And once again...they fall for a hoax

Did you, or the little Goebbels of the America hating Washington Post have some sort of point, other than that you hate America?
One post showed a poster that advertised a flag-burning, complete with Antifa members doing face painting, of all things. Another post suggested that 30,000 members of Antifa were planning to invade Gettysburg and its suburbs to kill white people and Trump supporters. That post also suggested that Antifa members had been setting off fireworks for weeks leading up to the holiday to inure people to the sound of gunfire so they wouldn’t call the police when Antifa began executing white people.


Both things turned out to be, as the president of the United States would say, fake news.

“Obviously, it was all made up,” said Kurt Andresen, a physics professor at Gettysburg College who visited the battlefield Sunday wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt. “(The flag-burning event) was made up by a right-wing group to try to get a rise out of people. They got what they wanted.”

And?

It's not like the Brown Shirts of ANTIFA and the BLM Klan don't do these things on a daily basis.
 
At least this time, I hope they took walk around the battlefield and actually learned some history.

But what is worrisome is that anonymous people seem intent on creating and provoking potentially lethal confrontations among groups and exploiting if not widening divisions.

who are these people?

GETTYSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK, PA. — For weeks, a mysterious figure on social media talked up plans for antifa protesters to converge on this historical site on Independence Day to burn American flags, an event that seemed at times to border on the farcical.

“Let’s get together and burn flags in protest of thugs and animals in blue,” the anonymous person behind a Facebook page called Left Behind USA wrote in mid-June. There would be antifa face paint, the person wrote, and organizers would “be giving away free small flags to children to safely throw into the fire.”


As word spread, self-proclaimed militias, bikers, skinheads and far-right groups from outside the state issued a call to action, pledging in online videos and posts to come to Gettysburg to protect the Civil War monuments and the nation’s flag from desecration. Some said they would bring firearms and use force if necessary.

On Saturday afternoon, in the hours before the flag burning was to start, they flooded in by the hundreds — heavily armed and unaware, it seemed, that the mysterious Internet poster was not who the person claimed to be.

The episode at Gettysburg is a stark illustration of how shadowy figures on social media have stoked fears about the protests against racial injustice and excessive police force that have swept across the nation since the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25.

Armed vigilantes lined the streets of small Idaho towns last month after false claims circulated online about antifa, a loose collection of activists who oppose fascism and have sometimes embraced property damage and violent protest in recent years. Similar hoaxes have befallen towns in New Jersey, South Dakota and Michigan in recent weeks.
Sure, like NOBODY from lib la la land is burning US flags and tearing down statues in America

I‘m glad it was a hoax
Here is a hoax from just last night in Baltimore.

You gotta admit that they are getting awfully good with their fiendish hoax special effects because that pic really fooled me!!

How is this a hoax? Just because an ANTIFA scumbags event failed, what does that prove?

It was disinformation, the democrat troops didn't show. But it's not like the democrats had a major military victory elsewhere.

I'm just not sure the point Coyote is attempting to make? Does she think this is some big victory for the revolution or something?

Looks to me like the Brown Shirts learned Americans would be their and stayed in their basements.

If he wasnt ANTIFA, then who was he? Whats his name and what are his "true" political beliefs?

Unknown at this time, I think....his claims and purported identification of himself And his group were shown to be fraudulent. Fascinating bit of digging.

There is no BLM klan and they don't do it every day.
 
I am against burning the American flag. I don't like it one bit... but it is a freedom of speech & expression
Doesent that apply to the Confederate flag also?
Fuck no. The confederacy was not America and that flag is the flag of a foreign enemy defeated by the United States.


Said the academic too stupid to understand he just validated the legality of the Secession.

The point isn’t Dem or Pub. Believe it or not there is a world beyond two political parties.

You have someone exploiting divisions in such a skillful way, he gets an entire group to go to a fake meet up.

When will this tactic actually work and lead to unintended violence beyond shooting oneself in the leg?
 
Out of curiosity, did you actually read the entire article? It is interesting and exposes the fakery behind it.

It's behind a pay wall and nothing in this fucking world would get me to contribute to the Communist pile of shit anti-American little Goebbels, the filthy demagogues of the vile hate publication of WaPo.

Turn off an ad blocker? Not a fucking chance, it would allow these vermin to monetize.

It does on your guys. YOu eat this shit up without question ever time. Often with real people names and real people hurt, with their lives ruined.


Here? Some of us showed up and nothing happened.
 
Yes, I'm all for allowing people to burn the confederate flag. What's your point?

that flying the Confederate flag is freedom of expression too

You can fly the confederate flag all you want. Sadly it seems you don't understand the separation of a private person and a government entity. If the PEOPLE who are represented by the government do not want the government that represents them to fly a flag that is offensive to them, it is not the same as some guy flying it in his front yard.

What's your point again?

No harm was done because only one side believed the scam. Again.
Wow! Your brilliance is exceeded only by the fact that you know all these things only after the fact!
So impressive.

I guess the enlightened folks on the left get their jollies by sending out false alerts
which patriot groups react to.

What a constructive use of their energies and time. Crying wolf sounds like the summit of you folk's usefulness.

Maybe he is just a very clever troll....this part is sort of funny. They fell for the same hoax three years ago.

A Facebook page called Central PA Antifa quickly denounced the event as fake, likening it to a hoax in Gettysburg three years ago.
In 2017, rumors of an antifa event at the national park prompted a large group of armed militia members to show up. They encountered no one from antifa, but one of the armed militia members accidentally shot himself in the leg with a revolver.

But wait... Antifa was not supposed to exist?
They don't exist in the fashion you tRumplings want and need them to.
