"Confederate flag supporters indicted under Georgia terrorism law"

Officers on scene were given conflicting statements as to what led up to the confrontation.”
Douglas County District Attorney Brian Fortner said members of the “Respect the Flag” group violated the state’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act and made terroristic threats when their caravan of vehicles bearing the rebel flag drove past a neighborhood party.
“We do want to say that we respect the rights of all citizens to exercise their First Amendment right, but we’re going to require them when they’re doing that to respect the right of all of the citizens to feel safe,” Fortner said at a news conference attended by FOX5.
The indictment, handed up on Friday, also charges two members of the group with battery for a separate incident that occurred at a gas station on the same day. While video of the Confederate convoy has made its way onto social media, there are two drastically different depictions of what occurred on July 25, with each side blaming the other for generating hostility.
This much is not in dispute: numerous pickup trucks, adorned with several large American and Confederate flags, formed a caravan and drove into a neighborhood where a birthday party was being held for a child.

If the Nazis can march through Skokie, the Johnny rebs can drive through Douglasville.

Can't wait for the penumbra they pull out of their behinds for this one.

"respect the right of all of the citizens to feel safe,"

There is no right to feeling safe and you cannot compel someone to make someone else feel safe. Are they fucking serial?

Super serial. #SafetyWins! #TwueLuvWins!

Say, DA Fortner, I'd feel safe if I could carry a firearm concealed without getting your permission.

Get ready for more of the same.

The only thing is they will be arresting you for wearing a crucifix or a yarmulke.

Heh. The difference being that the Nazis' case was tolerated under free-speech grounds, whereas in this case you actually sympathize with those indicted.

I think it's a totally legitimate application. If you're going to uphold laws aimed at curbing the violence and intimidation bred by black gangs or Arab terrorists, then you can't make rednecks celebrating their grandparents' love of lynching and other Southern traditions above the law either.

They are working at passing comprehensive legislation to free more criminals and put them back on the street. It won't affect the politicians with their bodyguards and gated communities. But it will affect the average working Joe be he black or white.

The goal of the elite is to make America a Third World country. They won't be happy until their are flies on your babies eyes.
