Civil War Weekend Canceled in City of Manassas
NBC 4 Washington ^ | Aug 18, 2017 | News4Team

Posted on 08/18/2017 2:57:36 PM PDT by satan

Officials in Manassas, Virginia, say they are canceling an upcoming Civil War Weekend due to safety concerns. The event had been planned for later this month. "Recent events have ignited passions in this country surrounding the Civil War and the symbols representing it. The City of Manassas is saddened by these events and abhors the violence happening around the country," according to a statement from the city's communications manager Friday.  The statement went on to say Manassas doesn't want to "further exacerbate the situation." The city's Civil War Weekend had been scheduled to be held Aug. 25-27. Officials have called off the event "for the safety of our residents, visitors and reenactors," the statement said. Manassas was the site of two Civil War battles.

Manassas has been a garbage dump for decades.

Could they call it the First Battle of Bull Run, instead?

Yup - first the flags - then the monuments - then the re-enactments - next the museums - then the books.

So what is going to happen to Civil War reenactments? Will only the boys in blue be allowed?

This probably is NOT going to sit well with the Reenactors.

They’re as nutty about these things as some are about Comic-Con, or others are about Car Shows or I am about a Garden Show or my County Fair 4-H Barn, LOL!

What a mess. So, SO TIRED of catering to a handful of Soros-Paid Rent-A-Thugs! Can someone of importance just call these PUKES out for WHO they really are?

It’s not like we can’t find the Craig’s List postings rallying these unemployed/unemployable LOSERS prior to these events!

I know several guys involved in this reenactment and they live for it. I have a cousin who is a spitting image of Abe and attends a lot of these around the country. Guess he won’t be welcome anymore.

Don’t forget - they started with anything related to G-d in the schools and in the Statehouses!

We are reaping the whirlwind, for sure!
