About 30 trucks, cars and motorcycles paraded from Wal-Mart on Northside Drive to the Bulloch County Courthouse Sunday afternoon after a brief rally in support of the Confederate battle flag. Responding to a call to rally on social media, about 75 people from as far away as Dublin showed up at Statesboro's Wal-Mart Supercenter at 3 p.m. Sunday, with Confederate flags waving, protesting Wal-Mart's decision to pull Confederate merchandise from its shelves across the nation. Wal-Mart, Sears, Amazon, eBay and other companies have pulled Confederate-themed items in response to a recent resurrection of the nationwide debate between those who consider the flag a symbol of "heritage, not hate" and those who feel the flag is a reminder of slavery and racially motivated actions of hate groups who adopted the flag as their own.
