Stone Mountain, Georgia is once again the potential scene of left vs. right-wing bloodshed.
I live near Stone Mountain (like close enough to barely hear the fireworks), and occasionally right-wing activists, including chapters of the KKK, decide to have a rally. They apply for a permit, the permit gets denied, and they show up anyway (complete with guns and rebel flags). Far left-wing activists, including Antifa followers, show up with guns and protest against the protesters. Sometimes Stone Mountain Park, the organization that runs and maintains the attractions and landscaping, decides to close the park for a day, rather than deal with the crazies. So then, all the protesters decide to congregate in the City of Stone Mountain.
The county government sends out texts to citizens who have signed up for emergency notifications. I received one today for tomorrow's anticipated rally. The park is closing, which means the city will be overrun with freaks with guns. For those who may recall my past posts, I am not totally opposed to gun ownership - but these people are nuts. All it would take is one lame-ass gun novice to make a mistake, and a chain reaction bloodbath could take place. The best we can hope for, other than a peaceful rally where no one makes any mistakes, is that all the uninvolved people stay far, far away. Most of the businesses in the city will also be closed. Hopefully, the police have a plan - it's not like this is the first time this has happened. This one is just projected to attract more people than in the past.
Keep us in your thoughts, please.
