A black couple in Georgia said they were in"disbelief" when a man responding to their Facebook post looking for someone to repair the brakes on a golf cart pulled up in a truck carrying a large Confederate flag.
"My son immediately said that he was gonna leave because he knew nothing good was gonna come of it," he said. The Browns' doorbell camera captured the interaction between the couple and the man identified as Mike as they conversed outside the couple's home. Allison Brown told ABC News that she'd handled the situation the way she did because she"wanted to set a good example" for her sons.
"Nor did I need his business if that's how he wanted to conduct himself," she said."Had he not had the flag on his truck and I had not known, I would've allowed him to do the work as he needed -- and probably would have hired him for other jobs." They couple told ABC News that they had held onto the video for their own safety, in case they needed to turn it over to police.
