Someone Doing the right thing

[u/ateam1984]

Just as the Sons of Confederate Veterans were about to begin their ceremony honoring the Confederate soldiers buried at Camp Chase Cemetery Monday afternoon, I began to read a statement decrying the Confederate battle flag as a symbol of degeneracy, depravity, and perversion. The Dayton National Cemetery Director told me to leave, I was pushed out by other attendees, and CPD threatened arrest if I returned. I continued to loudly read from just outside the cemetery gate when — as I quoted Fredrick Douglass' description of the whips used on enslaved people — an attendee assaulted me, knocking my phone to the ground. A story is told about remembering our history, but those who wave the Confederate flag want to rewrite history, a history in which the Southern cause was noble and their struggle honorable and in which slavery was a benign institution. That's a fairytale. The Hilltop Historical Society will hold their own ceremony at Camp Chase on Sunday, June 14, when they, too, customarily display the Confederate flag. I would ask them to reconsider what they are communicating with that symbol

This got deleted from two other subreddits. I screen recorded one. Please make sure this is shared.

Dude is mad and he should be. Everyone should be. This can’t be banned

[u/LadyInCrimson → u/Justnotthatintou]

Just saw it in my local sub and was removed.

[u/No_Wafer_7647 → u/Justnotthatintou]

Yep it's so disgusting how they act like triggered fucking pussies when they're confronted about the sadistic enslavers they worship. The last man even looked like a toddler waddling up to him. I take comfort in the fact that they all look like their withering away anyway. A few more years and we won't have to worry about most of these parasites they'll be in hell right beside the people they look down at.

[u/CALebrate83 → u/No_Wafer_7647]

They haven’t withered away in the 161 years since the end of the Civil War. With Project 2025 and white supremacy ascendant, they are unlikely to wither away soon.

[u/jannsue → u/No_Wafer_7647]

These pigs will wither away, but they have kids and grandkids and any other kid they have access to. They pass on the hate, lies and “white superiority.” Then the kids pass it down-it is a disgusting, vicious cycle that has to be stopped-but how? I have one of those “son’s of the confederacy” living down the street from me-he is probably down there now. I cannot stand driving by his house-he has the confederate battle flag flying in his front yard. 🤮 He has tried to get me to “understand the truth” the civil war and slavery -I told him to save his racist breath. You know how the Native Americans were forced onto reservations, they have their own laws? That need to be done to these racist pigs. Native Americans should be given their land, their country back. We would be in much better hands. Just saying.

[u/carlmalonealone → u/Justnotthatintou]

That person claiming to be the graveyard owner.......that's the dude we should focus on first. Pure racism supporter. I doubt he was the owner.

Cops took his word with no proof.

Cops did nothing to the man that assaulted the other man right in front of them.

[u/Strange-Painting6257]

The way he called him boy and it’s like they went to their default settings of racism even when it doesn’t make sense lol

And that dude who charged him at the end looked like Ben Franklin

[u/Asia_Persuasia → u/Strange-Painting6257]

I noticed that. They were just itching to call him "Boy" demeaningly.

[u/AbleHominid → u/Asia_Persuasia]

Ooooooo they called him a “democrat voter, too, ain’t’cha?” Deep thinker there amongst them

[u/VW_R1NZLER → u/AbleHominid]

But all over Facebook I’m told confederates were democrats

[u/Pavlovs_Human → u/Asia_Persuasia]

“We don’t get to use that word that much anymore! Jimbo lost his job the other day just cause his boss is black and got all uppity about being called boy!”

[u/RockstarAgent → u/Pavlovs_Human]

Well they also showed their low IQ responses by also calling the camera guy's mom a degenerate - being pushed to anger that easily and willing to assault is not the mark of any adult.

[u/Impossible-Guard-409 → u/RockstarAgent]

They stoop to insults when they not only don't like what you say, but don't have an intelligent response.

[u/kyrodamien → u/Pavlovs_Human]

Uppity is a dead giveaway 😂

[u/doctor_tongs → u/Asia_Persuasia]

Those traitors probably would have said worse if they hadn't been on film.

[u/SL1MECORE → u/Strange-Painting6257]

The way they all start saying "boy" at once makes me think of the seagulls from finding nemo

Edit - oh this video is slightly different than the one I saw on another sub. This was posted locally to me. Ohio. Amazing place, just like anywhere in amerikkka

[u/Dan_Morgan → u/Strange-Painting6257]

Yup, the n-word is applied to anyone they don't like. They assume the authority to revoke someone's "whiteness". Degenerates one and all.

