Around 3:00 pm, C.M. "Windy" Wise, a patrolman, prevented an elderly African American farmer, Tom Gillespie, from casting his ballot at the Athens Water Works polling place. When Gillespie and a GI poll watcher objected, Wise struck Gillespie with brass knuckles, which caused Gillespie to drop his ballot and run from the deputy. Wise then pulled his pistol and shot Gillespie in the back
Huey Long was far worse. Remember this: the 2nd says NOT guns, but ARMS. ARMS are needed to overthrow tyrants. Yes ... tanks, mortars, missiles, jets, cannons, artillery. Its civilians that create, designs, and build weapons .. not the MIC.
That is because there was no other party in that part of the country at that time. Like the Communist Party, it was The Party. If you wanted to participate one ran as a Democrat even if the view was 180 degrees out of sinc with the other guy running, as a Democrat.
I live in Chattanooga, just 45 minutes from McMinn County and Athens, TN. How this story hadn’t been made into a major length feature film or isn’t in more history books in America is beyond me… Oh wait, I know why.. because anti-gun/pro-gun control Hollywood wouldn’t allow it.
Also no one talks about how England in 1774 colonial America banned guns/gunpowder in colonial America & attempted gun confiscation in April 1775 started that 8-year war & England almost won!!
and thats why you need guns
Never give up freedom.
This history seems rather related to our times...
About to repeat 🔁
"There was a shooting" lol and by that they mean the sheriff shot a man who didn't vote the way he wanted.
False. A deputy/poll watcher was attempting to intimidate a black voter. And shot him for attempting to vote and not leaving.
@@Mr_Gabbles That's exactly what he just said.

Love the blue TH-cam banner on this video telling us about election integrity.
TH-cam doesn't understand integrity.
@@bidenisacommunistpuppet.3831 I adore your screen name.
Well the whole country is in the same boat as Athens in 1946.
It’s even worse in 2022
Brings tears to my eyes, don't give up your gun guys, my country, Australia made a grave mistake.
Those are real men. We need to be more like them. There is nothing wrong with standing up for what is right.
Based and awesome
I never once heard in this video the phrase ‘corrupt democrat party’.
Greed like addiction doesn't recognize party affiliation
@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 never mind they were democrats.
You are aware they were mostly Dixiecrats right? Who would later become republicans… open a book and learn man.

Funny huh, do you think if it was reps stealing elections or j-walking, CONcast wouldnt make certain to explicitly tell us about those evil reps?
Crooked democrats
My great uncles were that battle.
Patriots were the guardians of Peace and Justice in the Old Republic, before the dark times, before the Empire... 🇺🇸

There is an hour and 30 minute movie
@@codyharney2997title?
It was made into a movie tom Sizemore played in it but they twisted the story the actual history is much more interesting.
The name of the movie is called “After the Glory”.
Also no one talks about how England in 1774 colonial America banned guns/gunpowder in colonial America & attempted gun confiscation in April 1775 started that 8-year war & England almost won!!
