[Magdalen] Please Pray - Shooting in Charleston, SC church

Just looked again - it's not the Vierkleur, it's the old RSA flag, that one
that was done away with in 1994. And worse still, the old Rhodesian flag
underneath it. The one I grew up with.

"Daddy went to fight for the Green and White"...I feel sick. Will this
particular evil never end?
