White supremacist group disbands; police still prepared for protest at Confederate marker

The white supremacist group that announced plans to protest at the Confederate monument in Fort Sanders on Saturday announced on its website that it is disbanded.

Early Thursday, Confederate 28's website banner read "DISBANDED" in all capital letters, and the site now has been completely taken down.

Earlier, the group appeared to release a statement through a spokesman using the alias "George Valois."

"Confederate 28 has dissolved due to internal issues, suspended all projects and events, and we have no hand in the rally," the statement reads. "The Knoxville locals have started their own rally, and have taken up the cause of defending their history."
