ALERT! League of the South to Rally in TN
1651 W Elk Ave
Elizabethton, TN 37643
USA
During the Civil War, Tennessee was the last state in the Confederacy to vote for secession, Union soldiers from the south came from Tennessee more than any other state, and Johnson City, Tennessee in particular was a Union stronghold. One would not think that given its history of White supremacy since the war, up to and including now, and it definitely strikes funny how despite the fact that the latest Confederate monument came down at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, NC, the White Supremacist League of the South decided to protest that and other monuments to their lost cause going on the trash heap 200 miles away in Johnson City!
In a statement on their website, LOSer President Michael Hill called for a rally in Johnson City, condemning Chapel Hill’s “radical leftist students, including elements of Antifa and Black Lives Matter” as well as “law enforcement standing around watching as these terrorists demolished public property with impunity.” Johnson City Manager Pete Peterson confirmed through a spokesperson that the group has expressed an intent to hold something there, and do not need a permit, although city staff has “had conversations with them about doing so in a location that will help us best ensure public safety.”
But when people come out to counter this group, dialogue might not be the order of the day. After all, the LOSers made a deal with Charlottesville, VA to essentially not come back after their participation in the violence of last year’s “Unite the Right” rally. And they also were good for attacking people in Shelbyville, TN when they held a rally there in November. Needless to say, Antifa is already sounding the alarm for this little event.

What a bunch of losers trying to stir up trouble in a totally unrelated city. GTFO of Elizabethton you creeps! If you go look at their website, by the way, part of it is in Russian for “Russian outreach” How shady is that? My great grandfathers were in the Civil War fighting FOR THE UNION. This is union territory GTFO and go back to Alabama you rednecks!!
