There are now unsubstantiated reports coming out that ANTIFA analogues are planning to burn Confederate flags and desecrate graves on social media sites and, because of this, counter-protesters are also being called into to gather. A post from Harrisburg100 claimed, “’AN-TIFA’ are planning on holding a rally at Gettysburg National Battlefield on July 1st in protest of President Trump and asks it’s members to ‘Bring and Burn Confederate Flags.”
A month ago, a post emerged of someone claiming that ANTIFA have an event planned for July 1, between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m., at the Gettysburg National Memorial Park cemetery. In the post the user says, “There is an event set up on Facebook that calls for the desecration of Confederate cemeteries on Confederate Memorial Day. Specifically, on Saturday, May 13, 3-6 PM, this group intends to target Old Marietta Confederate Cemetery. They intent to burn CBFs (Confederate Battle Flags) and/or urinate on graves. They also have an event scheduled for July 1st, 3-6 PM, at Gettysburg National MEmorial Park cemetery.”
The post continued, “Facebook hasn’t taken this event off their page. The group urges their followers to ‘find their local Confederate graves’ to desecrate.”
