OCALA, Fla. — Thousands of people rode in motorcycles and trucks to attend a rally and Pride Ride Sunday in Ocala to show support for the Confederate flag.

The event was intended as a peaceful rally in support of the Confederate flag, but gunshots rang out nearby and now police are investigating.

No one was hurt, but police said at least six shots were fired from an apartment complex near the Livestock Pavilion where the 17-mile ride started.

Lying should be a misdemeanor at least.

“Residents of the predominately African-American neighborhood dispute that the gunfire came from their complex. They said they were being harassed by the demonstrators and the shots came from people participating in the Pride Ride.”

OMG.

This is a classic.

In 1994, ferals took shots at one of my biker friends who was standing around in range of the projects, the cops got called and *we* all got shaken down.

*Of course* the scary bikers did it, not one of the protected species. /s

They let us go after not finding *anything* but it was still 2 hours of Hell, staring into the barrel of a Mossberg.

Sheesh.

Maybe an honest witness from the hood will come forward and clear up the misunderstanding.

Ocala is my home town - attended a great George Wallace speech there (well, in Oklawaha) in the '70s.

The only time we'd go into the black section was to buy BBQd goat or spare ribs, (55-gallon drum grills in their front yards) - man, that was livin'.

I propose Marion County residents put Earl Arnett in a museum...it’s called Chambrel Nursing Home.

H/T to our FRiend 2ndDivisionVet for the post.

I am embarrassed that I didn't get to this until this morning - being it's close in mileage.

Please note Alice in Wonderland's post at #5, with an additional page.

People are still clinging desperately to their normalcy bias, thinking there is nothing bad coming out of the urban kraals - but the truth is plain to see.

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”

Jan Christiaan Smuts was a hero to me & he was depicted to us in school as a great statesman. During the Boer War, American opinion was overwhelmingly on their side.

How crazy things have gone since then.

According to history, the Jews in both Germany in the 30s and in Eastern Europe in the early 40s also refused to face reality and did everything in their power to convince themselves that it was only a passing phase and things would soon return to normal. They were no different than those who refuse to face reality today and those who refuse to face reality will suffer the same fate that the Jews did. Merely because one denies reality does not mean that reality does not exist.

The Jews relied on the government to protect them and refused to defend themselves. My neighbor when I was growing up fled Austria on skis after seeing the hand writing on the wall. Once the mob mentality kicked in, they had to flee all across a hostile Europe trying to get to the US. Ultimately, the “Cooper’s” made it to the US before the war ended.

They won’t.

See #5 by Alice in wonderland.

Article says cops couldn’t pursue the investigation further because nobody would talk or give video evidence.

Thank you for sharing that. I have had a number of people on this forum share their, their families’, or someone they know experiences from those days. I appreciate and learn from all of them.

When it starts, we will be on our own. I take that back, we are on our own. It has already started. The acts will get more open and overt. The call to kill all Whites will soon be acted upon and law enforcement will mostly look the other way.
