Stupid trump supporters in this group keep getting arrested. When Will trump supporters realize they're not above the law?
White Nationalist Group Linked to Charlottesville Violence Descends on Florida
League of the South, a neo-Confederate, white nationalist group, is holding their first major rally of 2018 tomorrow at the old Florida State Capitol building in Tallahassee.
Michael Hill, president of the group, announced the rally on their website earlier this month. These rallies have become flashpoints for violence in recent years, due largely to the growth of the kind of street-level politics that followed the rise of President Trump.
The group is no stranger to violence
Florida chairman of League of the South, Michael Tubbs, is an ex-Green beret that was believed to be involved in a number of brawls during ?Unite the Right.? SPLC suggested that Tubbs?s influence was to make the group much more of a militant street brawling gang, although it?s unclear that they will do anything on Saturday other than hold a public demonstration.
Tyler Watkins Davis, 49, a member of the group, was charged on Wednesday of this week by the FBI for beating 20-year-old DeAndre Harris at the Unite the Right rally. Harris was brutally beaten in a parking garage with pipes during the ordeal. Harris himself was charged in October with attacking a League of the South member from their North Carolina chapter. Harris?s attorney made an appearance on CNN in October and suggested that authorities were muddying the waters surrounding the story of his client?s beating. League of the South is supportive of Davis, regardless of the arrest.
?This is our boy,? Tubbs wrote of Davis on social media. ?He and his family will need our help.?
?Antifa? call them ?LOSers?
As you might imagine, there is no love lost between leftists and League of the South, given the violence that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia. Leftists refer to the group derogatorily as ?LOSers? on social media, a term that warps their initials into an insult.
It is unclear right now whether or not counterprotesters will be out in force to mobilize against League of the South, but if history is any indication, some antifascists or ?antifa? will likely be present.
