Thread re: rumors of extremist recruitment in Pittsboro.

Richard Sherman is one of the recruits. He’s the man all the bigots want: he's a 6’3+, 280+ lbs, early 20s white man who shows up to events & he's collecting memberships.
Sherman’s first big rally in Pittsboro was Oct 5. He wore a motorcycle vest with a large @AmericanLegion Riders back patch and pin.
After the event, he claimed Jessica Reavis recruited him into the LeagueOfTheSouth.
UCCV (United Confederates of the Carolinas & Virginia) is a project of NC resident Woody Weaver Jr, also "Saber Dawgs"; he's been publicly calling for neoConfeds unity since at least mid-Aug.
Weaver flew the LOSer flag on his truck’s flagpole, Oct 5.
Oct 5, Sherman & Dixietarian / Carthage Town Commissioner Chris Nance rallied under the LOSer flag.
Sherman wears a Dixietarian (he called it TaxationIsTheft) pin w/ his @AmericanLegion Riders pin.
He also believed Dixietarian to be pro-secession 👀
Oct 12 & 19, Sherman and several Hiwaymen attended the events. The morning on the 19th, Doug Sweet said LOS was on location & then introduced Sherman to Billy as a “possible recruit."
HeirsToTheConfederacy also attended events on the 12th & 19th.

Sherman joined the heirs Oct 27.
This was his first post:

👀Steven Triplett has also (re)joined HttC.
Sherman’s FB declares he works at McDaniel’s Landscaping in Pittsboro.

He claims his employer supports both Dixietarians and LeagueOfTheSouth. We think the "ruin" he's referencing is re: saying his name in the Dixietarian vs Hiwayman thread here:
These DMs are from a convo Sherman hd w/ a single mother he tried to recruit. She wavered about attending the Oct 19 CSA2 event, he bullied her, she stood up for herself, he blocked her.

He said "protection" would be in Pboro on the 19th, the same day LOS was rumored to attend.
Bullying & threats of alienation are tactics that extremists use to recruit & keep attendance. If you don’t already feel isolated, they will help you feel that way so it feels like all you hv is them. In effect, that community becomes your power.
Forgot this no-white-guilt comment of Woody Weaver Jr's re: UCCV.

WhiteGuilt has also been a broken record topic for Weaver:
