1. This whole incident is hilarious in a rather horrifying way.

Seems like some guy claiming to be a representative of Antifa (which isn't an actual organization, but nobody seems to want to point that out) posted information about a flag-burning demonstration at Gettysburg, so a whole collection of RW shitbag wannabe patriot heroes showed up with their big guns but nobody was there and no flags were burned. Speaking of flags, I wonder if the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg are spinning in their graves on account of all the assholes that showed up there with their Confederate flags?
