All Out Against the Klan

This Saturday, the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, along with the National Socialist Movementaka the American Nazi Party,) will attempt to hold a rally in Gettysburg, PA. It should go without saying, but its important that fascism is physically and militantly confronted and dealt with rather than ignored and left alone to spread. We don't want them to organize or gain a foothold in our communities. We want them out.

This is a urgent plea for people to come to Gettysburg to help us address the threat of white supremacy and drive them out of our area.


THERE WILL BE A SPOKES/VOUCH-IN MEETING TOMORROW MORNING AT 10:00, so try to get in town early.

Email dcantiracistaction (at) gmail.com for more information/contact numbers.

Rally information is as follows:

1 p.m., lawn of the Cyclorama Center
37th Texas Cavalry counter protest, lawn of the Cyclorama Center
Community Unity Day, noon to 5 p.m., Gettysburg Recreation Park
Sons of Confederate Veterans speakers, 1 p.m., Gettysburg Battlefield Amphitheater on West Confederate Avenue
Gettysburg College Diversity Celebration Picnic, noon to 4 p.m., Stine Lake

This was a good time. Many Klan supporters and their cars were confronted. If our numbers were greater the rally could have been largely disrupted.

The KKK and other such groups may seem a bit dangerous, but at the same time they do have the same right to free speech that everyone else does. That goes for peaceable assembly. Would you deny a right to others that you would reserve for yourself based upon a difference of thought or opinion? I'm not quite sure that "confronting" such groups in this manner is something free people ought to celebrate.

free speech?

That makes sense if you believe in the notion of freedom of speech put forth by the US Constitution, which is utter garbage. I refuse to let the US Government create a code that I should live by in allowing all people their right to "Free Speech". I'm not going to accept someone's freedom of speech if that speech is calling for my murder.

If I'm expected to respect their freedom of speech they should expect to respect my boot in their face.

A boot'll have to do, since we lack the batons, shields, gasses, grenades, and rubber bullets that greet so-called "free-speech" in the US.

Carboard box? Not quite, but I imagine a position such as paid, uniformed terrorist, also called "cop" pays a helluva lot better than my job. Besides the license to kill, immunity from prosecution, and drug profits, you probably have a great dental plan.
Social security is a drop in the bucket compared to what it'll cost for health care for a bunch of morbidly obese terrorists who have been riding around in a car for 8 hours a day for 25 years.

then why aer you rumanating about missing the chance to be one
? did you blow the psych test. or did you just plain get rejected.

Psych test?

You gotta be kidding me. A psych test? No way. If the uniformed terrorists who occupy our communities passed a piggie psych test, I can't imagine who failed it. Soon, the real nut-jobs fresh from Iraq will be controlling the drug trade. Scary.
