This could turn out funny. I'd love to see a bunch of antifa punks try to assault a formation of guys carrying Enfields with civil war bayonets attached to the muzzle...
They’re not going to need reenactments much longer if the anarchists keep this up.
There's a reason my tagline is an Orwell quote...
“OMG! They played “Dixie”? Get out the smelling salts and fainting couches someone must have had the vapors”
The night that Lee surrendered, Lincoln gave a short speech at the White House. He then ordered the band to play “Dixie”. It was his favorite song.
I suppose Lincoln will be a target in the future if he hasn’t been already.
Pretty amusing, threatening people who are all carrying rifles (with fixed bayonets), many with sidearms.
Sure, they're all shooting blanks now, but that can change with one reload.
The over reaction to Confederate flags by Nikki Haley in SC is what started this.
If liberals went after muzzies after 9/11 and Orlando and that office in CA the way liberals have gone after our cultural heritage because some nut was photographed wearing a T-shirt with a Confederate flag then shot up a church, we’d never have to deal with muzzies in the US again. But, we can’t be hurting their feelings now, can we? Plus it’s hate speech even to bring it up.
The American Left’s really gone off the rails these past two years. You think about all their hysteria over Civil War statues or transgender nonsense, all of it is a recent phenomenon with them.
Man. We'd need a 2X12 for this bunch...
“We wanted to send a message,” said Keith MacGregor, 56, from Lebanon, Pa.’
I have participated in a number of Cedar Creek reenactments with an outfit from Lebanon, probably the same one this guy is from...a uniquely lovely setting, in the shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains; we generally had a predawn tactical, and I remember how mesmerizing the sound of ‘troops’ rustling through the high grasses was, with the tin cups clinking, and the leathers creaking, and the absence of any other modern sounds...
My great grandfather fought for the union in this battle. Mr. Mercat and I were there 17 years ago. General Sheridan road up on his big black horse and told us the best place to stand. It was awesome!
I drove through Middletown VA yesterday afternoon, and there was an American Flag, alternating with a Confederate flag, every 50 feet, on either side of the street, all the way across town.
They do this during the re-enactments at Cedar Grove. It is not to glorify the Confederate flag. It is history.
What’s completely suspicious about this is the blocking of information about this case. No description from the FBI or local cops of either the “device” or the outsiders seen at the location where the device was found.
Why the blackout?
I read the Washington Post account, and the whole time I was thinking that the WP was disappointed that the event wasn’t cancelled. We all know that the WP and others give their full support to the terrorists of Black Lies Matter and Antifa.
I would be happy with a 10-20 year sentence for the terrorist who issued the threat. I’d also be happy if the police just ended it for him.

The problem with CW2 is it’s going to be a challenge to produce an entertaining public re-enactment of the “Midnight Sniping of Professor Snowflake Antifa of the Sodomy Studies Department at SJWU”.
