Far left Antifa activists are planning to protest at Gettysburg National Battlefield on the anniversary of the historic battle and burn confederate flags on the historic day.

The violent far left group has been vandalizing Confederate monuments across the country this year.

Harrisburg100 reported:

Over the past few weeks, several US cities have been a hotbed of controversy over the removal of several Confederate monuments. After decades standing sentinel over New Orleans, the last of four Confederate monuments have been removed after being labeled as “Monuments of Racism and Hate”. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said of the removal of his city’s monuments: “To literally put the Confederacy on a pedestal in our more prominent places—in honor—is an inaccurate recitation of our full past, is an affront to our present and it is a bad prescription for our future”. The next state to follow in the footsteps in the movement is Arizona, where leaders call for the swift removal of six Confederate monuments around the state…

…A local group of self-proclaimed anti-fascism activists called “ANTIFA” are planning on holding a rally at Gettysburg National Battlefield on July 1st in protest of President Trump and asks it’s members to “Bring and Burn Confederate Flags”. The reasoning behind why this group picked the date and location for their rally is for the importance Gettysburg played in the American Civil War. The Battle of Gettysburg started on July 1, 1863, when Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia met General George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac. During the three-day battle, about 165,000 soldiers clashed in and around the small town of Gettysburg...

Hundreds of people show up every year reenact the various battles that took place at Gettysburg. Hundreds representing both sides. I suspect Antifa is going to be shocked to see both those sides fighting as brothers in arms if they attempt to vandalize ANY monuments there.

Yep they want to antagonize people that love America.

This is sacred ground, and should never be disrespected.

Antifia is basically pi$$ing all over the graves of dead Americans.

I hope they find out who funded this. Arrest everyone involved in the funding, seize all their assets, interrogate them and charge them.

As for the thugs. Just arrest them and charge everyone of them. Make them all lawyer up.

The Globalist are desperate, trying to enrage Americans and start a physical civil war. All because they lost an election in 2016.

Foreign nations gave a sh!tload of cash to the Clinton Foundation and dammit they wanted returns on that investment.

“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.


The Leftists love their marches and riots. They’ll even produce a few of them on their own without rent a mobs at $15 an hour.

I visited G-burg as a kid, in the 60’s. Spookiest place I’ve ever been. There are ghosts flying around there like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

Insurrectionists and traitors all. National guard should ring the place and FBI should interview/interrogate every one of the sorry bastards that show up. Enough is enough. It’s time to pull back the curtain on who is behind this, take away passports and hound them to the ends of the earth.

They need to put a bounty on these bastards. The ACLUseless started this crap by forcing the removal of Confederate Flags from the graves of Confederate Soldiers.

Our governor would never deploy the National Guard to counter Antifa or any other left wing nut group. Truth be told, he supports them...

LOL, The park will be jammed full of people on that date. 99% of them will be patriots. That’s why they will be at the battlefield. You can’t scrape the dirt with your shoe at Gettysburg without getting arrested.

These punks aren’t smart enough to realize that they are the fascists.

I was just at Gettysburg about two weeks ago. First time in my life, and I cant put into words the feelings that I had by being there. That place is a National treasure and needs to remain as a reminder of what this country went through during those dark days.

A friend and I were in an upscale coffee shop one afternoon when a new Volvo pulled up loaded with a bunch of college-age kids. They came inside laughing and high-fiving each other bragging about how much money they had made that day by begging on the streets. One got $250.

Yeah, I feel a "presence" every time I go there. Makes my hair stand up on end.

For the record, nobody has removed any monuments in Arizona - yet.

If someone wanted to start a new civil war in America I can think of no better way than dishonoring the memory of the dead from the last one.
