The Daily Beast revealed on January 30 that a group of supporters who went on a "campaign of hate speech" were planning to march across town Thursday to show solidarity with those who were killed in the massacre and are looking to organize a prayer service.

It's not that the march was not racially motivated, and the fact that white supremacists are still protesting the attack indicates that they're still a minority. The problem was the organizers didn't have the people they said they needed to to organize the march. Many were white supremacists—which is also clear to white supremacists who have been terrorized, harassed, and murdered in mass protests in recent years. One white supremacist man, James Hodgkinson, a self-proclaimed patriot and former Trump supporter who is in jail, told a reporter at a Democratic event, "We'll all die [in the civil rights movement]. You know I don't think the right groups or the left or anyone in the right need to sit back and wait for something else to happen. We're all in it together … We're going to kill them. We're going to take them out. We're going to fight for our national security on our level."

The Daily Beast reached out to the leaders of both groups to find out if they would allow the group from The Gathering of the Juggalos to take over the rally.

The organizers of The Gathering of the Juggalos were called upon to act because they were concerned about what they viewed as a planned rally of white supremacists who would attempt to take over the main line of white nationalist speakers at a rally held by the group. The group said in a statement to The Daily Beast that they could not allow the group to take over a "large or even very big number of people."

However, police said that the entire contingent of "several dozen counter-extremists in black and white hats" and "many KKK members" took over the planned event as planned, and when asked if that was fair, they reportedly said, "You know, we know who made those demands, but you're not allowed to use the venue at that time, right?"

That's when, of course, one of the organizers of The Gathering of the Juggalos pulled out his gun and said: "Oh, we will not run them off the stage."

The Daily Beast previously reported on the plan to stage the march, adding that the group claims that the event would include a "semicolonized" "cultural center with a message of unity." The march has taken place in a few locations in Manhattan, but since its beginning, The Gathering of the Juggalos has been a constant presence. The event also features a rally in New York City to call for a repeal of some of President Donald Trump's executive orders and a "white guilt trial."

The Gathering of the Juggalos has become a global phenomenon. As of April, The Gathering has made over 3,000 contributions to Republican and Democratic causes and causes, over $200,000 going to pro-Trump groups. The event took over the offices of President Barack Obama at the Justice Department on April 15, after George W. Bush's White House took over.

  1. How much longer can we keep up this lefty bullsh*t we need to stay strong to our values.

  2. I can’t agree more, as my brother went on to become a volunteer in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian moderate opposition versus Assad – and died. All because US did not stop Assad in 2011-2012.
