I actually agree here, G. The point was to resign the flag from public lands that serve an official government function and to its proper place in history and museums. It was not to go on what is looking more and more like a pandering-fest on the part of private businesses wanting to appear progressive. It is cheap and really disrespectful, IMO, to the victims of the shooting. And, I would not be surprised at all if the rush to look good on the part of these businesses--though, the choice to sell or not sell merch containing the flag is up to them--is probably what set off the moron who lit up a black church in Charlotte today.
