Tucker Dorsey, an Alabama county official, has refused to lower his county's flag in memory of the victims of the Orlando shooting, despite directives to do so from the Alabama governor and President Barack Obama. Dorsey, the commissioner of Baldwin County, took to Facebook to explain his decision on Friday, saying he didn't consider the attack in Orlando a "valid circumstance" to lower the flag to half-staff. "When the flag is at half-staff, our country's head is figuratively held low, and quite frankly, I am not willing to hang my head down because of a terrorist attack against our people and our allies," he wrote.
