Stone Mountain, Georgia thread for the August 15, 2020 rally, counter protest.

While there have been claims that the organizers have been pulling this together for more than a month, for most of the right wing groups involved, it's looked more like total disarray.
The primary draw for the RW militia was the LW militia, the newly formed NFAC, but they pulled out of the event a few days ago.

White supremacist group who were pushing online for conflict were only really interested in having other RW groups do the actual dirty work for them.
RW leaders told supporter they had a rally permit but they were denied.

Instead, the Stone Mountain Park was closed today because of the rally.
Some backed out, claiming that it was going to rain. Others decided to move their rally to a different city an hour away.

Hard to tell, but it looks like RW are slightly outnumbered by press and about four to five times outnumbered by LW.

Old black military veteran: Are you stupid?
There are a couple of people agitating for a fight. Cops are doing nothing to keep the groups separate.

This guy is interesting. He just stood down a three percenter militant.
LW numbers are growing. They now significantly outnumber RW.
I've put together a list for those who want to watch the events in real time.

T-shirt guy is being such an asshole that the 3%ers are trying to say that he's not with them.
Some hard core white supremacist types showed up but LW are now *vastly* outnumbering RW.
