Snowflakes acting badly
 
NEWTON, NC (WBTV) -
A man was arrested Thursday after police say he pepper sprayed Confederate Veteran re-enactors during the 2017 Soldiers Reunion parade in Newton.

Officers say around 5:34 p.m. they got a report that a man was following the re-enactors who were participating in the parade. The report states when the re-enactors would stop to discharge their weapons, the man would discharge his pepper spray.

When police got to the scene the suspect was pointed out and arrested without incident.

Karl Smith, 56, was charged with two counts of misdemeanor assault and released on a written promise to appear by a magistrate.

Police say they seized a small canister of pepper spray from Smith, as well as a .38 caliber revolver for which he had a conceal carry permit.

The victims were treated by EMS at the scene and released.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans were one of about 200 groups participating in the parade.

Wow...hadn't occurred to me that there were still Confederate Civil War
re-enactors. Do they parade up to Wilmer MacLean's house and surrender
over and over and over?

Hey, do you have any good stories about Wilmer? Surely you two were good buddies back then.

No, but I misspelled his last name...it is McLean, not MacLean. I've
seen his grave in an historical cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia.

They''ll be coming soon to topple the lawn jockey
in Krause's
front yard. I wonder if the racist pig will put up a
fight.


Sorry, but I had to fire your kid...he did a lousy job holding up the
lamp, and he never bathed.

Harry probably thinks that only Union soldiers are 're-enacted' when one occurs at Gettysburg.

Oh my goodness...both sides are represented. How horrid. Must allow only one side to be represented.

I do agree with Harry somewhat although not about the same thing.

The reenactors are sort of old fart cosplayers. I don't understand
*those* reenactors, either. You'd think Halloween would be enough.

Agree with him about what? That only Union soldiers should be represented at a reenactment?
