Neo-Nazis Will Rally In Georgia Today To Celebrate Hitler’s Birthday – Violent Clashes With Antifa Predicted

UUUGH.

I wish these creeps would fall into a hole and STAY THERE.

I hate them with the FURY of a billion suns…

You know what ELSE I hate? The left will conflate these morons with Conservatives.

NOPE. I completely and totally denounce these POS morons… as has our president on MANY MANY MANY MANY occasions.  But yeah. The libs will totally conflate. It’s what they do best.

According to this:

A scheduled neo-Nazi rally near Atlanta Saturday has the community concerned about violent clashes as city officials implement extra security measures.

Newnan, Georgia, which is about 40 miles west of the state’s capital, has permitted the National Socialist Movement to host a rally from 3 to 5pm.

The group organizes a rally every year in honor of Adolf Hitler’s birthday, which is on April 20.

In preparation for the rally, city officials have worked with dozens of agencies, including law enforcement, to ‘ensure the safety’ or the residents and businesses in the area, FOX 5 Atlanta reports.

Can you imagine being the kind of psycho that celebrates Hitler’s birthday?

Ugh. Just go away. Forever. Thanks.

The extra safety measures include road closures and more law enforcement staff available during the demonstration, which will be held in Newnan’s Greenville State Park.

‘The City of Newnan has a responsibility to protect free speech rights, the individuals and groups that chose to exercise those rights and the broader community in which those rights may be exercised,’ the city said in a statement.

I respect that… after all, the First Amendment is meant to protect speech we don’t like. We must hold true to that, or it all begins to crumble.

The National Socialist Movement obtained a permit for the demonstration last month and the event has since sparked counter-protesters to organize their own rally.

In response to the neo-Nazi demonstration, Atlanta’s Antifa is gathering in the city starting at 1.30pm, according to the group’s website.

Yup. And that’s why people are worried there may be violent clashes.

Another group called the No Nazi Newnan coalition has chastised the city for allowing the white supremacists to rally in the first place.

In a press release Tuesday afternoon, the coalition stated that ‘city of Newnan authorities have lectured their residents about not protesting the National Socialist Movement’, the Newnan Times-Herald reports.

Maybe to avoid violence? Though I believe that a counter-protest is ENTIRELY their right.

But members of the coalition disagree with about not counter-protesting because they believe ‘turning a blind eye’ is not going to stop ‘bigotry, hatred or violence.’

‘What is needed is a large-scale display of unity and community vigilance against organized white supremacists,’ the statement said.

This is already waging a negative toll on the town itself:

Businesses are expected to shutdown amid the demonstrations and some residents are worried that the protests could turn violent if ‘troublemakers’ show up.

‘It’s scary that this is coming to our town because we didn’t ask for this,’ said Newnan resident Gina Godfrey to CBS 46.

She was trying to go to the bank Friday, but the building was already barricaded in anticipation of Saturday’s rally.

Residents’ fears about the rally stems from the Charlottesville, Virginia, white nationalist event in August 2017.

The day turned violent when a vehicle slammed into counter-protesters killing Heather Heyer, 32, and injuring 19 people. The driver, James Fields Jr, was charged with second-degree murder.

Honestly, I’d be nervous too.

I’d CERTAINLY stay away from that part of town today, that’s for sure.
