Posters promoting violence appear in North Carolina cities
DURHAM, N.C. — Posters spotted in North Carolina cities appear to advocate violence against anti-fascists.
Media outlets report that the signs recently began appearing in Durham and Chapel Hill say "hospitalize your local antifa scumbag." They also show three figures holding weapons. 2
The posters are likely related to the recent protests in Durham, where a confederate statue was toppled by protesters during a rally, and on campus at UNC-Chapel Hill, where hundreds of students and community members gathered to rally for the removal of the "Silent Sam" statue.
