Another police officer shot and killed

[capt278]

Were the two of you worried about lighting up the White House over the past five decades, or just recently?

 

Since this is the first WH that has done it that I know, what would I have to complain about?

[TheDeuce]

I know, your point was why didn't they complain before...well no one complained over the past 5 decades because no presidence of coloring the White House had been set. Once it was lit up for one or two things this year, then why not this too?

 

So basically, people are looking for things to be mad about.

[TheDeuce]

Just recently when we started doing it for musicians and political beliefs. I personally think we should show respect for murdered police but that's just my opinion.

 

That's how you want to show them respect?

People looking for things to be mad about pretty much defines our society over the past 5 years.

Agreed. And probably longer than that.

I don't think the White House should be lit up for anything. I don't think the flag should be flown at half-staff every other day.

I guess it's one of many ways we can, are you not for us showing them every inch of respect possible, meaning why should we limit it? Because certain interest groups won't care for it?

I don't think the White House should ever be lit up for anything.

 

Since it has been lit up for the death of a Pop Star and for Gay Rights, why not light it up in Blue for massacred Police Officers?

 

Maybe also...

Can we light it up in Green every time a Army Soldier dies?

Can we light it up in Tan every time a Marine dies?

Will it be lit up in Red if Jordan dies?

Why wasn't it lit in a special way for Ali's death?

Maybe light it up in Orange and Green if the Hurricanes win the National Title this year?

 

It should have never been lit in any color but since it was, why stop with Prince?

 

It was never lit up for Prince nor Whitney Houston (as others have falsely claimed).

[HHSHOG62]

That's how you want to show them respect?

 

It is one way to do so. Isn't that why they lit it up when Prince died?

[HHSHOG62]

I stand corrected.

No. I'm not for lighting up a building every time a service man/woman loses their life in the line of duty. I'm not for lowering the flag to half mast every time either. There are plenty of ways to show respect without doing that every single time. That doesn't diminish the tragedies or lessen their importance. By doing it all the time, it would cheapen it, IMO.

 

Nobody cared about doing it for everything until this Presidency. Like I said, people are looking for reasons to be mad.

Has the White House been lit up with colors for a specific event before this presidency? I honestly don't know.

I don't know either. I don't even know what events it has been lit up for during this one. Clyde already dismissed the two most recent.

Maybe or maybe they honestly think the White House should have been lit in Blue.

It was lit up for Breast Cancer Awareness in 2013, and then for the whole gay rights thing whenever that was. Other than that, I cant find any other instance, which would then explain why people haven't brought it up until this presidency.
