Get ready to see a lot more of this.
This is America now.
The majority voted for this. We wanted this.
Don't lump me into the collective "we".
We're part of it. It's our country and the majority decided to take America down this path.
We are "we" because we are part of this society.
I didn't vote for it. I know, very clearly, what direction we're headed in. Anyone that didn't just float through their history classes with barely passing grades should know. But I still accept that I'm part of it. WE are a very stupid society.
Everyone shares some level of accountability, and I know nobody wants to hear it and will stomp and huff and gnash their teeth at the notion, but it's true. Some carry a much larger chunk of that responsibility than others, from of course the people who didn't care and didn't vote, and the people who cared and still didn't vote, to just the people who rolled their eyes every time someone posted a "political" picture in /r/funny and had to start a 300+ comment deep thread about how stupid politics is, down to the small pieces held by everyone who did everything right but never valued their community, didn't make a stand against people saying and doing things we didn't agree with, and lets not forget everyone who never involved themselves in their local elections even enough to vote for the people who represent them, they allowed many to go unchallenged and those people went on to prop up a government run by and representing a minority ideology.
Yup.
Democracies only work for average citizens if average citizens inform themselves responsibly and vote responsibly. Americans are AWFUL at that.
I'm honestly ashamed of our country. Never really felt that before. At least not to this degree.
3 of these guys marching down the street: a joke.
3,000 of these guys marching down the street: a nightmare.
It would be a shame if Nazis got massacred and noone saw what happened.
the only thing sadder than this is that they managed to survive to the end of their little walk and go home.
In a just society they would have been napalmed and/or turned to ground mince by a large truck.
WE CALL THEM NAZIS ABC
Trump will pardon them, so there's gonna be a fuckton more of this shit over the next four years. Likely progressively worse as we go.
Pardon them for what? Unless their possessing firearms wasn't in line with the law, or that "physical altercation" mentioned that questioning apparently went nowhere reemerges as a thing then I don't know what they'd need pardoned for based on the article.
The marching with Nazi shit and spewing whatever hateful bullshit is protected speech, because speech protections in the US are extremely broad.
And that's before getting into whether or not the hypothetical crime is federal (which he could hypothetically pardon) or state (which he can't).
Yeah, I was in a rush when writing that, and should have been more thorough in explaining what I meant.
I meant that's their mentality: these idiots will become increasingly emboldened as Trump takes over, and make the assumption that they can do anything they want because Trump & the Republicans have taken over the Justice system and will allow them to do whatever they want to the "evil libs." There will be no hate crimes prosecuted (unless against white and/or prominent right-wingers) - at least not on a federal level, but these idiots often don't really understand that difference (and TBF there effectively may not BE a difference in red states).
Yup.
Things aren't getting better in America anytime soon. Even if the "pendulum swings". Pendulum doesn't matter in a society full of fools and racists. There is no magical reset button every 4-8 years for mistakes of the magnitude we just made as a society.
Buckle up.

Oh hell no. Place 2x4s in a place they'll accidentally walk into them. Like your hands at their eye level with a runneng start.
Do a march on the same route an hour after they finish and say "We are better than them and don't hate you" do it un masked and see how many people join you.
The sack of shit Government of Putin and their neo-Nazi supporters. Every single WW II veteran rolled in their grave.

Punch Nazis in the Face Again.
The only correct response to this is delivered at muzzle velocity.
Don't worry, it won't be long and they will not need to mask anymore.
Can of Surströmming, pull tab, throw.

Lol, you made my day brighter with your remark

Tbh why are these neo-nazis soo cringe tho.
You mean it doesn't make them look badass to be carrying intentionally edgelord versions of a swastika flag while wearing matching skull balaclavas in front of the shake shack?

Charge them with hate speech.
"Hate speech" isn't a criminal statute anywhere in America.
No, but there's the "fighting words" doctrine. Depending on the level of targeting of the hate speech, it may not he protected. Let's use Mike Pence as an example because it was a whole thing 4 years ago.
Saying "Hang Mike Pence" to the air is probably protected. Whereas going to Mike Pence and saying "I'm going to hang you" isn't.
The weird greyness is that telling someone to hang Mike Pence can also be a crime (e.g. conspiracy to commit murder or disturbing the peace), so the details and context matter.
Basically, if it's a threat with teeth, it may not be protected. Being offensive is legal. Inciting a riot or threatening or provoking someone into attacking first is not.
