So the white sherif is more worried about black folks wearing masks and carry assault rifles than the neo Nazis wearing masks and carrying weapons? And not identifying them?
I understand cops don’t want to arrest their friends, but this is pretty bad, even by those standards.
its almost as if the cops are the ones behind the masks, the way they are protecting them.....
Some of those that work forces...
Getting organized is good.
Individuals just yolo shooting Nazis and CEOs is kind of heart warming, but real power I think comes from organizing.
The resurrection of the Black Panthers
close enough
welcome back Black Panthers
The cops didn't didn't show up for the same reason that you never see Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus at the same time.
They were already there! Just in a different uniform
Good news: Law enforcement has operatives highly placed in every domestic terror organization.
Bad news: they are not informants.
The rally, where participants waved swastikas
Why isn't this enough to shot them in the face?
Millions died at war to stop swastika-waving scum, and the world united to never allow this to happen again, so why is American society suddenly ok with letting them terrorize communities?
Almost all of the WW2 vets are gone man. I worry that the far right resurgence around the world is being allowed to happen because people are simply ignorant to the horror of WW2. I remember talking to someone younger than me about Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. He didn't seem to think much of the Holocaust which I found disturbing. I started bringing up the numbers and I could see the shock in his face. He genuinely didn't seem to grasp just how many people were murdered because of fascism.
History classes in the US cover WW2, but barely touch on the causes of WW2.
History classes in the US are patriot washed to convince soon to be laborers that they're living in the greatest country to ever possibly exist.
"People's History of the United States" and "Lies My Teacher Told Me" were eye opening to the omissions from my primary education. "Trail of Tears" should be required reading.
Look at major wars and start going backwards in history… and then do the math of how long before that major war a previous major war was.
WW2… 80-ish years ago from today Civil War… 1860s - about 80 or so years before that American Revolution - 1770s - about 80 to 90 years before that
There seems to be a rough pattern indicating that once the generation scarred by a major war is gone… so seems to go the world order that was in place beforehand.
I get it in the past because the information was simply not accessible for most people. Nowadays there is no excuse for ignorance. It takes a 5 minute google search to get a taste of the inhumanity of history. Everyone should be willing to put in at least 5 minutes man.
People should be teaching their own children these truths. The schools have been compromised.
Because the Venn diagram of those waving swastikas and those enforcing the law is nearly a circle.
Some of those that burn crosses???
May as well. We're well on our way to being third-world anyway
"shit-hole cuntry"
Wanna bet this community sees a temporary decrease in crime?
Hell, I personally would feel safer as an opponent of facism there too.
History shows us that this will not be tolerated for long though, regardless of the constitutional right. I hope this idea is picked up elsewhere. There are a lot of places that could benefit from running their own regulated militia: cities, towns, and neighborhoods.
You wanna bet they're gonna make some laws now to restrict them because black people are exercising their 2nd amendment rights.
That's the part I'm curious about. California did enact a law in 1967 requiring permits to openly carry loaded firearms, but the Black Panthers didn't just go away.
Anything enacted at a federal level will get pushback, and I'm very curious about how it will be constructed to avoid pissing off their support. In either way, I would presume that people aren't just going to passively hand over their guns. We know how that ends up.
That will be the true test on how strong fascism is in this country. I have ten bucks on Republicans willingly handing their firearms over at the direction of the current administration after decades of not being able to shut the fuck up about keeping their 2a rights.
KKK aren't the only ones who can run militias.
NRA inexplicably starts sweating
Oh, that was just perfect. Thank you.
This will be the thing that finally gets us gun control.
Forget it. If you can't imagine the government rounding up all the stockpiles of weapons from right wingers around the country, you should be against any further gun control. Our enemies are already well armed. Don't make it harder for the rest of us.
Are the fucking neo-Nazis showing up in Tesla Cyber trucks? They fucking asswipes should be.
I would wadger to guess that the majority of Neo-Nazis that show up to rallies like that on not in a tax bracket that could afford a cybertruck 😆
They roll in the back of rented U-Haul trucks like the warriors they are 🫠
If the cops didn’t do shit when the Nazis came, why do they think the cops won’t fuck them over if they try to stop the Nazis?
Cowards tend to back down when confronted on equal grounds. This is essentially a resurgence of the Black Panther movement, which worked quite well doing the exact same thing.
I wonder if this will trigger republicans to enact gun laws
Mulford Act A 1967 California bill to repeal the law that permitted citizens to carry loaded weapons in public places The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill that prohibited public carrying of loaded firearms without a permit. Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford, and signed into law by governor of California Ronald Reagan, the bill was crafted with the goal of disarming members of the Black Panther Party who were conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods, in what would later be termed copwatching. Wikipedia
Ah, Reagan. What a racist piece of shit. Too bad someone with better aim didn't try to impress Jodie Foster.
Watch gun control laws suddenly appear.
We need these in every neighbor hood now
Good move for the black people.
It’s a good thing Ronald Reagan isn’t around anymore.
I read this with the subtext that Ronald Reagan worked as governor of California to pass gun control after Black Panthers were exercising their right to bear arms.
Underrated comment, ty
Resist fascism!
