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.

Cowards!
Soon.
They will be carrying AR-15’s and not muskets.
MACA
Make America cowardly again.
Happens before every war.
Another example proving those idiots ARE terrorists.
The cancellation of re-enactments Prove this crap hurts both sides.
Sad day when we give into the demands of terrorists.
AL QAEDA = ISIS = ANTIFA = BLM
Correction. They hate their creator and themselves.
Books , Books you mean like the Koran or maybe the Bible?
The Bible? You would not hear about the Bible burning on the alphabet channels!
Just saw that that Civil War re-enactors got pepper-sprayed in NC yesterday.
The perp's name is Karl Smith. He was carrying a loaded gun, had a concealed carry permit. His picture reminds me of the guy who shot Representative Scalise.
Yet the media claims that these Antifa people are “Good people” and should NOT be compared to Nazi’s..they are WORSE
Does anyone know how to get in touch with Soros?
No live ammo needed.
ATTENTION! Johnny Reb, Billy Yank ---Fix bayonets ... CHARGE!
“So when do they start banning copies of Gone With The Wind?”
It will simply disappear. When was the last time you saw a network/movie channel run it?
obviously ACLU won’t be defending them. (sarc)
besides, ACLU achieved their “goal” in Charlottesville!
17 Aug: ACLU will no longer defend hate groups that protest with firearms
The ACLU has come under fire after it filed a lawsuit in defense of the organizers who planned the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va...

A left vs. right medieval battle would be nice. Have two encampments on a large field. No sharp weapons, just sticks and clubs with homemade armor.
To be honest, I never understood these re-enactments.
The article doesn’t say whether this was a first time event, or whether an annual event that had been held for years.
Seems like pretty pertinent information to put things in context.
What Civil War?
I keep wishing, hoping, praying with each of these insane bully tactics that the American people will wake up because their tipping point has been reached.
