After that fight, another one started with two older people. Again, while no shots were fired, the presence of long guns being held by people actively involving themselves in fights involving fists and sticks was dangerous, to put it plainly. pic.twitter.com/czJsZsYl1M
After that fight, a smoke grenade landed in the right wing side. The protesters basically threw it, along with rocks, back and forth for the next minute. pic.twitter.com/vC5HlxxO6p
Some right wingers just left altogether at this point.
As one left, someone threw a water bottle at the car, and another kicked it, denting it.
An armed Confederate guy then claimed "You don't want peace, you want to die. That's assault on a home. That's death right there." pic.twitter.com/ocvabW7IsF
After approximately five hours of on-and-off violence, the police decided to step in.
Police Chief Chancey H. Troutman of Stone Mountain PD led lines of riot cops to clear the streets by pushing both sides in one direction. pic.twitter.com/08SXvaCRVV
The police line pushed a black-bloc-clad activist with a shotgun right toward some III% guys. III% leader Chris Hill kept his hand on his gun, as both he and shotgun guy tried to convince police the other was a threat. pic.twitter.com/jBHFdjYcGc

Here is my full HD summary video of the action that occurred at #StoneMountainGA today. As always, all footage available for license.https://t.co/AKA51mDJnR
Yesterday, police waited during approximately five hours of fighting, sometimes turning bloody, before moving in, deploying mace on the crowd at least once.
I know there was violence in India, but i'll still take the legacy of Gandhí over either Lincoln's or Robert E. Lee's. 2 sides looking for a fight are gonna find a fight.

It appears the planned civil war re-enactment will be diluted by God's will--rain?
Edited to change "Civil War" to "civil war" as this particular re-enactment could be more like, say, the Spanish one than the American one?

Guerra civil, but they just say, "la Guerra" and everybody knows.
Well, you'd probably have to explain it to the Americans.

comes to mind this sort of thing could serve as a replacement for professional sporting activities for some of the deprived?

then comes to mind: did anyone mention yet that there are very fine people on both sides here?

Armed white guys playing soldier, some with Confederate paraphernalia. Not the type of people you want in charge. They scare everybody.
One guy uses the word Lib-tards. Hilarious. Hope they don't shoot themselves.

Blow by blow kayfabe. Both sides did do it, I don't see much evidence of very fine people, though:
