Confederate battle flag group crashes birthday party, terrorizes black ... - Salon
Reports differ as to how the group “Protect the Flag” ended up camped out next to the child’s birthday party, according to police. Levi Bush, one of the men in the trucks, told police that his group was just innocently driving by when some of attendees at the birthday party began to yell at them and bombard them with rocks. Bush said he ran over a median trying to dodge a projectile and earned a flat tire for his effort. The other trucks pulled over to “support” their fallen comrade, at which point, Bush said, people from the birthday party approached them. Or, as one of the party attendees told police, members of “Protect the Flag” were yelling that they will “kill y’all n*ggers. Melissa Alford told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “one had a gun, saying he was gonna kill the n*ggers,” and another said “give me the gun, I’ll shoot them n*ggers. In the cellphone video below, police can be seen holding back party attendees as the trucks drive away, presumably off to fulfill their mission to “drive around and sell flags. ” Alford said she has no problem with the flag itself, only with the behavior of the people mounting it on their trucks.
