Pro-Confederate Rally on Richmond's Monument Avenue
Richmond Police Department to be congratulated for doing an exemplary job at the protest. Terrific crowd control, cops stern, but non-confrontational.
Counted about 30 Lost Causers, most of whom dispersed by about eleven. Funny how the only ones packing sidearms were the apologists for the Quashed Rebellion. Big men sporting guns. Sad group, really.
One told me: "We're armed to protect ourselves."
From what?
"Black Lives Matter."
Another seemed intent on stirring the pot, a flabby white guy without a shirt. Black guy wearing a Trump hat was justifying slavery.
Gathered some great sound for an audio piece. Stay tuned.
Proud of our city, proud of the counter-protesters.
White supremacists and Nazis are not welcome on our streets.
