Leftists need to bring guns to protests. The hit-and-run represents a significant escalation and the next guy who tries it needs to get shot.

There were groups carrying (not BLM). But youd have to have an even more militarized and alienating March than the fash to secure from something like this.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

this. ted never struck me a "racist" probably homophobic/sexist, but not white pride alt right type. he is just a shithead with super randian beliefs and terrible politics. i also think alot of these GOP people are doing this poo poo for 2 reasons, 1. its way to awful and open to sweep under the rug and 2. trump basicaly said it was fine and the GOP is slowly turning on him in general.

Fats Dominar is on the case


if you are a republican looking to distance yourself from an unpopular trump, without doing anything politically dangerous like criticizing him or blocking his policies... this is like the absolute perfect zero downside way to do it. sharply criticizing literal nazis and the klan is the lowest, fattest blooper you can hit. this is manna from heaven to the worried but spineless GOP.

whenever the economy goes tits up and people are feeling disempowered and frightened, a philosophy that offers personal empowerment via the denigration of others and easy fixes to complex questions becomes mighty appealing, especially if it already has roots in traditional practices (re: racism)

That's how bad things are right now. He just texted me to admit that the reason why this poo poo is seeing an uptick is because of people seeing a lack of economic opportunity.

The turnaround from yesterday is incredible. The tiki torch march did what they could have wanted it to do, but they pushed their luck and now its a mess.

The vehicular homocide (rip brave comrade) represents a big change though, being the first cowardly attack by nazis to get media play. No telling where that leads.

Okay, but the police won't protect marches, and the worst the perps get is maybe a decade or 2 in prison (that have white supremacist gangs to protect them). Compared to the loss of innocent life, and the fear they're trying to create, that's nothing. There has to be lethal consequences.

No. Opening fire on car dude would have been a spectacularly bad idea. Also, lol at the WN in prison protecting this dude. He's going to be a broke-brained insufferable meme-lord and the WN will not keep him safe.

A bunch of people with guns results in accidental shootings even when they don't have people to shoot at. Right now, everyone who isn't a Nazi is going to sympathize with the people who got ran over. Less so if they were all armed.

It's really easy to come up with a hypothetical where a gun saves a life, but if you look at incidents where guns were available they usually don't. Everyone thinks they're James Bond, but most of us are the three year old who shoots his friend.
