SIGNAL BOOST: if you’re black and live in Gettysburg, please be careful!

Some racist got his Confederate flag burnt on his truck and his friends on Facebook are literally talking about lynching and shooting black people over it. One friend is even already targeting a neighbor to “check” out. Their comments are terrifying.

Please be safe from these racist, dangerous people!

I will never forget sitting next to this girl from Gettysburg in a college class as she talked about how the KKK was really active in Gettysburg, that they had bakesales and stuff and she actually lived down the road from the Grand Dragon and he was actually a pretty nice guy.
