Walmart may have to add ‘ISIS Flags’ on the list of banned merchandise in their stores.
Walmart did the right thing in the wake of the Charleston terrorist attacks and banned all Confederate Flag bearing merchandise. Staying consistent with that ban, one Louisiana man’s request for a Confederate Flag cake was outrightly denied, but his ISIS Flag cake request was granted.
A man in Louisiana is asking for an explanation from Walmart after his request for a Confederate flag cake at one of its bakeries was rejected, but a design with the ISIS flag was accepted.
Chuck Netzhammer said he ordered the image of the Confederate flag on a cake with the words, “Heritage Not Hate,” on Thursday at a Walmart in Slidell, Louisiana. But the bakery denied his request, he said. At some point later, he ordered the image of the ISIS flag that represents the terrorist group.
“I went back yesterday and managed to get an ISIS battleflag printed. ISIS happens to be somebody who we’re fighting against right now who are killing our men and boys overseas and are beheading Christians,” Netzhammer said.
To be fair, it was a bad oversight by the retailer and they’ve since apologized but yikes.
Ultimately two wrongs don’t make a right and it’s just as wrong to peddle Confederate merchandise as it is ISIS, so Chuck in the video is still in the wrong.
