Vanity : Antifa to march on and desecrate Gettysburg Cemetary on July 1?

Hello. I searched for antifa and gettysburg on FR but found nothing, so I am sorry if this is a rerun. I read on Twitter that Antifa is planning a march at Gettysburg Cemetary on July 1 (saturday). I read they plan to knock over and write grafitti on tombstones. Did anyone else see this?

The idiots. IIRC, there are no Confederates buried at Gettysburg.

Trying to instigate a second Civil War by desecrating the first one?

The Democrats would lose a second Civil War too.

[Nifster]

Stupid yobs. No rebs buried there

They’ve been known to talk sh!t before, but they do need to be watched just in case.

So, if they are protesting the battle do they think that the Union should have just let General Lee’s army march into Pennsylvania?

Or are they upset the South lost the war?

That’s a National Park, so if they do so, they are committing a Federal crime.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

They can only disgrace themselves, they have no power to add or detract from the sanctity of the place.

What difference would that make? They consider both sides equally guilty?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Not long ago there was an antifa plan to march on the statue of Sam Houston in Texas. I saw the web page.
A few days later the page was scrubbed.
Maybe this is another hoax.

Thanks.

The SOB's should all be hung. I remember down in Washington DC, they said they were going to vandalize the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial, so there was a huge contingent of veterans that showed up to guard it, but the damage had apparently already been done.

They are full of crap, but they can cause damage.

I'll go with the theory that they are incoherent, spoiled little snots who are just trying to get a rise out of decent people. It's probably just a monstrous hoax, but a hoax that no decent person would ever participate in. I would dearly love to see a couple of these snotty little bastards get a taste of their own medicine.

Civil war leaves deep wounds. Recognizing confederate soldiers as US veterans was part of the healing process, I think.

[turfmann]

Amen to that from the descendent of multiple Union soldiers.

Maybe all the ghosts at Gettysburg will haunt and torment the Antifada dopes that show up.
