'Hey Fascist! Catch!' Flyers Recruiting for the 'John Brown Club' Appear on Georgetown Campus

The American Left, especially on college campuses, has no intention of turning down the temperature in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. At the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW), clashes between conservative students and their Leftist classmates got so bad that the Chancellor issued a statement warning law enforcement would get involved.

John Brown was a militant abolitionist who believed in the use of violence to end slavery. This led to Brown's involvement in the Pottawatomie Massacre in 1855, where he and a few other men dragged five unarmed men and boys from their homes. Believing those men and boys were pro-slavery, Brown and his group killed them. In 1859, Brown led a raid on a federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry in the hopes of sparking a slave uprising and establishing "an independent stronghold of formerly enslaved people in the Adirondack Mountains." The raid failed, and Brown was seriously wounded. Federal troops apprehended and tried Brown for treason. He was later hanged. [NTTAWWT]

Those who remember their history class will remember that the first person Brown killed was not a slave owner, but a free Black man named Haywood Shepherd.

The "John Brown Club" also has ties to Antifa.

The John Brown Gun Club is the Antifa militia group that the 2019 Tacoma ICE Antifa gunman was a member of. Willem van Spronsen also referenced “Bella Ciao” in his manifesto.
