring me home! I will miss you more than words can express. With love, Semper Fi

These are just a few of the entries on that one guestbook. It was filled with people saying how Adam had touched their life and some had changed because of him. There has been so much speculation due to the flag he had on his MySpace and the shoe laces in his boots that I thought this side was important to see too....
His MySpace page is now private.
It wasn't when I first read the article in the AJC.
Nothing in any of his pictures showed White Supremacist leanings. Just lots of doggies, tattoos, and motorcycles.
I found by researching online that some Marines lace their boots with parachute cord in the desert (withstands the elements better).
Some of them use 9 strand parachute cord and supposedly that only comes in the color red. Could it be something as simple as that?
http://www.combatreform2.com/boots.htmHowever, you do not need to constantly unlace your boots with the speed lace system to don/doff them, you just need to replace the cord with the matching color of 550 para cord to gain SERE applications. Today with the Army Combat Uniform we are wearing desert tan boots so TAN 550 para cord is needed.
RIP Adam

I'm sure that an army vet, a heavily tatted woman, and a murderer would not likely be found in upscale hotel bars in Tucker Georgia. So I'm guessing this went down in some dive bar.

Umm, excuse me...bigot much? I have radical hair, piercings, and tatts, I go where I want. I am not looking for trouble, nor do I want it and frankly I don't care what anyone thinks of me. I can GUARANTEE you I can hold my own in a dive or at the ritziest place you pick. I can fit in either place, just because you look a certain way does not mean you are not respectable or a lady.

Woman charged in Tucker bar brawl that killed Iraq War veteran
By KENT A. MILES
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Friday, May 22, 2009
A 29-year-old woman has been charged in the killing of a patron of a Tucker bar in a brawl over the weekend.
Stephanie Dewar Hill has been charged with murder and aggravated assault, DeKalb County Police spokeswoman Bettina Durant said Friday.
Hill is accused of stabbing to death Iraq War veteran Adam Pearce, an Iraq War veteran, and his roommate early Sunday at the Last Great Watering Hole on Hugh Howell Road.
She surrendered to police on Tuesday, Durant said. Hill is being held without bond in the DeKalb County Jail.
Durant said no other charges in the case are anticipated or pending against other people.
Witnesses said the fight began when a patron at the bar insulted the girlfriend of her son’s roommate.
The roommate, 32-year-old Dewayne Williams, was stabbed during the fight; he was treated and released from a local hospital.
Pearce’s funeral was held Wednesday in Snellville

Fuck you, asshole.
I'm a heavily tattooed woman and you can often find me in upscale bars. I can even afford to stay in hotels, live in europe, and have an MA! Way to make a completely offensive judgement. Not to mention the insinuation that every army vet has to be some dumb hick.

No, red isn't an authorized uniform color for laces. At least for the Marines. Anyway, I don't think there was massive skinhead evidence, just a possibility.

:lol:
Yeah, we already know you're glad he's dead.
I don't believe it was Mr. Pearces' tat that set off the fight. It was the tat of his room mates girlfriend. As for the rebel flag thing, you could say the US flag represented slavery as well since it flew over that evil institution for 89 years. The Battle flag of the Confederacy by contrast never flew over slavery, it flew over brave Americans who were standing up for what they believed to be right.
