Antifa Arrested For Wearing Masks At Nazi Rally In Georgia
2018-04-24
[Hot Air] HuffPost’s Christopher Mathias published a story last night about a very small Nazi rally in Georgia which led to the arrest of a few Antifa counter-protesters who refused to remove their masks.

Video from the scene, also shot by Mathias, shows that the Nazi rally itself was a pathetic gathering of maybe 30 people, none of whom are masked and all of whom should be ashamed to be this stupid:

Mathias reports that he saw one person from each side carrying a rifle, which is legal in Georgia. Here’s the anti-fascist guy:

What is not legal in Georgia, as mentioned above, is wearing a mask. Police warned protesters several times they would need to remove them or be arrested.
Emphasis added.

Masks are permitted one night per year in Newnan. This wasn't the night.

#7  Does this anti-mask law include those surgical masks that people wear in flu season?

#6  Masks illegal in Louisiana too, except Mardi Gras and Halloween. Same reason - masks historically hid the KKK.

#5  ...well, given the Klan and Antifa were/are bully boys for the same party, the law is working as intended.

#4  County Sheriff's department is competent and engaged. Deputies are all fit and strike me as ex-mil or Reserves.

Wear a mask to a protest, go to jail. Only the Left would find irony in applying such a law equally.

#1  Smallish Nazi rally planners remain 'on call' for the next Antifa mop up. Local restaurants provided excellent menus. OZ's gun shop on the square was pre-planned police rally point. A good time was had by all local and neighboring law enforcement participants. Local residents said to be proud of their police and first responder personnel.
