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.

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!

Yup - first the flags - then the monuments - then the re-enactments

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.

“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?

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.

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.

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.
