CANCELED! White Supremacist Group NOT to March on Princeton on Saturday @ Palmer Square

UPDATE: According to a post Gab and Twitter accounts, the New Jersey European Heritage Association called off their rally, saying it was all a big joke or whatever and that everyone was “punk’d” by them. Folks are taking it as a face-saving move considering they don’t have a history of going toe to toe with the opposition without police guarding them or sneaking around to post flyers everyone will see long after they are gone. So take a bow, Princeton! You chumped these clowns! More on this later.

On the same day as the Three Percenter/Proud Boy rally in Philly last November, a group called the New Jersey European Heritage Association did a flash mob rally of five people where they just walked around with “It’s Okay to be White” placards. They posted a video of them doing this, and this was the only way anyone even knew they did this thing. We have gotten used to this stunt over the past year since Charlottesville of groups trying to avoid antifa with clandestine marches and rallies. Hell, the first rally in Charlottesville in May 2017 was a similar flash mob – and it still saw opposition.

Well, it looks like the NJEHA has plans for Princeton again, and this time they decided to announce it via flyers they put all over town. Someone actually caught one of their guys doing it and ran him off, and they proceeded to take the flyers down and alert antifa to their plans for this weekend. So there should be a lot of opposition coming out for this thing, even if NJEHA decides to change theirs.

This group was with Jason Kessler in Washington, DC on the anniversary of Charlottesville for his “Unite the Right 2” rally. Only a dozen boneheads made it to that event, and that included them. That was enough for someone to dox the head of the group apparently.

It seems that NJEHA loves to harass Princeton, so we don’t think this will be the last stunt we will see from them. What will be different however is the fact that the local opposition will be able to introduce themselves. This is from a Facebook event page:

“We have the displeasure of informing you all that a fascist group will be holding a rally at Palmer Square in Princeton on Saturday the 12th at noon. Central Jersey DSA, along with a local rapid response group, the IWW GDC, and SPUSA, are organizing a counter-protest. We believe that the best way to avoid a violent confrontation will be to overwhelm them with numbers and deny them the space to spread their genocidal ideology. It would mean the world to us to have DSA comrades from all over New Jersey join the demonstration.

By dominating the space with sheer numbers, we believe that we can show them that they are not welcome, in New Jersey or anywhere else, and steal away their platform to promote our own vision of a better world.

Please remember, we will be counter-protesting with non-violence in solidarity with those who have been targeted by the fascists..”
