Heavily armed "black militia" storm Stone Mountain on July 4th

[sid]

Read the entire article and hear what these worthies are threatening. Watch the videos also. If this isn't the beginning of a civil war then I don't know what is. Again I say the same thing. How much longer do we put up with this crap? The demands just keep getting crazier all the time. The sooner this is stopped the sooner it will be over.

These race war idiots (y'all know who I'm talking about) will ruin 2A for everybody.

Seems like those folks are doing nothing more than expressing their Second Amendment freedoms. I don’t recall any protests from you concerning the gun boys in Michigan a few months ago.

A lot is involved in this.

During "Jim Crow" and before black people armed themselves or formed militias for self defense. Both Frederick Douglas and Ida Wells advocated the use of firearms for self defense. Douglas said that a Colt revolver was the best defense against slave catchers and Wells said the Winchester rifle deserved a "place of honor" in every black home. Black militias were formed all through the history of the United States. Condoleeza Rice talked about how, after the murder of those three little girls in Birmingham, her father organized what she called a "militia under the 2nd Amendment" of people in his neighborhood. There were checkpoints manned by armed men at every entrance. Some were better organized. "The Deacons for Defense" which ironically probably didn't include any deacons, it just sounded good was an organized armed militia composed mostly of WW II and Korean War veterans. the preferred weapon of the Deacons was the M1 rifle. They were most famous for standing down the Ku Klux Klan in Bogausa La. before finally disbanding in 1968. The Black Panthers in 1960s California decided that they didn't want the police in their neighborhoods (sound familiar) and started following around the cops in cars loaded with men armed with shotguns. This led to the Mulford Act of 1967 (it should probably have been called the Black Panther disarmament act.) The day that Ronald Reagan signed it the Panthers took this last opportunity to protest armed in front of the California State Capitol.

The new radicals follow the pattern of the Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army ect. with a difference. They have their own armed security provided by a radical group called "Redneck Revolt" which has a subsidiary called "The John Brown Gun Club" which forms the paramilitary arm of Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA and other radical anarchist and marxist groups. They have nationwide chapters. These were the people packing ARs in the CHAZ/CHOP zone. I've seen in recent pictures and articles they've updated their act and gone from an assortment of odds and ends weapons to tricked our AR 15s, Tavors and other top end firearms.

Nothing is quite as simple as it sounds.

Art, how does their Order of Battle stack up with the numerous white militias in the country? "Tricked out AR15s?" Is this a joke post?

Look at the above picture. The guy is a Redneck Rebellion/John Brown Gun Club member. He is absolutely representative of what these guys are like now. They are no longer rag tag. It isn't a joke post and these people are no joke. You almost never hear about them at all on the news which I guarantee you would if they were a "right wing militia."

What does that mean, that they're no joke? Do they worry you?

Don't patronize me. I avoid that behavior my self and I don't appreciate it from you.

You know exactly what I mean. They are organized, they mean business and they are above criticism by the press. They are also exercising their 2nd Amendment rights peacefully...so far..as far as I know. Which means they don't worry me...yet. Of course I don't know whether or not they were the ones who gunned down those folks in the CHOP zone either.

Everything very well stated Art.

Here is reality as I see it. As long as someone isn't breaking the law they can do what they please. I'm glad there weren't armed counter protestors there because we might have heard the second shot heard around the world. All it takes is a simple mistake and people will get hurt. I've looked at the video and I saw a lot of people who looked hot and sweaty wearing that gear. Running and gunning is a fit young persons game and I didn't see a lot of infantry in that group. So as long as they don't screw with me and mine or other citizens. I say let who ever wants to arm up and march around do their thing.

These are strange times. People in the right have grown accustomed to having the guns. It's an open question in my mind how some will react to their political opposition discovering the Second Amendment.

Personally I am not keen on irregular (non-state) militias. I view their proliferation as a sign of political breakdown. But what should we expect of a political class where even the very old have never known sacrifice in their entire lives. Individuals, yes, but as a class no.

They were threatening, cursing and making demands at white visitors to the park. They were doing this while carrying AR 15's, etc. Don't tell me that this is legal. Any whites doing this would have been arrested right away and the media would have it in headlines for at least a month.

Stone Mountain is in Georgia, right?

The same Georgia where an investigation into the death of Ahmaud Arbery went nowhere for over two months, passed around like a warm egg salad sandwich, until a viral video forced people's hands.

The novelty of this role reversal just has Sid a bit stunned. In the event, no one was hurt, nothing defaced. Again, not a big militia fan, but if militias are the fashion of the day then let these guys play too.

Folks at Stone Mountain exercising their 1A & 2A rights. Back and forth communication is key to avoiding conflict.
