Far Left Antifa Thugs Are Planning to Desecrate Graves and Burn Flags at Gettysburg on July 1st

Paying idiots sufficient money to destroy others' property - in this case the property of Americans in general - can achieve one's socialist anti-America ends and contribute to incitement toward civil war - WHEN will law enforcement in this nation put a STOP TO THIS? Free speech and the 1st Amendment is one thing, but outright destruction of that Amendment through disrespectful unlawful actions is quite another. Teach the 'judges' this as they, too, are disrespectful unlawful idiots and as*holes.

Far left Antifa activists are planning to protest at Gettysburg National Battlefield on the anniversary of the historic battle and burn confederate flags on the historic day.

The violent far left group has been vandalizing Confederate monuments across the country this year.

(Andrew Marcus) Harrisburg100 reported:

Over the past few weeks, several US cities have been a hotbed of controversy over the removal of several Confederate monuments. After decades standing sentinel over New Orleans, the last of four Confederate monuments have been removed after being labeled as “Monuments of Racism and Hate”. (States rights and the north's excessive taxation of the southern cotton producers were the key reasons for the war, with 'slavery' a portion of. The 'slavery' issues continues to be purposely blown way out of proportion to the true root causes of the war. In fact, the Negroes on BOTH sides voluntarily fought in the war, some remaining on their current side and some crossing to fight on behalf of the opposing side. The deliberate destruction of the civil war monuments does little more than illustrate the ignorance of those facts and the disrespect of the peoples' property, and does nothing to resolve any issues of the war itself.)

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said of the removal of his city’s monuments: “To literally put the Confederacy on a pedestal in our more prominent places—in honor—is an inaccurate recitation of our full past, is an affront to our present and it is a bad prescription for our future”. The next state to follow in the footsteps in the movement is Arizona, where leaders call for the swift removal of six Confederate monuments around the state…

…A local group of self-proclaimed anti-fascism activists called “ANTIFA” are planning on holding a rally at Gettysburg National Battlefield on July 1st in protest of President Trump and asks it’s members to “Bring and Burn Confederate Flags”.

The reasoning behind why this group picked the date and location for their rally is for the importance Gettysburg played in the American Civil War.

The Battle of Gettysburg started on July 1, 1863, when Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia met General George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac. During the three-day battle, about 165,000 soldiers clashed in and around the small town of Gettysburg. When the Battle of Gettysburg was over on July 3, 1863, 51,000 soldiers were casualties (killed, wounded, captured or missing) in what remains the largest battle ever fought in North America.

There are approximately 1,328 monuments, markers and memorials that stand in both the cemetery and battlefield to commemorate the Union and Confederate troops who fought there.

In removing any monument or marker of history, to what purpose does that serve? History in every corner of the world while oftentimes ugly and heinous, still serves a purpose. It is a remembrance to learning from our past and not condemning ourselves to repeat it.
