Let’s do a little after-action report: the @afainatl had a pretty clear victory. No right-wingers showed up for “#RockStoneMountain” today.
Antifa had a victory march, and left-wing militia groups guarded the outside in case of ambush. None occurred.
No arrests. No violence.

With Stone Mountain closed today, #Antifa stood outside the visitor center and set fire to a KKK effigy.
@socialistdogmom lit her cigarette on the makeshift campfire.
The police basically did nothing the entire day, but came with a fire hydrant once antifa was done with this.

Plenty of antifa were masked up, which is an arrestable offense in Georgia.
Police gave them room to march without obstruction.
I don’t like to speculate, but antifa being heavily armed may have been in their favor.
No need to wade into armed opponents for a petty mask charge.

ANTIFA DECLARES VICTORY:
As the march concluded, a masked leader described how “the seeds of rebellion” were planted during the Berkeley, California Milo protests.
Now, they say, their movement has grown to the point where neo-confederates don’t show up to their own events.

I had a chat with @GoadGatsby at the end as well. You can see the full interview on the livestream, but here I asked him about the value of antifa showing up in physical space, and to respond to white liberals who take issue with an armed and masked left.
At a nearby park, the NAACP is now holding a rally of their own.

I'm back at my Airbnb, and importing the HD footage from everything now. Those clips should be a lot of fun.
To fellow journalists and everyone else out there: I just realized how dehydrated I got. It got dry and hot out there today. Drink some water.

Importing HD footage from the demo earlier. Nothing makes me happier than seeing that as a militia dude walked by me, he adjusted his muzzle direction so that it wouldn't point at my feet even for a sec. Frankly, I'd be less nervous at armed demos if all armed activists did this.
HD Footage: No Klan showed up, so antifa set fire to a KKK effigy in front of Stone Mountain Park's visitor center.
It turned out to be a sort of piñata, completed with antifa buttons inside.
Cops only extinguished it after antifa had their fun.

*ahem* *checks mic*
Communists, socialists and anarchists are not "liberals."
That's all.
