Reported gun threat ends Charlottesville to D.C. protest walk early

STAR-EXPONENT STAFF 45 min ago

A report of an armed person put an early halt to Wednesday’s March to Confront White Supremacy before it reached its end location, according to event organizers.

“The decision to stop the march early was in the interest of protecting the marchers, all of whom are marching to demand the removal of white supremacists from the administration, and policies that uplift white supremacy,” according to an event Facebook post Thursday morning.

The post said the threat indicated the person with the gun was going to be waiting for them at a McDonald’s along U.S. 29 in Madison County.

the police neutralize that threat with a gun? Fuck this shit. The police and the 'threat' just as in charlottesville, working hand in hand. But hell a lot of them are white supremacist racists so I am not surprised....

A little too much info to be legit. But better be careful and proceed with caution but never give in.
