And once again...they fall for a hoax

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.

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.

Again? Once again?
Enemies of America destroy public property incessantly, threaten to destroy more and those who react are fools?
You’re just another liar.

Buy a fag flag and burn it at a gay bar...watch the leftists heads spin and explode

Bank it, fools are fooling nobody

“be giving away free small flags to children to safely throw into the fire.”

That's hilarious!!

And these uneducated tRumplings fall for it. SMH.

What is so unbelievable about democrats burning flags? Furthermore, i have yet to see proof that this was a hoax. The fact that no one showed up to his flag burning party is irrelevant.

It is not unbelievable. The bastards have burnt cities to the ground.

Lol, a couple of dumpster fires and a Wendy's does not equal "burned whole cities down".

 

[Uncensored2008]

Eh. It ended up being a good training mission for what's to come then. All is good.

AND NOTICE, no rioting, no looting, no rapes, and no arson.

BIG Contrast to democrats getting together.

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?

I don’t know who claimed that, but you have been misinformed.

The media that you consistently whore to told me that.

Link. Or admit you whore your rightwing masters.

Men don't whore Coyote. But both men and women can follow what takes place on in the forum they moderate.

The far left posters Lyistrata and Dragonlady at minimum believe (or believed) that Antifa does not exist. You should convince them Antifa exists, once all are convinced, then we can move on to plan how to eliminate the terrorists.

You seem proud of the hoax. Good for you. i guess invoking fear and hatred is a good thing?

The Cancel culture is a losing issue for your team. America is a great Nation. The best place on Earth. No society created by men will ever be perfect, but if you can point to anything better i would love to hear about it.

Those folks who are defending our shared culture and history are doing the right thing. Our history should not be erased by anyone.

Nope not proud of it at all, dismayed really.

Did you read this part of my OP or just jump to conclusions? People are intent on ignoring the more serious points underlying this and the fact this is not the only example of successful hoaxes. This one was just kind of funny. It could just as easily not been.

From my OP:

Lol, you're completely brainwashed and have no clue it's even happened to you.

You guys STILL cant produce evidence that this was a hoax? Why does this thread even exist in the current events section? I could make a thread that suggests it was Santa Claus and it would be just as useful.

The mayor of Minneapolis is asking the Federal government for 500,000,000 million dollars to repair damage to his city that he allowed. That's a mighty big dumpster fire idiot.

 

[OldLady]

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.

Gettysburg filled with guns, political rhetoric on July 4th, but no Antifa or violence

A small contingent of armed protesters showed up in Gettysburg but the predicted Antifa invasion never happened.

“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.”

I haven't seen the actual posts by the supposed Antifa organizers, but it really sounds more like a piece for The Onion. Isn't face painting a dead giveaway? Murdering Trump supporters and white people in the suburbs? C'mon.

Yes they do. Who can forget the gun nuts blowing up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City? They destroyed much more than property.

They are a small non organized group of radicals that you on the right have built up into something more. And you have people believing it so strongly they get swallowed by these hoaxes.

I am against burning the American flag. I don't like it one bit... but it is a freedom of speech & expression, and I love those just as much if not more. What is sad and dangerous is just how easy it is to make a post like this and to have so many people to show up armed to the gills despite the fact that there was no immediate threat posed to any individual. They then become the threat. Don't tell me it is their right to bear arms, because it absolutely is, but it is their INTENT that is the difference. Even if burning the flag was illegal, it is NOT a capital offense, and it certainly shouldn't be handled by militant citizens. All it is going to take is one idiot to set off a firework, or one scared fool to fire the first shot on accident, and you will have a domino effect that kills and injures many.

EXACTLY! I think you are the only one to get the point here. Anonymous people, on the internet exploiting our fears and divisions. Is it planking or is there something more serious behind it?

And conservatives have an abundance of fears to exploit – the antifa myth among them.

 

[Godboy]

President Biden will fix everything.

He doesnt even know what year it is.

 

[Uncensored2008]

..we can fly we want....and burn any flag we want.

Ironically the same people defending The right to fly a confederate flag have a complete meltdown When someone flies Mexican flag

BULL FUCKING SHIT.

Burn a rainbow flag that you bought and you WILL go to prison. Burn a BLM Klan flag and you'll be murdered.

One of the most prominent things ANTIFA does is cover their face... so yeah you would think a post like this that says they will be face painting to identify who they are should be a dead giveaway it was a hoax. But then again, what Trump supporters know the difference between a REAL hoax and something real?