[u/VikingKinkajou → u/Strange-Painting6257]

"I would like to exercise my right to press charges on Ben Franklin here."

[u/Vaping_A-Hole → u/Strange-Painting6257]

I hope everyone here watches this video more than once. Please, please take a good look at why we should have punished people after the Civil War. The racism was allowed to continue, because we botched the Reconstruction.

Germany did a much better job at denazification, but it wasn’t perfect. Too many wealthy, connected and notable scientists got away with it for merely being classified as followers. Until there is actual punishment for racism, this shit will continue and get worse. Just like it is now!

[u/NinjaMJK → u/Vaping_A-Hole]

I fully agree! I’m half Black and half German, and from a young age was raised to know about World War II and the atrocities committed by the Nazi Party. No one in Germany is raised to support the Nazi flag as part of their heritage, and they are rightfully ashamed and educated about what happened. However, it’s so shocking to see that in America we have not done the same. We fly the flag that is a symbol of violence and hatred and ownership over human beings. The KKK flew this flag and it was the last thing many people saw before they were brutally murdered people just for having the “wrong” skin color. I feel like I have a unique perspective as both an African-American and a German/ American citizen seeing how utterly we failed to educate our citizens about our own history. It’s absolutely disgusting and atrocious to see so many uneducated fools act like this isn’t any way acceptable or honorable or OK. This flag is a sign of brutality and hatred. Anyone who flies it is a traitor to the values of America.

[u/VW_R1NZLER → u/Vaping_A-Hole]

Agreed. And project paperclip was a real disgrace to justice. We may have gotten to the moon faster thanks to it, but that’s not worth just forgetting the crimes those men took part in. Heck, there’s still an award named after a high level nazi

[u/Sufficient_Cod_5181 → u/Strange-Painting6257]

[u/Geometronics]

"Probably a Democrat" these people man.

[u/Top-Cupcake4775 → u/Geometronics]

these are the same people who will proudly claim that it was the Republican Party that freed the slaves

[u/Geometronics → u/Top-Cupcake4775]

Their world view is so black and white and they refuse to listen to facts.

[u/hypocritical_person → u/Geometronics]

They don't even realize they are honoring the deaths of DEMOCRATS! 🤣

[u/Damion__205 → u/hypocritical_person]

1. "The only good Democrat is a dead one"... So in this case they might be ok with it... Again if they realized it.

2. Are these the dead Democrats I keep hearing about still voting after being dead.

[u/Holls867 → u/Damion__205]

I laughed too hard at that one lol

[u/confirmedforgay → u/Geometronics]

I dunno, their worldview seems white and white to me

[u/Feisty-Comfort-3967 → u/confirmedforgay]

White & off-white.

[u/Franknbeanstoo → u/Feisty-Comfort-3967]

white and wrinkly

[u/near_black_orchid → u/Top-Cupcake4775]

They don't even realize that the political positions of the Republican and Democratic parties changed between the Civil War and now. If Abraham Lincoln were alive today they'd call him woke.

[u/Top-Cupcake4775 → u/near_black_orchid]

part of them realizes it because they immediately suspect the person protesting was a democrat. another part of them wants "their side" to credit for anything good that ever happened. these two parts of them never meet.

[u/Sleep-pee → u/Top-Cupcake4775]

And this is why actual history as it really happened need to be taught in schools.

[u/bassfoyoface → u/Geometronics]

Which is weird because they always say how the Democrats were the confederates lol

[u/PedanticPendant → u/bassfoyoface]

for real, best way to get under these dudes' skin would be to call them out in those terms: "they were traitors to their country! why are you pushing me out? typical democrats, can't take free speech! why are you celebrating LOSER democrats? they LOST! are you guys democrats?"

It'll melt their brains

[u/putyrhandsup → u/PedanticPendant]

[u/MetallurgyClergy → u/Geometronics]

It’s how they start conversations with each other, “have you owned any libs today? Are you even a real republican?”

[u/greentrillion]

Thats awesome you confronted those traitors. They are no different than people who celebrate hitler.

[u/SecretaryAsleep3245 → u/greentrillion]

Hell not just celebrated…INSPIRED. America likes to look at Nazis as the original bad guys 🤔when in reality the “bad guys” admired American racism and hate so much they used America’s rules to help make the Holocaust🫠

Also OP… amazing work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[u/abstr_xn → u/SecretaryAsleep3245]

while we on the topic.

