Cancelled Xmas Parades over threats?

outraged pantywaists who want to ruin everybody's fun if it so much as suggests it might not outright hate a Christian holiday. Like coyotes, they're meek when alone - but let a few of them start working together and they'll gang up on anything they think they can without catching too much pain thrown their way.

disclaimer - I don't go to church and i'm not religious, but it's hard to miss the bs that's going on.
 
It wont be to much longer, july 4th, thanksgiving and Christmas will be celebrated quietly amongst close relatives, secretly behind closed doors of very few
 
72 years of tradition cancelled because of the threat of violence from "outside" "professional" groups. Doesn't this classify as terrorism? And what of the message we are sending to the children? A time of peace and goodwill among men? Why let them hijack it? By cancelling, they win. Don't let them win.
 
So, any other group and they want to ratchet up police presence to ensure safety. SCV and they suddenly think it's better to cancel even though they have never been a problem. I'm getting about sick of this garbage. Should have been all hands on deck and handled anybody that caused trouble by rounding them up. Or let some of the locals handle it. Or are there any locals left in Wake Forest and Garner? At some point there is not much difference between not standing against them and standing with them.
 
Until a few towns have the damned balls to cause a memorable event for these outsider POS’s, they’ll continue to be more emboldened.
Parades gone, statues gone, memorials gone, history rewritten then repeated.
Who are these pro agitators? Soros luddites, groups of ‘teens’?

Half jesting, so the terrorists have learned how to use the senate filibuster? They declare their intent to “protest” and it’s enough to shut things down. Just claim you’ve got 200 folks being bussed in, er I mean 200+ locals ready to make their voices heard.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at the auxcomm training and Mike Robeson came in and talked to us. He mentioned the disturbances being caused by outside agitators. They know who they are and they’re smart enough to not do anything actionable themselves but they incite others to act.

:mad:
Infiltrators need to be employed.
They’ll raise hell about a 100+ year old statue honoring those that perished in Chatham Co. but not a peep about the water that’s poisoning them now.
 
All I got to say

2 Timothy 3:1-7 - But know this, that in the last days a critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power;b and from these turn away. 6 From among these arise men who slyly work their way into households and captivate weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, 7 always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.
 
I call BS, publish the “credible evidence” or stfu. For all we know, it’s really a budget problem.
 
Stupid "issues" lead to stupid questions, so here's mine.

If the issue was SCV's participation, why didn't the organizers just go to SCV and ask them to not participate?

They'd be "doing it for the children".

Because their lawyers said they can't without opening them up to litigation. It's everyone or no one...

If organizers asked, SCV would voluntarily agree. They, unlike other parties involved, are Southron gentlemen.

Because, you're still letting the protesters win. They shouldn't have to ask and SCV shouldn't have to comply. They actually have positive history with the parade. As for the children, what message are you sending then? It's ok to be bullied? Just do what the bullies want?

Let me clarify. My point was that there was a way to avoid cancelling, but the organizers didn't take it.

Yes, we are negotiating with terrorists; that's nothing new. It's #1 in our playbooks.

Yes, the protesters would win. They have been winning every skirmish for some time.

We can discuss the specific issue or we can discuss the root cause. The two have elements in common, but one is a tactical perspective, and the other is strategic.
 
These days "white supremacy groups" are what they call anybody who voted for Trump, and sometimes just plain old folks who disagree with them.
It's SCV, because they entered a float in the two parades. It's part and parcel of the divisive de-structuring of society, and the South is a primary target for more thsn one reason.
 
Here's an underlying sub-issue to further stir the pot:

Given the propensity of the police/government bureaucracy to consciously and deliberately refuse to intervene against ongoing violent 'protest' by these types (e.g "antifa"), would you trust .gov assertions that they would proactively "protect and serve" in the face of globalist-funded communist agitation at the parade?

They're pretty vague but:

his department received "credible information" that a group that planned to show up grew in number from fewer than 10 participants to 200 or more.

Without any detail it could be anything. My own biases suggest they're playing chicken little and hiding from a Facebook group, but they didn't tell us the details. I won't criticize their decision based on the little information I have.
 
are there any locals left in Wake Forest and Garner?

Not that it isn't descriptive of today, or mankind throughout the ages, but I think the real context here is in regard to false teachers.

So name them. Who's the credible threat? What's wrong with naming outside agitators, left or right who want to disrupt normal life in a town they don't even live in? Instead they just claim it's some nebulous threat. Let the public decide if there's a threat here or if this is political theater. And if there's a threat, let the public deal with it.

Like I said earlier, not standing against them can be the same as standing with them. See Portland, OR. Might take some time to figure that one out in this case though.
 
Yeah it does make it smell funny when you withhold info like that.


Think that through... Who attends Christmas parades?
Children and old women?
Children are pretty scary and have zero conscience, and old ladies are too far over the hill to fear death or young pukes with bandanas. We simply let them loose and nature will take it's course. :p
