White nationalists plan another protest, Texas on September 11

[HAB911]

(CNN)Brace yourselves for Round 2: White nationalists are planning for another protest in September.

White nationalists, neo-Nazis and other extremist groups plan to hold a "white lives matter" rally at Texas A&M on September 11. Richard Spencer, the white supremacist who helped found the so-called alt-right movement, will speak at the event, according to the Battalion, Texas A&M's student newspaper.

The Battalion reports the Texas protest organizer, Preston Wiginton, was inspired by the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. That protest drew a large number of counterprotesters and turned violent. One woman was killed and dozens injured when police say a man with views sympathetic to neo-Nazis deliberately drove his car into a crowd.

1. That's half way between Houston and Dallas, both of which voted for Obama

and are enormous cities. However, with all the country rednecks also around that area protesters from each size could have huge numbers. Could get nasty real quick.

Looks like College Station is pretty conservative though. Brazos County: http://www.politico.com/2012-election/results/president/texas/

Side note. Houston barely voted for Obama. Dallas is a lot more liberal.

2. Why are they picking college towns?

3. Because they want to attack the left

which most college areas are.

These aren't rallies or gatherings they are nazi brownshirt street actions.

Look up what the nazis did in per-war Germany, same exact thing happening here.

4. I can assure you TAMU isn't a left-leaning campus

this is being done to minimize counterprotests, not to provoke them.

TAMU should tell them to F off.

9. It's a TAMU alum that is setting these up

His name is Preston Wiginton. He brought Richard Spencer to speak several months ago. Counter-protesters outnumbered redhats 5 to 1.

Big surprise. He's also a russophile and even traveled to Russia to "find a wife".

5. I really believe they are trying to start a civil war.

They will be in Boston next weekend.

6. That nazi shit in Charlotteville

7. Nope, Mayor Walsh has already told them to stay away.

And the police will be ready for them.
