Guns And KKK Members At Gettysburg Confederate Rally, But No Foes To Fight

[Lakhota]

The anti-fascists never came, but pro-Confederate protesters at the Civil War battlefield were still angry, and heavily armed.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. ― A few hundred armed militia group members, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Ku Klux Klaners, supporters of President Donald Trump, and other self-described patriots descended upon the Gettysburg battlefield Saturday to defend the site’s Confederate symbols from phantom activists with the violent far-left group Antifa.

Some carried semi-automatic rifles ― permitted in Pennsylvania ― as they peered out across the battlefield with binoculars, on the lookout for the black-clad, face-masked anti-fascists, anarchists and socialists they said they had heard were traveling to the national park to dishonor Confederate graves, monuments and flags.

Although many came expecting violence ― even after Antifa made it clear its adherents never planned to show up ― the only bloodshed came when a lone militia group member accidentally shot himself in the leg.

This seems like a sad and hateful way to celebrate Independence Day. What do you think...?

Is there any other way for a confederate to celebrate their Independence?

I can think of several. BTW, the Civil War had nothing to do with Independence Day.

The joke is that the dumb yokel confederates HAVE no Independence Day. Thus the sadness and hate.

"Some carried semi-auto rifles" at a Gettysburg parade but a radicalized angry left wing middle aged democrat shot a republican congressman and four others barely a month ago, while they were practicing for a baseball game, and violated half a dozen gun laws as well as five counts of attempted murder. Was he aided by other radicalized angry incoherent left wingers while he was stalking republicans? Apparently the FBI isn't interested.

 

[THAI EXPAT]

This is just the beginning folks!

Probably not, since you'd have to be completely braindead to fail at getting the weaponry he had in Virginia. Now back to the topic, and no more derailing. M'kay?

You think confederate insurgents should murder Americans?

 

[Avatar4321]

This is just the beginning folks!

So these guys are the tyrants?

And a black lives matter sympathizer shot and murdered 5 police officers and wounded 9 others.....he wasn't a Republican......

The ones actually killing people are the left wingers......notice.....no fight broke out here because the left wingers didn't show.....

All because the Union was foolish and didn't finish the job 160 years ago. Sad confederate sympathizers still bitterly clinging on.

Yeah....I have no sympathy with people who romanticize democrat slave owners....I don't think you should tear down flags and monuments......but if they are left up they should be in talked about in the right context, how the democrats went to war to keep blacks as slaves....

 

[BlackFlag]

Yeah....I have no sympathy with people who romanticize democrat slave owners....

Then why do you keep voting for people who do that?

You got any credible new source for the claim of Klan members and Trump supporters working together or are you just an asshole?

Confederates got their asses kicked at Gettsburg

Those Confederates were brave men, did you read about Pickett's charge?

Only a fool would impugn the bravery and skill of the Confederate soldier. They lost because of the fact that they were outnumbered 3-1 and had a small fraction of the wealth of the North. And they very nearly won regardless. If the resources had been equal, the army of the Potomac would have been annihilated.

These people were probably not ku klux klanners as this propoganda article suggests. They were proud Americans going to face down the communist scum as out forefathers did during the cold war.

So are these the guys who blame slavery on the Democrats?

 

[BlackFlag]

The sick losers even pledged their allegiance to the Confederacy over the U.S. Where's a good drone strike when you need one?
