American Patriot Rally is mainly peaceful
News September 14, 2019
DAHLONEGA, Ga. – The American Patriot rally in Dahlonega ended without violence or property damage today although one person was arrested hours before the rally started and two were arrested during the rally.
University of North Georgia police arrested Joshua Parker for possession of a knife on campus at approximately 10:30 a.m. Counter demonstrators Rachel Scott and Ronald Watson were arrested for inciting a riot after they snuck into the staging area reserved for the event organizers.
counter protester arrested
Aside from that, the event was uneventful. Rally organizers sang the Star Spangled Banner, recited the Pledge of Allegiance, paid tribute to President Donald Trump then departed.
There was one staging area for the organizers, another for counter protesters and another for the media. Each was cordoned off by steel barriers backed by a row of police officers in full riot gear.
The staging area for the organizers was in front of the Welcome Center. On the other side of the Dahlonega Gold Museum members of Antifa and the Socialist Coalition of North Georgia (SSCNC) carried signs and sang Viet Nam-era protest songs.
Sheriff Stacy Jarrard
An overwhelming show of force by law enforcement officers made it crystal clear there would be no violence on this day. Antifa and SCNG were outnumbered 3 to 1.
Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said nearly 600 police officers from 36 local, state and federal agencies kept the event peaceful.
After the event, Jarrard expressed his gratitude to officers who came from as far away as Savannah.
“It just goes to show you how law enforcement officers respond when they are needed in another area. All I did was send out a simple email and I immediately got a reply that they were on the way.”
Mayor Sam Norton also expressed his appreciation.“I am humbled by this outpouring of support from our local, state, and federal partners during these events,” he said. “I would also like to thank all the residents and local business owners who sent messages of support to our officers. That is a true reflection of the people who live in our small town.”
There were three distinct winners at the rally today – the First Amendment to U.S. Constitution, the outstanding law enforcement officers and the City of Dahlonega.
The organizers were allowed to exercise their right under the First Amendment. Antifa and the Socialist Coalition of North Georgia did the same. The City of Dahlonega remained unscathed.

Many downtown businesses will close on 9.14 due to rally
Feature News September 13, 2019
DAHLONEGA, GA
The list of local businesses on the historic Dahlonega square that will be closed on September 14 has steadily increased as the impending rally approaches.
Some of the first businesses to announce closing on the 14th are, Spirits Tavern, Gustavo’s, and Knuckles Sandwich Shop. Spirits posted on their reason for closing on their Facebook page, which was later shared by Knuckles “Spirits Tavern will be closed on this day (Saturday, September 14). The safety of our employees and guests are our highest priority. The revenue lost is not worth acknowledging hate of any kind.”
Since then, several other businesses have taken to social media to announce their closing on 9.14, including Mayor Sam Norton’s business, the Picnic Cafe and Dessertery. According to Picnic Cafe’s Facebook page, “It’s not always about the dollar. Family values and a sense of community are what most businesses on the Square are about here in Dahlonega. We will close Saturday, September 14th and encourage others to be home with their family. We will reopen the day after these disruptive protests and counter-protests. We look forward to seeing you on Make-Up Monday (9/16/19).”
Crimson Moon told FYN that they will be closed during the day and open only to host the concert scheduled for Saturday night. Capers on the Square, Brad Walker Pottery, Paul Thomas Chocolates, The Dahlonega General Store, Jolie Day Spa, Walking Ghost Tours, and Studio Jewelers are amongst the businesses that will also be closed. The Dahlonega Farmer’s Market is also canceled for 9.14.
While many downtown businesses will be closed, there are some who will remain open, or open later Saturday evening. This includes The Fudge Factory and Outlaw Jerky will open at 4 p.m. on Saturday, 19 Degrees North, Pueblos, Grapevines, Johnny B’s, Naturally Georgia, Giggle Monkey Toys, Shenanigan’s Irish Pub, and Bourbon Street Grille, (downstairs dining only) will all remain open.
Deb Rowe, owner of Shenanigan’s and Bourbon Street Grille, explained that they will remain open, but the upstairs dining area and balcony area of Bourbon Street will be closed. Patrons will still have the option to dine downstairs at Bourbon Street. Both businesses expressed support and appreciation not for the rally, but for the many law enforcement officers and emergency personnel who will be diligently working to keep everyone safe during the rally,
“Shenanigans and Bourbon Street will be open on Saturday 9/14, offering our employee discount of 30% to all emergency personnel. We are aware that many businesses are taking a different approach, and that’s just as understandable. We will stand in the confidence of our law enforcement to monitor and protect, as well as being steadfast with safety and security ourselves. In addition to our local emergency personnel, there are several hundreds of additional officers coming to serve our community and it is our hope that after a contained and uneventful demonstration, we will be able to serve them in appreciation of their service to us all.”
