BLM and Right-Wing Militias in Tense Standoff Near Stone Mountain Monument
PJ Media ^ | 8/16/2020 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/17/2020 8:29:36 AM PDT by Zenyatta

Two armed groups on opposing sides of the ideological divide squared off at Stone Mountain, Ga., on Saturday as right-wing militias and their allies stood face to face with Black Lives Matter and other left-wing radicals who had come to oppose them.

A militia group from Georgia wanted to demonstrate their support for the monument at Stone Mountain — the largest bas-relief carving in the world that depicts Confederate Generals Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee as well as Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Black Lives Matter was there to shout down the militias.

The situation became dicey at times as there were several pushing and wrestling matches between individuals, but no severe violence.

I don’t care for the Stars and Bars. Never have. Never will.

I don't either, however destroying these symbols that have been traditionally tolerated is about promoting Marxist ideology rather than combating racism. We should defend these symbols for the following reasons:

Since when did “militias” become a hate group word? BLM Marxists have been breaking laws for months now with impunity. If militia shows up to stop them from breaking more laws are they not enforcing law that officials refuse to do?

Since you’re up in the air, why don’t you just ahead and side with the communists.

I fully support your right to your opinion....having said that.... the Stars and Bars are part of me and my family’s heritage and we don’t care who likes it or not. If it is ever banned from public places then it will be flown from a lot of private places!!!

The next result of the Democrats march toward civil war II will be the rise of vigilantism. With the police having their hands tied by their elected bosses and crime running rampant eventually human nature will take it’s course and vengeance or punishment will be dished out to the rioters by individuals or groups of individuals who have been attacked by ANTIFA/BLM or had family members attacked or murdered. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear of accounts where the rioters are given trials before punishment.

This is course will send the media and Democrats into a raging fury and demands that these “terrorists” be stopped will be ringing in everyone’s ears. The DOJ/FBI will dutiful infiltrate and arrest some of these people but eventually the larger vigilante committees will disappear and you will have the classic cells of three dispensing street justice, then it gets really nasty.

It seems to me that someone in the right wing militia needs to make a phone call so someone in Sturgis. Those folks at Sturgis don’t smile and play nice. When they say go, you better git..yesterday.

I hates the Yankees nation
And everything they do,
I hates the Declaration,
Of Independence, too.
I hates the glorious Union-
‘Tis dripping with our blood-
I hates their striped banner,
I fit it all I could.
