“Dear PoPville,
Similar to the issue with Nellie’s earlier this year, I noticed that Rebellion on 18th and S Street, NW is also flying a Blue Lives Matter flag. Was it perhaps to encourage cops to show up during the recent National Police Week?”
Ed. Note: After flying a Blues Lives Matter flag in late March, Nellie’s wrote (in part):
“We now understand that flying this flag — at this point in time, in particular — was at best tone deaf, and at worst offensive. We sincerely apologize to our customers and our neighbors for this egregious mistake, and want to assure you that this flag will never fly at Nellie’s again. What it represents to you is not what we want to represent, or what we want our bar to be.”
