Battle of Athens Tennessee 1946 - WW2 Vets defend LIBERTY with 2nd Amendment

Submitted by Mr. Kotter on Sun, 12/30/2012 - 14:32

A confrontation between the local sheriff and WWII veterans took place in Athens, TN in 1946 that we should ALL remember. A very sobering video to say the least. Now the second amendment is a little clearer.

Be sure to see the actual photos at the end showing the plaques describing the event.

This is so much like what we are going through now, no wonder that HAG Feinstein is so busy...

Whos Next?

Very good video..

Submitted by jd925 on Sun, 01/06/2013 - 19:24.

I remember watching that on the DP years back.. I remember Chris Matthew's question to GOA prez Larry Pratt about examples of citizens having to fight back against government. He mentioned this example, but I assume there would be many, many more examples around the world. Can anyone list other examples like this?

Are there anymore examples in US History after the Revolution of Armed citizens defending against government tyranny?

Research it. Federal agents murdered a woman and her infant child. Her husband fought back, killed a federal agent in self defense. He was innocent since the Feds didn't announce themselves as police and had no warrant. Jury eventually awarded the survivors money

they want our guns. It's important to note that nobody who took part in the siege at the jail were charged with a crime. Unfortunately... don't see how it is relevant to today as there are no ballot boxes anymore for the corrupt to steal.

Even though this has been posted many times by many people, it is important for people to remember this.

If only we had that kind of courage.

The corruption that we face in militarized law enforcement is exceedingly worse.

There are a couple sites that have it to stream free, but but but, they want your CC# that they 'won't charge' and I just don't do that. Here is a link to one.

Why not just bring back one of the several previous threads about this same item?

It isn't new.

Here's one from 2008: http://www.dailypaul.com/49816/battle-for-athens
but there are several from earlier this year and several in-between.

Maybe I've just been on here too long...

I just heard about it today as well

Submitted by TwelveOhOne on Sun, 12/30/2012 - 18:57.

It was in the first of three parts of the Carl Miller videos on the Constitution. From fishyculture's signature. Highly recommended, although each is an hour and a half. Watched the first today, and this battle was mentioned in it.

Bump.

My Dad found this. My entire family of men have fought for this country and those still alive regret ever taking part after they've learned the banksters, cartels and puppets like Obama are what brought it on.