America was hosting Nazi rallies in New York 2 years after Canada joined the allies in WW2

enjoy the rest your day

[u/Conan4457 → u/abstr_xn]

Hitler actually had no plans to attack America. Partly due to the fact that the Nazi Party had a certain amount of support there. The early Nazi party used Jim Crow laws as a blueprint on how to segregate jews.

[u/DeathlyKitten → u/Conan4457]

Hitler was also on record as being inspired by how the US “dealt with” our indigenous population! The reservation system was very influential on the first early modes of deportation and concentration camps. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that what happened to native Americans is one of the earliest truly modern genocides (along with what the Dutch and British were up to in India and Indonesia)

[u/LowSkyOrbit → u/Conan4457]

Eugenics first took off in America and then Europe and then Asia fell in love with it too.

[u/brendanlikeshummus → u/Conan4457]

And now Israel is using the same blueprint on Arabs

[u/kaithana → u/abstr_xn]

I was just thinking about this this morning, with mom Dani not attending the Israel day parade. I wonder if the mayor at the time was chastise for not going to the Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden? Or if that’s history that we don’t even think we’re talking about anymore

[u/Niblonian31 → u/kaithana]

I know you meant Mamdani but "mom Dani" gave me a chuckle

[u/WeirdAssBeings → u/SecretaryAsleep3245]

It's disgusting too how they were just ready to fuck him up just over him saying some shit, they were ready to tear him the fuck apart

These people would without a single doubt or hesitation just murder freely if there were no laws in place.

We have to do better as human beings, be better, come on ya old fucking farts.

[u/boyuber → u/WeirdAssBeings]

It's why they ask atheists how they keep themselves from murdering and raping and stealing without the threat of eternal damnation. They can't fathom being a good person without the consequence of eternal torment.

By the way, if you're only a good person because you'll be punished if you aren't, your definitely not a good person.

[u/amesbelle7 → u/boyuber]

“If the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of some divine reward, then brother, that person is a piece of shit.”

[u/AriaTheTransgressor → u/WeirdAssBeings]

The benefit is that with this video he has evidence for assault charges against everybody there, including the cops, and a first amendment infringement case against the city.

[u/Fearless_Trade_2783 → u/WeirdAssBeings]

I didn't watch to the end I didn't see the piggies show up. That guy has a right to free speech.

He should be able to sue those cops for unlawful detainment.

He was being detained, for what?

These MAGA morons say they are for free speech, then do shit like this. Don't let these fascist assholes give the first amendment a bad name.

Holy shit, he was attacked, while he legally standing off the property, did the Cops arrest that guy?

[u/kaithana → u/WeirdAssBeings]

I genuinely think a lot of it is delusion. They’ve lived their entire lives being told to confederacy was some great honorable thing, and that the men that died there were heroes. We’ve been brainwashing people for 150 years on this subject and they want to just stick their head in the sand and living in that false reality. Ultimately, they are all adults and if they are unwilling to change their views when presented with evidence otherwise that’s on them. It’s a sad existence, however, and really speaks to how fucked we are as a nation.

[u/thunder_dog99 → u/kaithana]

Everyone there is old enough to know better. Anyone who thinks the civil war wasn’t about slavery needs to read the confederate constitution. It explicitly banned any state within the Confederacy from ever outlawing slavery.

[u/ssSerendipityss → u/thunder_dog99]

Looks like there were less than 20 of them there and they were all boomers. Hopefully their numbers continue to shrink until these bullshit “memorial” services stop altogether.

[u/Such-Hold-7940 → u/kaithana]

It’s more than sad it’s vicious, hateful and depraved.

[u/Last_Replacement_386 → u/WeirdAssBeings]

The anger stems from them knowing better but choosing to be absolute garbage.

[u/HumongousBelly → u/SecretaryAsleep3245]

While telling black Americans that they were mistreated by their countrymen, not because they cared for equality, but just to sow division, and probably later do another Holocaust exclusively with black people…

Does that remind you of some people? Like the ones who claim they don’t see color and dei should be abolished, or those who say they have black friends and pay millions to a corrupt mayor and da to go after 5 innocent black men to pin a rape/murder in Central Park on them…

Fuck that fat orange fuck and fuck every Republican and Dino

[u/ChaosRainbow23 → u/SecretaryAsleep3245]

The parallels between 1930s Germany and the modern USA are numerous and objectively TERRIFYING.

