Georgia men crash black child's birthday party threatening to "kill y'all n*****s."

Witnesses at a birthday party in Douglasville, Georgia over the weekend said that festivities were interrupted when men waving Confederate flags threatened them and used racial slurs.

Cell phone video obtained by the Atlanta Journal Constitution shows police officers holding back people attending a birthday party as white men in trucks with Confederate flags and other flags drive by yelling at them.

“This is a child’s birthday party!” one woman shouts back.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the woman who posted the video on Facebook said that the men were armed and were on her property. She said that they threatened to “kill y’all n****rs.”

“I don’t mind them riding with their flags but I don’t want them going around threaten[ing] people in their yard like they did mine or harassing folks either,” the woman explained in her Facebook post.

the huge Confederate flag on his truck who got shot in a black neighborhood?

Fucking dumbass stopped for something at a convenience store and a small altercation seems to have started, although the details are sketchy, and he got shot in the face.

His girlfriend says there's not a racist bone in his body.

then set fire to his house and shot himself. The smoke woke me up this morning.

I'm willing to bet it was a confederate treason flag. There are no other details on the story so far. I'm also guessing the house was a foreclosure.

There sure is a lot of lunacy happening around that flag.

Also, hold your phone flat, not upright, people. The wide angle shot gives a lot more information.

Gotta maximize the experience.

All those pick-em-up trucks with Dixie Swastika flags, and nobody there had a rocket-propelled grenade.

in full regalia, hoods and all. If not EVERY weekend almost every weekend.

Douglasville, GA is a VERY racist area.

There's an area in the middle of town this is basically separated by railroad tracks into black and white areas, and the KKK are always RIGHT AT the RR crossings on weekends.

I am disgusted to be from this state, but cannot say I am surprised to see this going on in Douglasville, GA.

I am thinking about moving to Georgia for cost-of-living and to be closer to parents. I have removed the Douglasville area from my consideration.

Fucking chicken-ass shit heads. They’d shit their collective pants if they walked down 125th Street. Not because its a crime-ridden area but because at the base of all this hatred is fear. They know if it came to bare-knuckled fisticuffs they’d have their asses handed to them. I for one would pay to see that. Not that I’m advocating violence you understand. But I would not be the least-bit upset if these people would all just disappear.

Fucking chicken shit.

These stupid idiots are so used to thinking that they’re higher up on the food chain just because they’re melanin-challenged that they think they can say what they want with impunity. Glad he (the Georgia guy) got the appropriate “Welcome To New York” he so richly deserved.

...the inlanders would hate the people that lived at water’s edge, the innkeepers would hate the farmers etc etc.

i echo your sentiment, but the cruel and awful thing is that hate, prejudice and envy is part of the human condition and we’d do well to pay attention to our ugly inner voices when they speak to us, and question why we are feeling this way and why we are filled with such loathing. We are none of us above it but we should know it is the dark side of humanity and banish it when it appears.

It doesn't always take weapons or bombs to instill fear.

This is dt and a hate crime.
