We have received an email of a disturbing video of today’s rally calling for the renaming of the J.C. Nichols Fountain and against a Confederate Memorial on the Country Club Plaza.

As the rally started a number of people noticed men positioned on the hill overlooking the fountain carrying assault rifles and forming a perimeter they appeared to be militiamen part of the III%er movement.

The day prior to this a group of these same men showed with assault rifles at another rally calling for the abolition of the racist prison system. At this rally it was asked why they were there and one responded that “KCPD told them to come”.
