One video clip showed a leader of the demonstrators, who was not identified, shouting into a loudspeaker in a challenge to white supremacists who historically have used Stone Mountain as a rallying spot of their own. “It’s a public park, a state park. We have these protests on both sides of the issue from time to time. We respect people’s First Amendment right,” Bankhead told NBC affiliate station WXIA-TV.

Go and fix your neighborhood first...it was 24 shoot people over the weekend and 8th year old girl shoot dead same night
Thank you 2nd Amendment!!!
Most racist group of people in the country. Puts the KKK to shame
Excuse me, Ms KamalaHarris We can’t hear you
There is nothing peaceful about this protest. They were advocating for the destruction of yet another monument, along with taunting white militias. Rejecting the Constitution, rule of law and Republic is not what our 1st amendment rights were supposed to defend.
In other previous news, predominately white armed (i.e. rocket launchers, bazooka-type weaponry) protesters stormed a Michigan Capitol building to intimidate a FEMALE Governor's choice to prevent Covid-19 cases. They also demanded haircuts with their guns. Irony-virus©1HillKidd
They need to get rid of that confederate shit on Stone Mountain.
And? They also ran through halls of state houses.
OK, blacks only make 12.1% of Americans and they want to intimidate 61% of white Americans? That's like the Island of Nauru invading China. Even the Hispanics are surpassing them in America...
Why the distinction 'predominantly black'?
A group of strong, armed Americans peacefully protesting and making their voices heard. Plus most of them are wearing masks and had fantastic trigger discipline. What's not to like about this? It's the best things I've seen in 2020. We need more of it.
remember those who enslaved you and lost the war.
Trump getting what he asked for.
Bad idea.
Fight racism with racism is dumb. It's like fight terrorism with another terrorism... Neverend cycle. West society never learn, huh? Both Europeans n Africans seems like have discrimination blood in their vein. But not as thick as Indians.
Pls get message to them to get security & assume additional is really needed.
Just exercising their 2nd amendment rights because America right MAGAs?😅
These ignorant F’s are chanting black power.. if white people were doing this and chanting white power, black folk would be raising all kinds of hell. Have to love the double standard
