That article about Athens GA is mighty suspect, probably not very factual. Surprised that Buzzfeed would publish such obviously planted radical righty propaganda. Seems to me the author would have been one of those idiots from that Oregon town that worry about imaginary "Antifa" while a fire is raging around them.
Not exactly sure what you're referring to. The article from Buzzfeed is about Molalla, Oregon.
The article about Athens is in Tennessee, not Georgia.

Love Randy Rainbow!
Not intended to be a comment - one way or the other -
re politics, anti-fa, or q-anon. What kind of
MA-ROON drives into a natural disaster, where everyone
has been told to evacuate, to take pictures?
The kind that drives first responders and others
absolutely nuts. People die because of this stupidity
and it's not always just the MA-ROONS.
With regard to the resulting news feeds, There's a new
hybrid-documentary on Netflix:
The Social Dilemma
The Roger Ebert review calls like bringing a slingshot
to a nuclear war, which is why if I had my way, it'd be
a weeknight 8pm special on FOX, NBS, CBS,and ABC
and also mandatory viewing in High School.
Did I mention that if you have Netflix you should watch it?
Excuse me, my error. I mean The Abbeville Blog had the pro-Southern MAGA Hat view of the Battle of Athens.
How so? I didn't detect that.
