$500K ‘Rager’ Being Thrown for UNC Frat Boys Who Guarded Flag
The “rager” months in the making is set to take place Monday night—only some of the college students the party’s being thrown for don’t want it.
Dubbed “Flagstock,” the event is being staged for the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill students who protected the American flag from being pulled down and touching the ground during a pro-Palestinian protest in April.
It was a group of roughly two dozen UNC fraternity members who guarded the flag, after the protestors had already taken it down once before. The image of them holding it up amidst the charged crowd that surrounded quickly went viral. The Trump campaign used the footage in videos. Several of the members spoke at July’s Republican National Convention.
