It’s not just the white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan seeing surging membership as the S.C. General Assembly prepares to take up the removal of the Confederate flag from the grounds of the S.C. State House.
Law enforcement sources tell FITS an equally ominous trend is elevated black gang activity – which is being exploited by militant black groups in an effort to counter the pro-flag movement.
These sources tell us rival gang leaders are putting aside past differences – uniting and mobilizing in anticipation of upcoming pro-flag rallies being held at the State House. In fact they’re reportedly working in concert with black nationalist organizations in an effort to respond to these rallies.
Yeah … what could possibly go wrong here?
South Carolina’s state capital is no stranger to gang violence. In fact this website has repeatedly called out this violence … as well as the liberal judges whose leniency has enabled it.
Of course we’ve also called for the flag to come down. Now. And we’ve provided some extensive historical context as to why we believe it should come down (here and here).
Beyond self-evident reasons …
South Carolina lawmakers have overwhelmingly agreed to revisit the flag issue in the aftermath of a horrific, racially motivated church shooting in Charleston, S.C. There, nine parishioners at Mother Emanuel AME Church – including the church’s pastor S.C. Senator Clementa Pinckney – were gunned down by 21-year-old white supremacist Dylann Storm Roof, who has confessed to the crime and indicated his intention in carrying out was to start a “race war.”
Our hope? That Roof does not get his wish. That common humanity prevails.
But we’re not going to lie … the wave of unity that washed over the Palmetto State in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy seems to be giving way to some disturbing polarization (including alleged threats against lawmakers and robo-calls attacking flag opponents).
Let’s hope cooler heads … and common humanity … prevail.
Yes and I’m sure the “stand down” order comes from the very top this time
I feel real bad about those poor lads - what with their advanced arthritis and all (looks painful ;’)
Reading this, the thought occurs to me, this confederate flag thing is a democrat problem. The democrats are responsible for all of this. Non-democrats should stay out completely out of this, and the response from Republicans holding high office as well as the registered independent, Libertarian, Republican and even socialist voters, should be that this is 150-plus year old democrat problem; they should own it and deal with it. I have no sympathy for those who want to create a fight over this or support this flag. Granted the confederacy stood for more than just slavery, but slavery is what it is remembered for. Take the blasted thing down, forget it, and let it go into the dustbin of history.
you got a tenth of a percent trying to make news. And the MSM trying to provoke it.
They won’t stop pushing. That’s why this keeps escalating
If SC had a real Governor, we could be confident any high level stand down orders would be met with a single finger salute. But they have a turncoat in the Governor’s chair, and that alone will compound the problem.
South Carolinians are NOT going to be pushed around like others farther north have done. They aim to defend what is rightfully theirs, which is, a symbol of their southern pride, private property, and the right to live a peaceable life.
I personally think these gang bangers are venturing into waters they’ll regret. It won’t be pretty.

The mayor says they all deserved to die. “What I want to do it so instill fear,” he told reporters in February. “If you are doing an illegal activity in my city, if you are a criminal or part of a syndicate that preys on the innocent people of the city, for as long as I am the mayor, you are a legitimate target of assassination.” Duterte, says the Philippine Daily Enquirer, rules over a city “with the highest number of gangland-style killings in the country.”

It’s also easy to cover.
“They” want a race war. I guess they will get it.
Blacks are especially desperate today; with limited understanding of the global pressures on our economy, they are looking at seven years of the token president’s failures and realizing nothing is getting better for them - in fact, things are MUCH worse now. They’ll always need a scapegoat for their low literacy and employability, and it will always come back to “white devils”...
I admire the fire in your belly, but South Carolina politicians from the Governor on down will comply with directives issued by BMW, Boeing, Fluor, and now Volvo. The golden rule you know: them who has the gold rules.
You know we are living in weird times when Charlie Manson is looking like he might be a prophet.
:-/
And just who is stirring this pot? Obama and VJ? Guess they didn’t get their desired outcome of riots after the killings of 9 people, so, they have to resort to plan B.
Ok now we’re going to be in Charleston in three weeks. No rioting please.
More lies from the traitor media. Let it fly and add another one beside it.
