People carrying a white nationalist flag were caught on security cameras trying to film in front of a new memorial to lynching victim Emmett Till.

Patrick Weems, executive director of the Emmett Till Memorial Commission, told The Associated Press that the incident was captured Saturday by new security cameras at the memorial site in Mississippi. Security video from the commission shows the people, including a person carrying the flag of a neo-Confederate group flag, filming at the site. They are seeing running away after a security alarm sounds.

In the video, a man can be heard saying they are at the memorial "that represents the civil rights movement for blacks." "What we want to know is, where are all the white people?" he continued before the clip ends. The group was carrying a white flag with a large cross, a symbol associated with the League of the South.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has described the League of the South as a neo-Confederate hate group.

"They basically showed a group of people coming out and filming what looked to be some kind of propaganda video at the historic marker," Weems said.

1. Um, cuz it is meant to recognize a young man tortured and murdered by your kin.

God these scum are sickening.

7. Wasn't this a 14 year old

accused of whistling at a white woman? It did not happen, she confessed later on. I can't imagine living with a secret like that.

10. Yes. It was a heinous crime. They tortured and murdered him and lied through their smiling teeth.

His mother chose an open casket so people could view how badly they had tortured him. I can't imagine, and hope they all have a special place in hell.

11. Too bad they all lived

for many years afterwards, free, How anyone could do this and sleep at night amazes me. No conscience whatsoever. The boy was visiting from Chicago, probably had no idea how different race relations were at that time down south. Horrible crime.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Amen. Vile "people". They look kinda like us, and there it ends.

2. Disgusting. nt

3. I watched the video...

They scattered like roaches when the alarm went off.

4. Some more of spanky's very fine people. Losers.

[Grokenstein]

5. If they can't vandalize it

then by gum they're gonna stand in front of it and cry about how they suffer.

Love that last pic, though! They think they look all "Sons of Anarchy" but it's closer to "Revenge of the Alt-Right Nerds." Spoiler alert: There's sure to be at least one Timmy McVeigh wannabe in the group, but the rest of them will be pissing their pants and screaming for mercy within two minutes of the first non-videogame gunshot.

6. The new neo-Surrender monkey flag?

Have not seen that one before.

A group of people carrying a white nationalist flag were caught on camera Saturday attempting to record a video in front of the Emmett Till memorial in Sumner, Mississippi.

Patrick Weems, executive director of the Emmett Till Memorial Commission, told NBC News that the group was captured on camera by a new surveillance system that was updated when the bulletproof memorial was dedicated on Oct. 19.

"This is the first incident we’ve seen of what appears to be white nationalists making a propaganda video," Weems said.

One man can be heard in the video identifying the sign as a monument representing the "civil rights movement for blacks."

"What we want to know is, where are all of the white people?" he continued.

In another clip, the group can be seen scrambling for their cars after sirens go off, a newly added security feature.

A clip of the video was posted to the Sumner Courthouse and Emmett Till Interpretive Center Facebook page on Saturday...............
