If someone is crowing over "freedom of speech", chances are they're A. a neo-nazi (aka "alt-right"), B. a member of the KKK, or C. (and this is the only group to support when they do it) the ACLU.

Given the ACLU had nothing to do with this, it's likely A or B.

That lil guy is my 8 year old son that thought he was on top of the world trying a new trick that he thought he could land!! He didn't have any injuries and he got up and tried it again!! What turned out to be a small video that his friend posted has turned into multiple others sharing it and posting on Instagram and even made a vine with a million hits!! If anything he learned not to give up all the attention has made him even more determined!! That's pretty good for an 8 year old if ya ask me!

One of their featured guest speakers was Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman who is currently facing felony charges for attacking Antifa people with a leaded baton at previous rallies, if that helps paint a slightly clearer picture


Other people originally invited to speak included Augustus Invictus, a Holocaust denier and Gavin McInnes (Vice co-founder, founder of the Proud Boys alt-right mens movement)


Edit: here's an interview with the main organiser behind the free speech rally. He's a hardcore 4channer and self-described shitlord

There was also a guy with a "stop white genocide" shirt. So yeah, people who think that "freedom of speech" means "freedom to be an rear end in a top hat without repercussion"

Kicked out of his school. His Christian school.

Hahaha this is gold! In high school they came to my religious school to recruit students. They weren't accredited then, so one person I know that went there stuck out all four years to get a degree since none of her credits would have transferred anywhere else. This guy may be stuck going to Liberty University or some other fundie college, anywhere else he goes he'll have to start all over!

I think free speech is great, and especially for these people. I mean how would you otherwise know they're nazis? They'd like have to shove people in ovens and poo poo just to get through everyday situations. Now they can just be like sieg heil and you be like oh you're a dipshit that's why, thank you I was just wondering if I should entrust you with this important business, but now I can see that's not going to work out at all will it, yes thank you really, disaster narrowly averted eh?

I am hoping to see the eclipse totality tomorrow, but there is a 68% change of rain. I only live about an hour from the line of greatest totality so it won't be much of a hassle for me to get there, but there are plenty of people who have come from the other side of the world to see this...how mad are they going to be if it rains all day?

I also work in ophthalmology so if it isn't cloudy I wonder how many patients we'll get with burned retinas.

Some alt right guys down in Orange County had organised a good old fashioned book burning rally but had to cancel it because of violent Socialists attacking their free speech. :ironicat:

None, because Central Oregon (Madras) is on fire right now. You can barely see the sun.

e: I know people will be able to see the eclipse through smoke and rain but viewing conditions are f-ed up right now an probably will continue to be for the next few days

Accidental self-defence, at that. The dude was leaning out of a chopper to shoot at Rambo, Rambo threw a rock at the chopper that startled the pilot, who jerked the controls, and the dude fell out. Rambo just wanted to be left alone, he never wanted to hurt anyone :smith:
