Antifa denied rumors that it will protest in Gettysburg on Saturday, according to a Thursday email from Central PA Antifa.
The political activist group called rumors that their members would be appearing in Gettysburg on the anniversary of the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg to protest President Donald Trump and Confederate monuments "a complete fabrication," the email stated.
"No antifa groups have planned a rally there that day," the email said.

Any information from FReepers attending Gettysburg today???
Maybe we can initiate a civil war battle with them, but using live ammo.
Works for me.....Any way to get rid on those vermin...
the opening battle of Civil War Two
If they do show, ammo isn’t even needed. A ring bayonet on an 1861 Springfield is a fearsome weapon.
I don’t know who’s playing whom, here. This has happened before, in Texas with the Sam Houston monument. If somebody’s getting wind that Antifa actually plans to do this and then ginning up massive presence that ends up deterring them, good. If Antifa is starting rumors trying to make patriotic Americans look stupid, well, in my perception they’re not succeeding but I don’t like it. So, which is it?
Oh, yeah. I don't think anyone will bet on the guys with the bike locks.
I have no idea...
If they do show up and do as the rumor suggested, I hope they get their asses kicked...HARD!!!
my bet is that they couldn’t get anyone to show up, so they are now denying they intended to show up.
I truly think this would have been met with violence.
You pull out a bayonet, on the end of a rifle, and the antifa cry-bully sissies will literally wet their pampers, and run into the open arms of the socialist-democrats begging to make all of the bad people go away.
You could be right...
But a lot of those young college kids are nothing but unthinking followers...
Violence is the only language they understand.
Visiting Gettysburg from California yesterday. No sign of ramped up police presence. My son and I had the honor of helping put out flags at the cemetery for the 154 th anniversary

Pretty sure the alt right are trolling the Antifa by claiming they are going to piss all over beloved national figure monuments. So, I think it’s a good thing. Like, if they go after Sam Houston, who was not a confederate but did own slaves (I think), then they’d have to go after the name of the city, which would be interesting.
That is an honor...
I hope your visit is great and have a safe trip...
Says Sam Houston opposed slavery and as governor said Texas should not leave the union over slavery.
