[noise] my name is i am originally from honduras. my father is a citizen. my wife is a citizen. my son has been born here. my mom is a legal resident. i ve been here for 20 years. so, what is the point of ice having me here for? my name is andrea [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language] covid-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. all of italy, a country of 60 million
my name is tommy daras, and we are at edisto river creamery. big old quarter pounders. when i bought the creamery, i thought it was a beautiful park. i said, what s not to like? what kind of ice cream do you want, honey? enjoy, baby. thank you. if i could rewind this whole situation i would not have come to south carolina in the first place. i sell ice cream cones in a park. here i am in the middle of this crap.
the confederate flying the flag flies atop this poll right next to the sign of the edisto river creamery. but the flag is not owned by this ice cream parlor. the sons of confederate veterans on this tiny piece of property where the flag stands. that flag is not mine. it s a piece of property that the confederate veteran s own. initially, he s accepted the flag, but that change in the aftermath of the 2015 shirt shooting. nine people have been killed inside an african american church. dylan is under arrest. a photo of him posing with a confederate flag. after the charleston shooting, the confederate veterans came down with a flag
personally, but we ll deal with it. a confederate flag flying beside a south carolina ice cream parlor is igniting new concerns. the creamery received this racially-charged letter. his business has been vandalized multiple times. his employees have been harassed, and a riot nearly started outside his shop. keep that flag flying. this peg is where their property line is, and that peg there, when you stand out here for a moment, they re hollering, take it down or leave it alone or, you know, f.u.
