Militias and KKK defend Gettysburg

[zipman]

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 assault 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.

It was fake. The stories about antifa were fake.

Just like the stories about Walmarts in Texas being used as FEMA holding centers for political prisoners under Obama. All fake.

These stories started with the same idiots who voted for the con artist. Because they're uneducated, they believed them.

Oh, and at least one of these uneducated deplorables shot himself in the leg, then the gun went off a second time when police were trying to clear and secure it. It was a shit gun used carried by a shit person. So appropriate.

I can think of no better tribute to the Confederate army.


BTW, has anyone seen JBJ today?

Now THAT was a Dumbass thing to say.

If the South had half the manufacturing plants and access to a quarter of the resources the North did, the American flag might well look different today.

In other words, if the South had been anywhere near as resourceful and successful as the North, they might be running things now. Duh.

yes, if they hadn't been such a backwards, conservative shithole they might not have failed so miserably at being a country.

And here we are, one hundred and fifty years later, and the south is STILL in the same place as they were then. Getting supported by federal tax money and then STILL complaining about it.

Come on dude. That's like arguing if I were Lebron James I'd be Lebron James.

USA Today seems to think it's true.

Maybe they just needed more government hand-outs?

Actually they needed more and better Weapons and food and supplies.

They should've considered their logistical shortfalls before committing treason against the USA.

OH. You mean like we all did "Treason" against England"...

I am not a fan of the way monuments were removed in the dead of night, but why the hell were they put up in the first place? Winners set the policy, not losers. The federal government should have smacked down all municiplaities from the beginning, no monuments commemorating treasonous losers.

Brave men whom served their country. Several were reckoned to be among the BEST Military men west Point ever turned out.

I had several relatives KIA in that war...

Note: The county I live in was one of several in Texas that voted NOT to seceded from the Union.

Didn't the Texas legislature vote to secede again last week?

And the "BEST Military men West Point ever turned out" got their collective asses kicked by General Ulysses S. Grant, who purportedly was drunk most of the war.

If the South had real men fighting perhaps they could have won too, but sadly the were all too drunk to fight.

There will be a time when people will be asked to prove that a war took place with a "prove it" stuck on it.

I can hear it now...made up war. where are the statues?

Monuments?

Plaques?

Parks?

and history books descriptions?

"Oh they were politically incorrect so we destroyed them."

So, it didn't happen! You can't prove it! So all you have is a bunch of fake news articles in books and fake pictures ancient tombstones! Probably nothing under them.
