There are more neo-Nazi rallies scheduled in the next couple of days.

My number one fear at this point is someone - under any circumstances - shooting one of these neo-Nazi marchers at one of the rallies.

It firmly established the "both sides" narrative. If there were more attacks I don't think it would be as credible, but this early on it could poke holes in the left's anger and I want it to keep rolling.

Because it would prove Donald Trump right in the eyes the public and the momentum we had in changing the world would reverse against us and he would seem like a hero who saw the rising tides. All those statues would be put back up in the left would get turbofucked because everyone in government would be okay with loving us over. The Republicans rely on white supremacist so they'll just give harsh words and the centrists love kowtowing to the concept of Civility, if the left kills someone, it would result in the harshest police Crackdown we would ever seen surpassing the levels of the Nixon Administration.

I'm afraid of the backlash. I don't approve of vigilante killing regardless of who's doing it, but I don't want Trump and right-wing state governments to have an excuse to bring the hammer down.

Okay, if you prefer replacing all the humor of the original movie with lazy gay stereotypes and ruining the relationship of the two leads, then the remake is great.

Yeah they changed quite a bit about it, but I'd not say for the worse. For me it's not something that has been filtered through something else. It's two fruits from the same tree.

Just being canceled is no guarantee there won't be a neo-Nazi march. There's been claims in Florida that the officially canceled Gainesville march will happen anyway.

Yeah, it's happening. The police are cracking down really hard on that though. Their layout is as follows: the Nazis will be in the center and will be checked before being allowed to enter for all weapons and anything found dangerous on the person will be removed, then there will be a circle of police officers dressed in riot gear, then the counter-protesters will be allowed to surround them.

Since none of the Nazis will be allowed to have weapons, the police will be separating the two groups with their literal bodies, and recognizing the counter-protesters going to be in a longer group and need more space, the police hope to keep order.

Good info. Yeah from what friends say Boston feels keyed up and there are trolls on Twitter pretending to be Boston Antifa and trying to push things further. I live in DC, which feels absolutely bizarre but I don't think riots this weekend are in order. Big prison labor strike + rally is tomorrow which I think will be less violent than fash + Antifa in other places.
