THREAD: On Saturday, militia activists marched to the GA State Capitol where they joined forces with Trump supporters holding a "Stop the Steal" rally.
The militia groups included Chris Hill's GA-based "III% Security Force" and Eric Braden's TX-based "Southern Patriot Council."
The militia groups rallying outside the GA Capitol were confronted by Atlanta Antifa, who led with a shield wall and were armed with semi-auto rifles and at least one shotgun behind it.
Police kept the sides separate.
"Go home to fucking your cousin!" one yelled.
Antifa raised their fists and chanted "fists up, fight back!"
Three women on the right-wing side got on their knees and prayed. "Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil."
Eric Braden, an organizer of the militia rally, told my freelancer Joey Pluto that the Biden family is a "criminal family."
"The situation we're in is a situation of treason," he said. "There's only one punishment for treason."
"The punishment for treason is death."
Eric Braden led the militia and "Stop the Steal" activists in the constitutional oath taken by elected officials and soldiers.
In his speech to the crowd, Eric Braden called on the government to form a "war tribunal" to weed out "treason."
He said that a civilian tribunal should be created in its place if the government doesn't comply.
He also reiterated that treason yields "the penalty of death."
Atlanta Antifa mocked the right-wing side from behind a line of Georgia State Troopers.
"[III%SF leader] Chris Hill, where you at my man? We wanna see! Get an OnlyFans, we will subscribe to it!"
"Come on over and share it, pussy!"
After some commotion, the rallies dispersed.
When the militia groups returned to the parking garage they marched in from, they discovered their vehicles had been tampered with and tires popped.
They attempted some repairs/replacements and filed a police report before leaving.
Here is the full @N2Sreports video summary of Saturday's armed militia rally and antifascist counter-protest in Atlanta, filmed by my contributor Joey Pluto.

PHOTOS I captured last night: After looting a #BlackLivesMatter banner from Asbury United Methodist Church, the Proud Boys pose with it before setting it on fire outside Harry's Bar in Washington DC.
Earlier in the evening, Proud Boy argued with police who faced them with riot shields as antifascist activists stood behind.
From earlier in the day: Proud Boys were a large aspect of the "March for Trump." Many wore the standard outfit of a black and gold-rimmed shirt (and plate carrier) but others added accessories like a gorilla outfit, kilts, and Burger King paper crowns.
My clip of Nick Fuentes getting Trump supporters to chant "destroy the GOP" went viral. Here's more.
He says he no longer identifies as a Repub, but a Trump supporter & nationalist that will only "vote for Republicans that support an end to all legal and illegal immigration."
Fuentes was very clear about his intentions: Saying that he feels his group isn't represented by senate Republicans, he explicitly encouraged Trump supporters to sit out the Georgia election to throw it to Democrats.
Tonight Proud Boys roved through Washington DC looking for "antifa" to confront, and police generally tried to stop them.
In one incident at K and 14th, police tried to form a line between them and an antifa group, but PB's got by and began exchanging water bottle throws.
As Proud Boys approached antifa, MPD maced the Proud Boys to hold them back.
Water bottle throwing over the police's heads continued, one hitting my camera and causing a piece to fall off (which I found! - no problem), until police pushed the antifa group in the other direction.
As Proud Boys continued to pursue antifa, police struggled to stay in the way.
One PB said his "freedom of travel" was being infringed before saying "fuck em" and flanking around.
One PB had a pushing match with a cop, while another toward the end of this clip was arrested.
VIDEO THREAD: A coalition of anti-communist Asian-Americans, conservatives, and Trump supporters gathered Thursday afternoon in front of the United States Capitol to demand congress designate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a "Transnational Criminal Organization."
"CCP is eradicating our culture, religion, and our very own existence," said Arif, a member of the Uyghur community.
"Today hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs and other Turkic people are being used as slaves by CCP," he said.
Prime Minister of East Turkistan Government in Exile @ETExileGov (a body representing the nation that would be East Turkistan, which China considers part of itself) @SalihHudayar said that China is a "threat to the entire world" and cited the "CCP virus" (COVID) as an example.
