DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - A Douglas County jury indicted 15 members of a pro-Confederate flag group Friday after a July clash with people attending a children’s birthday party.

Douglas County District Attorney Brian Fortner announced the indictments Monday for the July 25th incident on Campbellton Street in Douglasville.

At a Monday news conference, Fortner said the 15 people associated with the group “Respect the Flag” drove around the community in vehicles displaying the Confederate flag when they stopped near a residence on Campbellton Street where some residents were having a child’s birthday party.

After media coverage of the confrontation which was captured in part on video, the Douglasville Police Department and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office conducted an investigation into the circumstances.

On Friday, the Grand Jury indicted 15 members of “Respect the Flag” on charges they violated Georgia’s Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act and Terrorist threats.

The indictment also charged two members of the group with battery for an incident that occurred that same day at a gas station in the area of Douglas County known as the Corn Crib.

After the incident, both sides told FOX 5 the other incited violence, but Douglasville Police said at the time they didn’t have enough evidence either way.

One resident at the birthday party said during the celebration, several trucks with American, military and confederate flags flying from the back made their way onto her property, and people inside threatened her.

But a woman who was in one of the pickup trucks disputes that version of the story, saying the confrontation began when someone threw an object at one of the trucks, causing it to swerve and pop a tire.

well you see the black people threatened the police with a youtube video.

The force then had no recourse but to uphold the law. Such a dark time we live in.

They were a basket case because of the war not in spite of it

Letting them secede would have given them the breathing room they needed to consolidate themselves as a seperate country and refine their system of government to the point they would have been an even more potent and dangerous threat; the year that piece of poo poo Buchanan gave them was enough in and of itself to allow them to drag us into the Civil War alone

Lincoln was right to crush them before it got any worse

The Civil War was indeed about states rights

Namely, the right of Northern states to not have their sovereignty violated by the federal government when it came to housing and assisting escaped slaves, power which Southern slave owners were completely fine wielding when it benefited them