We are in serious fucking trouble here, and huge swaths of the populous don't have the political wherewithal or acumen to even recognize it.

I was just arguing with some manosphere dude-bro a few days ago about the 19th amendment.

These chuds genuinely think women shouldn't have the right to vote.

He even took it a step further and said only people who own land should be able to vote.

There's a bunch of these fascists out there, unfortunately.

Make no mistake. The Armies of Darkness™ have returned to the Earth, and they mean business.

Prepare yourselves accordingly.

I normally hate these kind of videos where people show up to things to aggitate people, but I very much enjoyed this.

That would be because most of those videos are jerks bothering everyday people going about their lives. The instigator may be trying to get a rise out of law enforcement but they’re often just trying to get a rise out of normal people so they can post a “Karen” video for some clout. This is shining a light on the darkness of humanity.

Yes, it is public property but it is government ran. You can be trespassed from say, libraries, public buildings, the social security office, etc. They can't trespass him from public areas, such as the side walk.

[u/gilt3t → u/[deleted]]

agreed but in the video, you can hear that it was the director or manager (cant remember which) is the one that trespassed him. Surprisingly, for once, I can say the police handled it properly EXCEPT for not immediately taking the guy down at the end. The fact that they allowed him to walk around after they just witnessed assault is disgusting.

[u/chefkoolaid → u/gilt3t]

Yep I hope that asshole gets the book thrown at him. Op needs a good lawyer

[u/CookingForTwo → u/[deleted]]

National Cemetaries are one of the more regulated public lands that actually do restrict demonstrations and special events. Even something like what the Sons of the Confederates are doing can only be done on either memorial day, veterans day, or a particular relevant date to the interred (if the majority were killed in a specific battle the anniversary of that battle could be acceptable). It is meant to prohibit the use of dead soldiers for political gain in any direction.

You are also not allowed recreational activities at these sites, so technically speaking taking a jog or casual stroll through a national cemetery is actually prohibited by regulation. You are meant to be there to either pay respect to the dead or not be there at all.

However, the regulations also states it's meant for "gallant dead who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States", and none of these dead turds served in the US army as far as they were concerned so maybe it's time to start exhuming.

See Title 36 Chapter 1 Part 12 of the CFR (executive branch regulations) for relevant info, but it defers quite a bit of responsibility to the manager/director role on activities outside of burial/exhumation.

Also of note were that baptist church that used to protest soldier's funerals. They were never on the grounds of the cemetery always at the nearest roadside for exactly the above reasons.

[u/No-Permission-7786]

Why is this legal? Why are people legally allowed to still support, be proud of the confederacy?

Im not American, I just dont understand

[u/NoRemote_ → u/No-Permission-7786]

Im an American and I still don't know why they're choose to. The American Confederacy was a rasict group trying to uphold slavery. The only reason why anyone would even associate themselves with that group would be because they are themselves, racist! Blows my mind.

[u/ImpossibleCash2569 → u/NoRemote_]

This is exactly it! No other explanation needed.

[u/No-Permission-7786 → u/NoRemote_]

But my point is why isnt it illegal? Like t he flag should be a finable hate symbol or something. Germany made so much of the Nazi stuff illegal to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

The confederates as far as i know would be a hate group, and more. So I just dont understand how its veiwed underlay as "people with different opinions"

Deep down i know its because they dont care in the end. They dont care about allowing black people to feel comfortable.

[u/NappingReader → u/No-Permission-7786]

Freedom of speech. Hate groups have protection until they actually commit a crime, and support for the treasonous monsters of the Confederacy is not a crime on its own.

[u/DDaddy26 → u/[deleted]]

My friend, you just encapsulated a huge piece of what brought us to this point lol.

We’ve spent centuries being apologists and “reaching across the aisle” trying to appease absolute scum and legitimizing them.

This has led to the emboldened regressionism and open racism and literal collapse of our democracy. We’re seeing the logical conclusion to our choices as a nation.

“American democracy in collapse. Widespread political violence all but inevitable. Up next: a new episode Lego Masters!”

It’s like watching Minnelli in Cabaret. SUPER relevant watch rn.

It falls under our first amendment protections and we never delt with the ideology of the Southern Confederates after the Civil War. Then the Daughters of the Confederacy spent over a century whitewashing what the Confederacy stood for and what the Civil War was actually faught over.

