League of the South Announces Formation of ‘Southern Defense Force’

Edging closer to militancy, the neo-Confederate League of the South says it's forming a force to combat the 'leftist menace to our historic Christian civilization.'

In a military-styled order titled “Directive 02022017,” Michael Hill, president of the neo-Confederate League of the South (LOS), announced Friday the formation of a new vigilante “defense force.”

[T]he League of the South is calling for all able-bodied, traditionalist Southern men to join our organization’s Southern Defense Force for the purpose of helping our State and local magistrates across Dixie combat this growing leftist menace to our historic Christian civilization. As private citizens in a private organization, we will stand ready to protect our own families and friends, our property, and our liberty from leftist chaos. Moreover, we will be ready to assist our local and State authorities in keeping the peace should they find it necessary to “deputize” private citizens for that purpose.

The following is a rundown of several League of the South state chairmen and leaders across the Southeast who are expected to play a role in the upcoming Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally organized by local blogger Jason Kessler this coming Saturday, August 12.

Isaac “Ike” Shelby Baker

Identified by Michael Hill as the “Commander of the Kentucky Southern Defense Force (SDF),” a Facebook profile apparently belonging to Isaac Baker, 57, describes him as a United States Marine Corps veteran and past employee of CSX Transportation from Harlan, Kentucky.

<snip>

As the right has been organizing around “Charlottesville 2.0” in earnest, Michael Hill posted in the League’s Facebook group that he wants “no fewer than 150 League warriors, dressed and ready for action, in Charlottesville, Virginia, on 12 August.”

Baker responded by issuing directives on the League’s uniform dress code and has since actively encouraged membership to attend the event, and advised them on tactics and equipment in expectation of conflict.

Sez it all there. They came to make trouble, not peacefully protest.

Been telling DUers that these racists rats aren't from Charlottesville but from some other southern states.
