1. Here are a few takeaways from, & initial analysis regarding, the #Shelbyville/#Murfreesboro white supremacist events in Tennessee today.
2. Early estimates suggest as many as 200 white supremacists showed up, inc. neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan grps, alt right adherents & others. We
3. will analyze evidence from #Shelbyville to get better estimate but we had predicted around 200 would show up, so we may have been close.
4. White supremacist groups w/largest visible presence were League of the South, Traditionalist Worker Party & National Socialist Movement.
5. White supremacists brought a variety of uniforms, racist signs and symbols, and riot shields, but police made them leave weapons behind.
6. Racist/anti-Semitic messages displayed/chanted at Shelbyville included "Jews will not replace us!" and "Stop Southern Cultural Genocide."
7. White supremacists cancelled #Murfreesboro event claiming "victory," but they were running late & would have had hardly time to rally.
8. One organizer, white supremacist Brad Griffin, claimed the #Shelbyville event got them past Charlottesville, which was an allusion to the
9. avalanche of bad publicity & condemnation that white supremacists justly received after #Charlottesville. But #Shelbyville didn't get
10. the white supremacists "past" anything. Rather, the citizens of #Shelbyville, #Murfreesboro & Tennessee united against their hatred.