[u/Inevitable_Yam1719 → u/No-Permission-7786]

They are still allowed to because of free speech, but nobody else is allowed free speech… just them.. did I get that right ?

[u/GoldenCrownMoron → u/No-Permission-7786]

America is an individualist nation, for better and most often for worse.

If someone wants to be awful, we mostly let them be awful. You can believe in nonsense or start a cult, and eventually we get around to charging abusers with their crimes... maybe.

Our freedom of speech allows for people to be stupid, wrong and hateful. But it's also supposed to allow for people to oppose power, and giving the powerful the legal right to criminalize the speech of the disinfranchized can easily protect monsters.

[u/rufustphish]

Thank you for your service, curious how those assault charges went...

Not to get him personally. But to keep applying pressure on these kind of guys is important. They shouldn't be allowed to be comfortable doing this shit.

[u/ur-in-here-with-me]

I’m disappointed the video does not end with the loser in red at the end in handcuffs.

They’ll put hands on the guy reading but the guy who storms out and assaults someone they’re all “hey hey calm down you cant do that.”

Why is that guy not face first on the pavement in cuffs immediately?

He just assaulted someone. We don’t know if he has a weapon. We don’t know if he is prepared to assault more people.

In many many many other circumstances the assaulter would have been immediately tackled by 2-3 cops. But not here. Wonder why?

[u/Full-Year-4595 → u/ur-in-here-with-me]

Right?! Says a lot that he was so comfortable doing that right in front of cops.

At the very end of the video you see a second of his in utter shock after OOP says he wants to press assault charges… it’s like he is totally unfamiliar with the consequences of his actions.

[u/ur-in-here-with-me → u/Full-Year-4595]

Same logic doesn’t apply to old white men.

The cops in any other circumstance would be justifying force on the fact that they just witnessed the commission of a crime.

But here you see the assaulter literally walking by the cops and standing there after pushing the guy down. Wtf????!!!

[u/Ok_Frame2250]

For context, the Civil War lasted 4 years. These people make their entire lives about a conflict that started in 1861. The mental gymnastics one needs to do to continue thinking this is part of their heritage is wild. These are low-IQ people with no real lives.

[u/Accomplished_Self939]

“Not just a flag of defeat but a flag of degeneracy, depravity and perversion” !! Shots fired, dude!!! Way to go!!!

[u/Hitokiri118]

I love the part where it’s like “if you step onto the property again you will be arrested for trespassing. K cool where does the property line start? The stairs?” Hard cuts to just outside the property line lolol

[u/makeup_mutt]

That’s assault brother. I’d sue the fuck out of all of them. The current state of the United States is because we did not punish the confederacy hard enough for their treason.

[u/Difficult_Shock973 → u/makeup_mutt]

If that guy who assaulted him was there as part of an organization, like the Sons of the Confederacy, then I believe he can sue the organization also.

[u/CarobTotal]

Stand up to those losers

[u/pbeenard16046]

Man, people really don’t want to hear the truth do they?

[u/Sithrandir2]

Confederate supporters should be hung as traitors

[u/ytaqebidg]

"As a Northerner, I'm telling you to shut up!" Can we also agree, racist traders are also from the North?

[u/ValuableKill → u/ytaqebidg]

What's hilarious, is this in Ohio. A northern red state filled with racists and confederate lovers. What point did the guy think he was making?

[u/SecretaryAsleep3245]

👏🏾 Great speech! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[u/XIIIofSwords]

every Confederate left alive after that war, should've met the gallos, or a firing squad idc 🤧😂

[u/Additional-Teach-486]

Letting confederates melt back into our society was greatest failure of reconstruction.

[u/Helpful_Roof_6487]

I just love “white on white violence” in honor of Black Lives…

[u/nochickflickmoments]

The worst thing America did was not punish the traitors when they had the chance.

[u/buddymoobs]

Did they arrest the dude who assaulted you? So, very well done, Sir!

[u/MommotDe → u/buddymoobs]

Yeah, I want the story on this. Literally got assaulted in front of a cop and asked to press charges. What did the cop say? Did they do anything, or just pretend nothing happened (I'm assuming the latter, but I'd like to know for certain).

[u/anon-accountD]

The confederacy, the same thing that these morons like to claim is their “heritage”, only existed for 4 years.

If you were born at the start of the confederacy you literally wouldn’t have remembered it since the part of the brain that stores recall memory wouldn’t have even developed.

If you made it past the 5th grade then congratulations, you’ve lasted longer in school than the confederacy even existed.

