Vastly outnumbered by protesters, white nationalists cancel second rally.

Courtesy of CNN: 

White nationalists groups that rallied Saturday in Shelbyville, Tennessee, were met by a large police presence and dozens of shouting counterprotesters. Hours later, a second rally planned in nearby Murfreesboro was canceled. 

The demonstrations, which organizers called the "White Lives Matter" rally, were planned by The League of the South, a Southern nationalist group, according to Brad Griffin, the organization's public relations chief. Other extreme-right and neo-Nazi groups joined them in the protests wearing black and bearing helmets and shields. 

The groups had planned to start at Shelbyville and then head to Murfreesboro about 20 miles to the north, but the Murfreesboro rally was canceled, Griffin said. 

About 800 to 1,000 counterprotesters had gathered in Murfreesboro to oppose the demonstrations, Rutherford County Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh and Murfreesboro Interim Police Chief Michael Bowen said in a joint statement. 

Griffin announced the rally was canceled on Twitter saying that Murfreesboro was a "lawsuit trap" and that holding an event there was not worth the risk.

Just goes to show that showing up to protest DOES work. 

These were expected to be the largest white nationalist rallies since Charlootesville, and they were shut down by people who are sick and tired of seeing racists taking over their streets.

That is definitely one for the good guys.

People have every right to exercise their freedom of speech, even racist POS, however they should expect to be met by others who are also exercising their rights to freedom of speech.

And if they cannot take that kind of heat, they need to stay the fuck home.

    2. American News X Facebook page has a firsthand account from a lady in the Murfreesboro area on Saturday at a bar/restaurant. A gang of 20 or so men dressed all in black came into the bar and went into a back area and accosted s young biracial couple, physically wounding the girl. I suppose they were in a pissy mood because their rally was called off. I thought we were long past this type of thing. Not the America I thought we would have in 2017!

    If these f***ing Nazis want to hang out and play their Third Reich games, they need to move to Argentina; I understand there's a lot of their buddies down there.

    Nazis go home.

    "Spacey tweeted: "I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago.
    "But if I did behave then as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior, and I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried with him all these years.""

      "Gay men especially have long been burdened by unfounded prejudice that they are more likely to seduce young boys
      "This isn't a coming out story about Spacey, but a story of survivorship by Anthony Rapp & those who speak out about unwanted sexual advances. The media and public should not gloss over that.”"Spacey’s statement is a “calculated manipulation to deflect attention from the very serious accusation that he attempted to molest [Rapp],”
      "Coming out as a gay man is not the same thing as coming out as someone who preyed on a 14-year-old. Conflating those things is disgusting"

    The nazis thought they'd be welcomed with open arms in small-town Red Tennessee. I believe they were gobsmacked to learn we're ALL tired of this shit.

    ... SO proud of small-town Middle Tennessee!
