And once again...they fall for a hoax

[Norman]

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 is going on in the forum they moderate.

After Nadler Claims Antifa Doesn't Exist

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2020/06/26/after-nadler-claims-antifa-doesnt-exist-republicans-give-details-about-the-violent-group-n2571402 During a speech on the House floor Thursday afternoon, Democratic Congressman and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler claimed...

Police Confirming: ANTIFA Does Not Exist! (Historians Report WWII An Actual 20th Century Event!)

So widely used is the ANTIFA Terrorist concept by the widely known, completed Disconnected, Trump Administration: That it even finds itself being used as some nature of threat on this very same message board of the Truth(?)! Actually it is probably more common on Facebook pages, and in Twitter...

The Greatest Trick The Right Has Pulled Is Convincing The World Antifa Exists

"The rumors followed what has become a nationwide pattern of unfounded speculation about roaming bands of “antifa” — short for antifascist — destroying towns under the pretext of Black Lives Matter protests. The whispers frequently center on “busloads” of outside infiltrators and often inspire...

www.usmessageboard.com

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

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.

They are anti-American terrorists, Take them seriously... or do you want to see you like seeing your house of fire? Better be safe than sorry...

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?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

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.

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.

What makes you think ANTIFA is a myth? I mean, how epicly dumb do you have to be to even make such a statement?

 

[Crepitus]

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.

Ok, now that I've had fun poking the tRumplings I'm gonna comment on the real point of the OP:

This worries me quite a bit because it's the kinda thing foreign agents would do. It deepens the divide, throws fuel on the fire, and just makes for that much more strife


Where is the FBI? Shouldn't they be investigating who is doing this crap? Wouldn't it qualify as a cybercrime?

And certain people need to wise up. There are some obvious clues that this was never real. The part about providing child sized flags for kids to safely burn is the most obvious, but the whole thing seems written specifically to get the reaction from the tRumplings, not encourage liberals to come demonstrate, and that should be a dead giveaway to anyone with a functioning brain. (No offense to our tRumpling friends).

I‘m glad it was a hoax

Here is a hoax from just last night in Baltimore.

Yeah, they are, aren’t they? DC, July 4, yesterday. This is a pretty good hoax, got to say...

..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.

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!!

Yeah, they are, aren’t they? DC, July 4, yesterday. This is a pretty good hoax, got to say...

Oops...

Maybe a new thread to correct the misinformation? What I see there is terrorists burning American flag.

Oops. I had no idea that was in Gettysburg. Do you need a lesson in Geography?

Responsible Americans are rather safe than sorry.

Well acted.

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.”

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.

Ok, now that I've had fun poking the tRumplings I'm gonna comment on the real point of the OP:

This worries me quite a bit because it's the kinda thing foreign agents would do. It deepens the divide, throws fuel on the fire, and just makes for that much more strife


Where is the FBI? Shouldn't they be investigating who is doing this crap? Wouldn't it qualify as a cybercrime?

And certain people need to wise up. There are some obvious clues that this was never real. The part about providing child sized flags for kids to safely burn is the most obvious, but the whole thing seems written specifically to get the reaction from the tRumplings, not encourage liberals to come demonstrate, and that should be a dead giveaway to anyone with a functioning brain. (No offense to our tRumpling friends).

Exactly...but not even just foreign agents but anyone intent on creating chaos.

And it is happening more and more.

Thanks for being one of the very few actually willing to discuss this.