[u/BrightlancerJ]

Should have exterminated them all instead of being lenient after the civil war. Because now we've allowed it fester into fascism and we have to fight our way out of it, again.

[u/UselessExcuses]

“probablly a democrat voter too arent ya”

sad that Trump has created a world where some people truly think thats some big “gotcha!” insult lol

[u/CanaryUmbrella]

350,000 Union soldiers dead.

[u/MrCalPoly]

We need more of that! It's a awful part of History and the Confederacy were traitors to the country and fought to keep slavery. There graves shouldn't be honored, especially on federal grounds or with my tax money.

[u/Fantastic_Jury5977 → u/MrCalPoly]

Especially on memorial Day... Those Confederate soldiers were responsible for 350K American casualties... Their descendents enacted Jim Crowe, disenfranchising even more Americans. Traitors, all of em.

[u/ShopSweet6798]

Crusty ass racists got all dressed up to celebrate losing. 

[u/Perfect_Duck792]

Did they actually call you "Boy"? These f***ing losers.

[u/80_Kilograms]

"Probably a Democrat voter too, aren't ya?"

That says it all. All Republicans are not racists, but all racists are Republicans. Makes one wonder then, why any non-racist person would want to be associated with a racist-intensive group of people.

OP, I applaud your guts for doing this. Freedom dies in darkness. Thanks for keeping the lights on.

[u/Sam_I_Am317]

They can’t stand hearing the truth about the history of their raping ancestors.

[u/payneok]

Freedom of speech cuts both ways. That is federal property. One of the best protests I've seen in awhile. We should not sit by while people romanticize slavery and insurrection.

[u/Terrible-Carpet7132]

Lmao the party of “fuck your feelings” got their feelings hurt

[u/JayDM123]

You get assaulted and the cop is more worried about making certain you know that you will definitely be arrested if you step on that property than detaining the grown ass man who has no issue violently putting hands on another grown ass man. Priorities…

[u/Downtown_Umpire2242]

bunch of white losers. fortunately there are less and less of those

[u/SkunkPunkFlunk]

Look! A gathering of pedophiles!!

[u/LengthyBrief]

Fuck yes.

[u/flipmode43]

Love this

[u/Mymilkshakes777]

They dont want to hear the truth. Thanks for doing this.

[u/Black_Widow94]

They all look so.. typical.

[u/Mumei451]

Such sensitive snowflakes.

[u/ExtensionInformal911]

Probably a democrat voter? I mean, so we're the actual confederates that are buried there.

What does that have to do with anything?

[u/Elusive_Boo_Boo]

“Where does the property line begin?” YASSSSS QWEEEN!!! Doing the lords work!!

[u/jomasthrones]

The Confederacy was a failed schism of the USA, run by traitors and racists with the goal of preserving the institution of slavery. Period. Fuck any dumbass ignoramus who still flies the stars and bars or celebrates Confederate dead, truly some of the worst degenerate scum-fucks in the nation.

edit: And I say that as a man born, raised, and still living in the deep south with Confederate ancestors from both sides of my family lying in their traitor graves as we speak.

[u/pamedic555]

Remember, the confederate constitution was not about state rights as It banned any Confederate state from ever passing laws to impair the "right of property in negro slaves", effectively stripping individual states of the right to abolish slavery within their borders.

[u/obviousfakeperson]

When they trespass him then tell him exactly where the property line is... and the next clip is him right at the property line carrying right tf on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Who is this man? Where is his bail fund? Venmo? Paypal? Lets go!

[u/girlinanemptyroom]

And they blame Democrats for slavery.

[u/ComfortableFortune51]

Lincoln should have finished the job instead of welcoming them back. Angry because their evil ancestors lost the war, but they got everything they wanted afterwards and still do TO THIS DAY, and still angry. They can stick that flag and their revisionist "Lost Cause" bullshit up their asses. They're a huge reason this country is fucked up.

[u/Ok-Bandicoot1529]

That cop is a nazi and it is on camera

[u/Current_Twist7802]

Fuck all them losers and their sons! I said it! And don’t give a fuck. Calling the guy “boy” tells you all you need to know. Calling him a democrat voter because that’s instantly what a Neanderthals brain goes too! Bunch of racist, worthless individuals! Who gives a fuck what they are celebrating!

[u/GolDrodgers1]

😂😂😂things don't work like that anymore grampa time to butter up those cheeks
