Armed neo-Confederates descend on Virginia to defend statue at all cost'

Richmond, Virginia is bracing for violence as neo-Confederates target the former capitol of the Confederacy less than one month after Heather Heyer was killed in what many are calling an act of domestic terrorism.

CSAII: The New Confederate States of America is planning an unpermitted “Heritage not Hate” rally to defend Richmond’s Robert E. Lee Monument following the deadly “Unite the Right” rally to defend Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue.

“I hope nobody loses their lives tomorrow, on either side, I really do,” CSA II organizer and Three Percenter militia organizer Tara Brandau told WTVR. “That’s not why we are here.”

We had a civil war where more Americans died than any other war over this. We fought the Nazis over this. Its possible we wont have to go back to that, but it seems even more fleeting with every day.

They look and very likely smell vastly better than that bunch.

Ye gods, did they have an ugly contest and those were the winners?

We all know how President Trump used that as evidence against the counter-protesters in Charlottesville (even though they did, indeed, have a permit) that "both sides" were to blame for Heather Hayer getting killed. Will Trump trot out that argument against this bunch, since they really don't have a permit for their rally?
