Pros and Cons of Punching a Nazi Just Square in the Dick

The fun part is guessing whether it's Twitter or Facebook.

They're "reviewing the policy" now that it's been published.

I think the more important thing is, it's one more thing that makes Facebook less appealing and is going to hurt its subscriber base.

Though, as I've said, if people just quit Facebook and go to Instagram, that doesn't really solve any problems.

Kind of the ol' dinner problem: You ask your friends what they want for dinner, and you get three votes for pizza and two votes to kill and eat you. Sure, pizza won the day, but the cannibals haven't gone away.

Far-Right Nationalists Attack Democratic Socialist Gathering in Kentucky

Louisville, KY – On the night of Thursday, September 27, approximately fifteen Louisville Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members gathered at the Silver Dollar restaurant for a social event, which was openly advertised on social media and also attended by non-members. At some point during the meeting, around eight apparent members of a ‘Three Percenter’ militia group arrived at the Silver Dollar and began behaving aggressively towards both Louisville DSA members and restaurant staff.

The group stood outside the Silver Dollar and yelled at individuals, “take your socialist, commie bullshit and get the fuck out of here,” “don’t come in my goddamn area anymore.” According to Louisville DSA, the social event was taking place on the outside patio “so they were able to come up next to our table.” The staff clearly asked the Three Percenters to leave, and the confrontation quickly escalated into an apparent assault against DSA event attendees and restaurant staff.

At least one of the men took out pepper spray and maced several DSA members along with the general manager of the Silver Dollar restaurant. According to Louisville DSA, two of its members and the general manager of the restaurant were “significantly affected while several more were pepper sprayed.” DSA members and restaurant staff that were sprayed were immediately treated for chemical burning on their eyes and face. The attackers continued yelling messages that seemed intended to intimidate, such as telling DSA meeting attendees that they were watching their every move.

...

The manager of the Silver Dollar wrote on Facebook,

“The LMPD officers who arrived asked the perpetrators who were left to leave but told our manager they did not have probable cause to search the perpetrators – despite a whole group having been pepper sprayed. I was advised at least one officer was seen laughing and joking around with the white nationalist group before letting them go with no repercussion.This is an unacceptable response by law enforcement, which I will be dealing with personally in the morning.”

Shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue.

There's nothing I can say that doesn't feel like some kind of trite "thoughts and prayers" horseshit. This happens too much -- the shootings and the white supremacist violence. It's awful.

Thad, you have to consider there's good people on both sides of the gun.

[Mongrel]

If you feel like being ill, https://twitter.com/nickqueen has preserved a vast amount of the shooter's posting on GAB (along with many of his sympathizers and others in that "community").

TL;DR: Dude is a nazi who thought that Trump isn't racist enough, and that the Trump administration is clearly controlled by Jews who are merely using brown people as foot soldiers in their war on Good White Folks. His feed included such gems as "Let's make ovens 1488 degrees again".

Oh and other nazis on GAB are posting Fight Club memes about him and "Project Mayhem".

Hartford Courant: Republican State Senator Candidate Sends Out Grossly Anti-Semetic Campaign Mailer

On the plus side (there's a plus side?!), this does in fact seem to be backfiring in the state with pretty much every Dem candidate in CT making hay over this this morning (at least according to a resident I know).

It's not like the guys getting elected haven't talked this way behind closed doors for decades. At least we're all being honest now.

What Happened To Danye Jones? Son Of Ferguson Activist Found Hanged From Tree

Earlier this month, on Oct. 17. Ferguson activist Melissa McKinnies found her 24-year-old son Danye Jones dead, hanging from a tree.

McKinnies, well known in her community, having participated in numerous protests in Ferguson since the Aug. 2014 death of Michael Brown, believes that her son was lynched. In a Facebook post that has since been deleted, McKinnies shared graphic images of her son under the caption, “They lynched my baby.”

“I’m sick and losing my mind but I had to let the world see what they did to my baby!,” she added.

...

Jones’ death has once again stirred conversation around various other activists in Ferguson who have died since 2014 under seemingly suspicious circumstances.

In 2014, Deandre Joshua, 20, was found shot once in the head, and then set on fire inside his car the same day a grand jury refused to indict Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown. Prominent Ferguson activist Darren Seals was also found dead inside of a burning car back in 2016. He had also been shot. And then there was the 2017 death of Edward Crawford, the activist captured in the iconic photo tossing a canister of tear gas away from those protesting Brown’s death. Police claimed that he died of a “self-inflicted” wound while in the back seat of his own car.

So uh, not only do we have a bona-fide lynching lynching, someone is fucking systematically tracking down and killing prominent Ferguson protesters, yet "somehow" this isn't a major story yet.

(Well, not in the mainstream. You can see a list of links here:)



These people are being gunned down with complete impunity.

NYT: The failure of US Law enforcement in seeing the rise of domestic far-right terrorism means they now have no idea how to stop it

Step one has to do with planks and eyes.

That assumes mere blindness and not actual complicity.

There was a Nazi rally in Philly today, where the Nazis were outnumbered something like 10:1 by counter-protesters.

Best counter-protesters:

One more detail:

<ewie> When the nazis were leaving people kept telling the Uber’s and taxis who they were picking up and the drivers would kick their passengers out of the car
<Glocks4Interns> So much for the tolerant ride sharing industry
<printski> if a company called uber thinks you're too nazi then maybe you should do some introspection

German art collective tricks neo-Nazis into outing themselves

ZPS set up a website with pictures of the 1,500 rioters they’d identified, but visitors to the site could only see 20 pictures at a time. So frantic fascists went to the site’s search bar to see if they’d been named.

“The first thing they’re doing is using the search function on the website to input their own name, or somebody they know, but who nobody else knows, in order to see if this website really works,” Ruch said, “to see if it’s really possible that we identified 1,500 people.”

wow-ho-ho-HO STOP THE CAR

We got an emergency, can't you see?

Seriously, is "Surprise Nazis" going to be the theme of 2019?
