White People With Confederate Flags Crash Black Child's Birthday Party

[RandySF]

A woman shared videos on Facebook that shows seven trucks leaving her property, where they were parked. The birthday party was taking place at a residence near the field of the woman who shared the video, according to The Atlanta Constitution.

The woman who shared the video told The Atlanta Journal Constitution that the passengers of the trucks were armed and threatened to, "kill y’all (N-words).”

"This is a child's birthday party," a woman said in the video, which showed police ushering the trucks away from the area.

Police said there were no shots fired, physical altercations or injuries reported, according to Journal Constitution.

“Officers on scene were given conflicting statements as to what led up to the confrontation,” according to the police department’s statement to the newspaper. “Officers identified all involved and arrested one person that was a passenger in the convoy of trucks on unrelated charges."

1. good god....

[Rod Beauvex]

3. Can you even imagine what would have happened....

4. Heritage not Hate, yeah right

The idiotic defenders of that flag will always state it is heritage not hate while at the same time chanting "take back our country" or some other crap. They rolled up on a kids Bday party in a rural area. I doubt they would have rolled up on an adult gathering and kept their flags.

6. they would not

ride up on adults with the same armament. They really are cowards, who have ridden in the night, killed unarmed POC, children women, men and still are. BUT...have a weapon and tell these lowlifes you're going to take a few with you, they will run. I know.

13. Hey, DU - please give us a way to vote +/- on a comment. This is a PLUS.

It ain't that hard. It would stop a lot of the minor +/- comments.

[silverweb]

23. ^^^YES!^^^

[valerief]

5. Fucking criminal lunatics!

[bayareaboy]

7. Who are you calling Lunatics?

De Lunatics with the stars and bars, or the ones wearing them badges.

They both sound like total jerks to me.

[jtuck004]

8. The cowardly pieces of crap that did this to a kids birthday party. The cops sound

like they were doing their job, taking out the trash,

[bayareaboy]

18. My impression was that the Police didn't take any trash to the can!

Even after reading the attached story a second time. It seems like they did not want to even be there.

[wilt the stilt]

9. I sold cash registers all over Atlanta

Douglasville (west) and the south side (Morrow) of Atlanta is very southern. This is not unexpected behavior.

[awoke_in_2003]

10. I can't imagine the amount of hate

necessary to do such a thing.

[blackspade]

11. But a pool full of black kids gets the full on racist beat down....

But crash a party with guns and traitor flags and you just get 'ushered' away....

[gollygee]

16. +1000

Imagine a bunch of African Americans behaving in a similar way to a white child's birthday party. What would happen?

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Probably couldn't have found a mouthful of teeth even if you counted every tooth in every truck. n

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. I would be SO tempted to moon them.

[Chemisse]

15. I can't imagine having to explain this to the birthday child.

Or having to raise a child who will realize one day that a good chunk of the country hates him, sight unseen.

[Telcontar]

17. Tell me again why high capacity magazines are bad?

My kid's party, or my friend's kid's party, there'd be smoke in the air and brass in the grass

[nyabingi]

19. This is exactly why groups like

the Black Panthers (no, not the "New" version that parades around now) and the Deacons for Defense are sorely needed in Black communities right now, armed to the teeth and ready to defend our neighborhoods since it's obvious that most police officers are sympathetic (if not outright supportive) of these knuckle-dragging, traitorous-flag-waving cavemen.

There is a Huey P. Newton Gun Club in Texas and there should be versions in every city, town, village and hamlet. If these racists want to ride through Black neighborhoods looking for trouble, I hope they find it.

[nxylas]

20. But who are the real racists?

The yahoos with confederate flags screaming about killing n****rs? Or the president and attorney general who insist on being so "divisive", if you catch my drift? PHEEEP, here Fido!

21. Assholes like this should be crushed, but they get a slap on the wrist if even that. IMO they

are terrorists. We need to redefine in this county what terrorism means. We have lots of terrorists running around this country, verbal and physical, and they are free to do whatever the fuck they please. These assholes are so symptomatic of what is wrong with America.

[peacebird]

22. Sickening. It was a childs birthday party. Good gawd, how tiny are these pricks dicks?

Seriously. "Heritage not hate" my ass.

Disgusting.
