PA Militia Files into Emancipation Park to Protect Free Speech
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -
On Saturday, October 21, a group of militiamen filed into Emancipation Park to address the community about its role in the August 12 rally.
The Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia is one of the defendants named in the lawsuit filed to prevent unauthorized paramilitary groups from returning to Charlottesville.
...
The group says it came back to town to make it clear they were only here to protect everyone's right to free speech.
Even though the media wanted to lump us in with these hard 'alt-right' people, that's not at all the case, says Christian Yingling, a member of the militia. We don't support what they did, we don't support their beliefs in any way, shape, or form.
...
I was told by some counter protesters that there was a militia group that refused to clear a path, through them, for the white supremacists and also rendered first aid to all in need. This, to me, lends some credibility to the militia's statement of purpose.
