Armed pro-BLM militia group NFAC marches on Stone Mountain, supporters say they are 'in tears right now'

[MEAWW] The group, known as Not F**king Around Coalition (NFAC), demanding the removal of carvings of Confederate figures on the side of the mountain, where KKK was reborn in 1915

Hundreds of protesters dressed in black

Golly — hundreds. Well, I’m impressed....

armed with assault rifles marched towards Stone Mountain, Georgia, demanding the carving of Confederate figures on the side of the mountain be removed in light of recent events. Those figures include Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Thomas J "Stonewall" Jackson. Although some found the sight to be alarming, Stone Mountain Park Police told media they had no issues with the gathering.

The park had just recently opened after being closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic as such there not many people gathered this weekend. However, on July 4 afternoon, more than 100 people showed up protesting the monument, which is one of the largest in the country. The protesters were heavily armed but workers with the Park's Public Safety Division said they had no issues with the group coming in to exercise their right to free speech. Shortly after 2 pm local time, the armed protesters were allowed to enter the park from the West Gate. They then headed to the lawn area of the park from where the monument can be viewed.

The group then went to Memorial Hall, spoke and then left with an escort by the park police. Both north and west entrances to the park were closed and no one else was allowed to enter during the demonstrations. Those in the park were allowed to hike and walk but no attractions were open.

The mountain is also a notorious meeting place for the Ku Klux Klan, which was "reborn" atop it. The KKK was brought back to life on that mountain with a burning cross in 1915 -- advocates of the Confederate carvings were card-carrying members of the hate group. After the mountain was complete, a "neo-Confederate theme park" emerged around the area, including a plantation house, and a 'Gone With the Wind' museum, according to the Atlanta History Center. Since then, KKK members have gathered annually at Stone Mountain to hold rallies, according to The New York Times.

#4 All these riots don't just happen spontaneously. The "extremists are being funded by the left-wing. The DOJ/FBI needs to go after those who are funding Antifa/BLM/others and starve them of these funds.

#6 So I watched them, on video, marching in formation. I was struck by the numbers, a few hundred. I see it a little differently, like so may of here on the burg do. They, the so called protestors, were all in like uniforms, they were organized, they were disciplined, all had similar weapons, they were under control and for all practical purposes a military force armed for battle. They were not Anarchists, they were well armed, they were soldiers. We need to take note. I realized just how unprepared we are to defend America from this.
BLM/Antifa are winning every fight, we, America have lost every one so far. Sad, but a fact. They have burned our cities, a few arrests, most arrested released, no reprisals. They have destroyed our businesses, no reprisals. The only force in America to defend us have been vilified and now going through defunding. They have been successful in systematically destroying our churches. They ARE systematically destroying our history. They have made professional sports fans and owners a racist entity, NFL playing the Black national anthem et all. All the glue that hold the American blue collars citizens together is now broken, outlawed, or racist. Just hang an All Lives Matter banner or a Redskins banner outside your house in the city and see what happens. Speak out about white privilege at work and see what happens.
So they have won on every front, our politicians, like all in history are trying to appease, which never works. So who will defend us? Who will protect us from these hoards? The police are muzzled, the military are constitutionally bound to not defend us. And the enemy are organized and well funded.
The constitution allows for a well regulated militia. We have always looked at the national guard as that entity. We need a nationally organized entity to manage countering this force and currently there is not that force in place. We need it now, if its not already too late.

#10 Ref #8: We need it now, if its not already too late.

You just won 'Yard of the Month' with that elegantly manicured last line.

#11 IIRC, doesn't/didn't Obamacare have provisions for some kind of domestic force to enforce order in situations like these?
