Charlottesville, VA: Neo-Nazis Attempt Another Rally, Driven Out

On Saturday, May 20th, two spotters reported the beginnings of a Confederate rally in Lee Park in Charlottesville led by Jordan Lahown (Choctaw brigade sympathizer out of Lynchburg, has openly supported “death squads”), Derrick Davis, Andrea Batt, and Jason Kessler. It looked like they were waiting until Sundown to hold some sort of event. People mobilized quickly to the park to claim the space. Confederates left when they were outnumbered. Seemed like they were waiting to see if we would leave but we held the space until park closed at 11:00 (and after).

Kessler, Davis, Batt, and Lawhon then went to several local bars, apparently trying to get beers, our people followed. They went to Champion brewery and were immediately recognized and told to leave by the manager. They tried to go to C&O restaurant but seemed to leave quickly because they couldn’t get a seat. People then followed them to some tables on the downtown mall that aren’t associated with any bar that’s open at night (they’re used by a coffee shop) and hassled them til them left. Cops escorted Kessler away immediately (“for his own safety”), the others left shortly after.

“Hello? ZOG? Can you please send down several African-American police officers to protect me, this multi-racial crowd of local Charlottesville residents apparently doesn’t like neo-Nazis in their town!”

No platform last night in Cville, and no beers for white supremacists. They seem to have decided this is a place to converge regionally, we have a lot of education to do to make sure that is t allowed to happen.
