Militias flocked to Gettysburg to foil a supposed antifa flag burning, a hoax

GETTYSBURG NATIONAL MILITARY PARK, PA. — For weeks, a mysterious figure on social media talked up plans for antifa protesters to converge on this historical site on Independence Day to burn American flags, an event that seemed at times to border on the farcical.

As word spread, self-proclaimed militias, bikers, skinheads and far-right groups from outside the state issued a call to action, pledging in online videos and posts to come to Gettysburg to protect the Civil War monuments and the nation’s flag from desecration. Some said they would bring firearms and use force if necessary.

Maybe it was done by the FBI to identify the neo-nazis.

Look at the pictures. Many are heavily armed. We need to change our laws to make that legal.

Second, some are carrying/wearing confederate flags. That is a symbol of white nationalism.

lol. ANTIFA is powerless outside Dem cities - they would be in the middle of a big park with nowhere to hide

This is Hilarious

I wonder if the prankster is related to Devin Nunes’ Cow or Devin Nunes’ Mother?

Well, it wasn’t a totally wasted day for these Idjuts, at least they got to ‘Murcia.

Suddenly, by the statue of Lee, a biker shouted that he had gotten an alarming call. Someone was preparing to burn a flag, after all, he said. Scores of people jumped on their bikes and roared toward the cemetery.

There, they learned it was not the threat they imagined.

A man had entered the cemetery wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt. The man, Trent Somes, later told The Post he was visiting the grave of an ancestor, not protesting. A seminarian and associate pastor at First United Methodist Church in Hanover, Pa., Somes said a crowd of about 50 people surrounded him and aggressively questioned him about his shirt.

“I didn’t do anything to them,” he said.

Police arrived and encouraged Somes to leave.

“For his own safety, federal law enforcement made the decision to remove him, and he was escorted out of the cemetery,” Jason Martz, acting public affairs officer for Gettysburg National Military Park, later said.

Damn they are stupid. Fat, white old guys with guns get punked. Too funny. The guy on the motorcycle with the Confederate flag made me laugh.

The only thing about Trumps base that isn't shrinking is their waistlines.
