I got down there and no one was there

Shows me for being late to a protest, I guess.

neo-nazis are just plain funny.
If I go to hear this I would probably laugh out loud, its probably as going to see some show of comedy central.

And I guess is just too cold out there for laughs.

Thats a tough one....I'd have to actually hear him speak.

Its hard to say whether arguing against multiculturalism and immigration policies is inherently racist. Depends what his reasoning is etc....

but ya, if hes slandering martin luther king jr. day he might not be the biggest fan of civil rights. I'm pretty sure hes wrong even if his "race realism" doesnt amount to saying "white power"....should have gone.

I took all of the Nazis' candy. It was tasty.

Also, we made confetti from their literature.

It was like a party.

A job well done...
Dude was spooked when everyone circled him.

Race realism!!!

i've been circled before.
i was pretty spooked.

ah, I hated how smug he looked!

Godwin's Law strikes again!

godwins law doesn't apply to discussions about actual real life nazi's.

also, props to mark and cole for not hiding behind masks heh.

Er, given the history of Nazis taking photos at events like this, and later physically assaulting people, I was wearing a mask for my safety. Most people were covering their faces for this purpose, and, in fact, there was a white supremacist or two present with cameras. We talked about this in our breifing/meeting before going inside, and I think it's stupid to fault people for not wanting Nazis to have pictures of them.



You could tell that the smirk was, to say the least, shallow. I don't think he expected to be quite so outnumbered and outgunned, let alone be completely shut down. Sure, you can say he deserved the chance to speak, but, realistically, I figure the world would be a better place if racists were that scared all of the time.

So was there anyone who wasn't a wasp at the protest..??? Or for that matter a privileged white suburban "youth"???

Just curious...

Good on everyone who went. Thank you!
