Armed Black Militia Challenges White Nationalists at Georgia's Stone Mountain Park

About 1,000 heavily armed militia, all of whom were Black, marched through Georgia's Stone Mountain Park on Saturday, challenging white nationalist groups in the area to either come out and fight or join them in demonstrating against the government.

Stone Mountain State Park officials said the Black militia group was peaceful, orderly and escorted by police as they called for the removal of the country's largest Confederate monument near Atlanta.

Videos posted to social media show the group, the "Not F**king Around Coalition" (NFAC), meeting at the massive nine-story quartz sculpting that depicts former Confederate president Jefferson Davis and Southern generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

NFAC Founder Grand Master Jay told Newsweek via phone Sunday that the militia members at Stone Mountain on Saturday were "100 percent Black" and they are not affiliated with Black Lives Matter. "We are a Black militia. We aren't protesters, we aren't demonstrators. We don't come to sing, we don't come to chant. That's not what we do," he said.

Funny how professional and calm the police are when surrounded by fully armed citiznes.

This is what America has come to-with opposing militias squaring off into two groups each carrying military grade firearms with government Storm Troopers roaming the streets of many cities in America

And live south of there now.

This worries me a good deal. I don't think its too far in the future that we are going to have both sides shooting at each other. And trumpie's troops coming in to stir the pot. Dem mayor, Dem governor.
