Yep. And they are out-reproducing the normal people in the USA. It’s a numbers game right now.

How has the klan not showed up to any of these BLM attacks? This is their time to do it.

Well first of all it helps if the Klan had a population over a few hundred and weren't spread across the country.
Not that the media gives a shite about that fact though. To them there's a white robe and hood hiding behind every tree.

The dead dumbass had a brand new, shiny AK47. He and a group of "protesters" approached a vehicle attempting to inch it's way through the crowd. The dead guy approached the car and raised the rifle. The driver of the car shot a few times, hitting and killing only the dumbass with the rifle.
From the article:

And that’s when this car on Fourth Street decides that they can’t wait any longer or that they just want to mess with us, I don’t know which. And he floors it, turning right down the street at us," Trahan said.
Trahan said that is when Foster confronted the car, before the shooting happened.
"Garrett Foster died protecting us, not just the protestors, all of us. He was out here, day in and day out," Trahan said.
I mean...these people are truly deranged. Actually sick in the head

Seems like a bunch of silly roleplay.

Good info. This is very interesting. Could you elaborate on it with some links to the facts about it reverting back to the original owners? I would like to share this with others.
I don't know about it reverting back to its original owners. That may be a myth. The Venable brothers owned it and quarried there. Sam Venable had ties to the klan and allowed them to perform ceremonies, including cross-burnings there. As recent as 2017, the klan asked to perform a cross burning there, but that request was denied. The UDC is largely responsible for getting the carvings done, but that is a long story. The guy who carved Mt. Rushmore was originally involved, but he did not complete the project. You could park a school bus behind Lee, on Traveler's rump.
In 2001, the state removed the stars and bars from the Georgia state flag, settling on a design that, curiously, looks a lot like one of the Confederate national flags. I guess that is what happens when you do not know your history. As part of changing the flag, a law was passed that basically says you can't tear down any monuments to the Confederacy or any military figures -- you can add to, but not change history. Here is an excerpt from that law:
(b)(1) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, or other entity to mutilate, deface, defile, or abuse contemptuously any publicly owned monument, plaque, marker, or memorial which is dedicated to, honors, or recounts the military service of any past or present military personnel of this state, the United States of America or the several states thereof, or the Confederate States of America or the several states thereof, and no officer, body, or representative of state or local government or any department, agency, authority, or instrumentality thereof shall remove or conceal from display any such monument, plaque, marker, or memorial for the purpose of preventing the visible display of the same. A violation of this paragraph shall constitute a misdemeanor.
(c) Any other provision of law notwithstanding, the memorial to the heroes of the Confederate States of America graven upon the face of Stone Mountain shall never be altered, removed, concealed, or obscured in any fashion and shall be preserved and protected for all time as a tribute to the bravery and heroism of the citizens of this state who suffered and died in their cause.
I live near Stone Mountain. I had an annual pass for many years and went over there several times a week to walk the dog, and sometimes to run a small boat. I've been all over that park. It gets a ton of visitors and is a very nice park. During the week, it's mostly locals who walk, run, and ride bikes around the base of the rock -- the road around it is seven miles long. A large number of the locals are black, as the demographics around Stone Mountain have changed a lot during the last 20 years. On the weekends, there are tourists from all over and there are good crowds to see the laser light show. It's a pretty area and interesting geologically. You have a great view of Atlanta from the top of it.
While there have been occasional demands to remove the carvings -- a non trivial task -- I'm not sure that many people paid attention to the carvings or the demands until recently. They just enjoyed the park no matter what color their skin was.

Doubtful. Not saying I want it to and not encouraging it but if it hasn't happened by now it is not going to. The "silent majority" is also the passive, inactive majority. The hoodlums have yet to be turned away by any of the majority. It could be a very peaceful outnumbering at one of these gatherings but yesterday there was more antifa, blm, prog liberal filth than anyone. The only people standing up for reason were inbred. Normal everyday people of all races need to stand up to these bitches at some point and until we do, they will continue to crap on our carpet.

You are on to something- thru all this b.s., the media gets the attention they crave and pat each other on the back about how easily they can create an agenda to stir up people into a frenzy. Meanwhile, your local politicians sit back and laugh while they keep getting rich off ignorant voters too busy fighting each other. The sad truth is less than a handful of politicians give a shite about 'the people'...

Pretty much has been eradicated. There are other groups to take its place.
SJWs and White supremacists have a hell of a lot in common.

Nah. He inched through them, never "floored" it. They got pissed when he honked his horn a few times and surrounded the car.
Hard to get away with a lie when there are multiple videos.

Best way to make change is to call your reps and senators non stop. Make them work for you.

Nothing more patriotic than killing your fellow citizens for possessing different views.
Possessing different views I can deal. That’s cool. Burning personal property down. Ruining people’s businesses trying to just earn living. Throwing objects at cops. That’s more than different views. That’s anarchy. That’s an enemy of this country. Terrorist. I can sleep just fine with someone killing domestic or foreign terrorist. Black lives matter. Yes they do. More importantly, all lives matter and these terrorist need to act like it.

Everyone believes their protests are just.
