July 4 crowds ignore call to boycott Georgia park over Confederate flag
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (Reuters) - Fourth of July holidaymakers ignored a call to boycott Georgia's Stone Mountain Park, known as the "Confederate Rushmore," over its display of the contentious Confederate flag.
Hundreds of people had staked out spots at the 3,200-acre (1,295-hectare) privately run park by noon on Saturday for nighttime laser and fireworks shows. They shrugged off heavy rain on the park's busiest day of the year as well as the boycott call.
Democratic state Representative LaDawn Blackett Jones this week urged people to stay away from the park 10 miles (16 km) east of Atlanta because it flies three flags of the pro-slavery Confederacy alongside the U.S. and Georgia state flags.
Who the hell listens to a person named "Ladawn Blackett Jones" ?

I've been there quite a few times when I would visit my Mom in Georgia. The place is packed every weekend. The Laser light show is awesome. No boycott will ever shut that place down.
I suppose some stupid liberal will want General Lee scraped off the side of the mountain next.
