“It was guns and racism,” Flowers said, “The two unconfessed, unrepentant sins of our country.”
Flowers is the pastor of Providence Baptist Church on Daniel Island, a place better known for its rolling golf courses, staggering home values and pristine aesthetic than its gun crime.
“We don’t kill people (on Daniel Island),” he said. “But we sit back and we say nothing and we allow it to happen.” |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
