‘It’s really scary’: Small Tennessee city braces for firestorm of upcoming ‘White Lives Matter’ rally

The city of Shelbyville, Tennessee, which has a population of just over 20,000 people, is bracing for the firestorm that is sure to accompany a major white nationalist rally set to take place within its borders later this month.

Local news station Fox 17 reports that the planned “White Lives Matter” rally scheduled for October 28 is being used to protest refugees being resettled in central Tennessee. Residents of Shelbyville, however, insist that the white supremacists’ decision to stage a rally in their city is not a reflection of their community’s values.

“I’m not going to speculate on why they chose this community,” said Shelbyville resident Allen Pitner, who is the CEO of the Bedford County Chamber of Commerce. “Could be a logistics thing or something, but again they are in no way reflective of anything about our community.”

5. Wow, I've honestly never heard of "white lives matter"

Crazy fucking shit in this country.

I don't know what is so hard to understand about Black Lives matter. I don't know why people feel they need to try to counter them...and then invent the name white lives matter, which upon 2 seconds of thought, makes zero sense in the realm of the message BLM is sending. Maybe 2 seconds of thought and reasoning, as well as a little gentle empathy, is far too much to ask.

I used to think that if BLM instead called themselves "Black Lives Matter Too", then the message would be clearer to certain white people. But alas, after watching the NFL kneeling uproar...I'm convinced that no form of Black protest or opposition is acceptable to them, no matter what you call it, or how you do it.

That's because SOME white people are nazi degenerate fucking pricks. Instead of white people matter, they should call themselves NDFP.

6. A rally of obese goat faced morons making hitler salutes.

Many with criminal records.
They will be heavily guarded and chaperoned by local and state police, so counter protest is probably futile and dangerous in that shit place.

8. Actually, what we saw in Charlottesville, quite the opposite.

The real hate mongers we need to watch out for are young 20 something kids who don't get out of the house much. You know - the people who spend most of their time on /pol/ and illegally downloading movies and music. The Pepe The Frog idiots.

10. I think it's a horrible toxic brew of both kinds, and toss into the mix hard core

criminal homicidal maniac types like Kyle Chapman that spent years in prison weight lifting, spoiling for a fight.

13. They were the ones beating the shit out of people and using cars to kill. Make the old racist goats

proud of the next gen

15. I keep saying when you have an unfiltered hate machine going 24/7....

Don't be surprised if you get a new generation of Hitler worshipping young kids.

9. Give me a nickel for every confederate flag spotted.

Caps, T-shirts, bandanas, signs, pickup trucks. I could take the rest of the year off.

11. If it's a rally, President Moron might show up to address "his" people. nt

[lunasun]

12. I read it's being used to protest refugees resettled in the area . Simply Deplorable

[gratuitous]

14. These "rally" announcements are increasingly looking like Westboro Baptist announcements

Big show and hoopla about all the knuckleheads assembling in one place, only to have the organizers call it off because they couldn't get enough port-a-potties, or their tiny sexual organs hurt, or the sun got in their eyes, or some other lame excuse.
