VIDEO: Geno's Steaks removes Confederate flag decal
Geno's Steaks has taken down a Confederate flag-themed sticker after a resident complained.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A Confederate flag image has been removed from one of Philadelphia's famous cheesesteak shops.



The flag decal was on the side of a motorcycle at Geno's Steaks.



But the owner got rid of it after someone complained.



Critics say the Confederate image has been used as a symbol of racism and hate, including by suspected gunman Dylan Roof.



He is accused of killing 9 people at a historic black church in Charleston South Carolina last week.
