Apparently Stonewall Jacksons flag and other artifacts were destroyed by rioters.

I’ve seen articles where there was fire damage to the exterior of the building but the report of the loss of Jackson’s flag are only a rumor. Hope it’s safe.

Yup, its gone. Inside of the building was burned. What didn't get the torch, got broken and destroyed.
No better than the Taliban.

Hello,
I haven't found any reliable source on this. There did seem to be a Facebook entry for it but it has been pulled from Facebook so I couldn't see it. It is my guess that it was not true and only fake news.

Its Confederate so the news guys don't care about it. If it was MLK related it would be all over the news.

The flag is not the story that got picked up, but the damage to the building that housed it did. Here are two examples:
