  1. I think he had a stroke or something and forgot WWII.

    Or he is so trailer park he has it confused with World Wrestling?

  2. So much for balanced and well-thought-out opinions, eh?

    You know damn well that wherever there are crowds there will be crazies doing what they do. Who ran over the young woman last year?

    As for the antifa group, it's all about action/reaction. And let me tell you, if I were to ever see a cockroach where it didn't belong, I wouldn't nudge it along back into its safe place. I would step on it. I'm glad the reaction was as significant on the other side as it was. And, sure, I wish the crowd crazies stayed at home.

  3. Errr, it's 2018 and the Nazi's haven't been a threat for decades. Their numbers have been shrinking to a point of non existence, except of course in the mind of the leftist where everyone is a Nazi who doesn't push the left leaning narrative. Use that standard and there are tens of millions of Nazis.

  4. You're being just a bit too acquiescent. That's how small problems become big ones. Remember in the '30s when some upstart in Germany started making noises? Most people didn't take him seriously. You don't think there's a lesson there? Quite apart from the insult to all things decent here and now in the present?

  5. To date the cockroaches of our society have freedom of assembly and expression, both the lefty cockroaches and the righty cockroaches. And, like you stated, wherever there is a crowd some crazies will do what they do, so sadly a young woman was run down. An incident not representative of the larger crowd. Works both ways, and there's the rub. You want a one way street and the reality is we have a two way street for the screwballs in society and they're all free to use it. Deny access to one, you must deny access to all.

    Thank goodness we have the "late 50-something internet lurking fag hag from Canada" and the America-hating, stolen valor foreign troll Slartocchio to tell us what we should be concerned about here in our country. :D

  7. Yes, ignoring small groups of thugs is a problem. The fact remains that the Nazi group is shrinking while the anarchy pushing Antifa group is growing larger. Both need to be squashed.

  8. You mean you want a street that lets hate groups flourish?

    KKK member fined for littering after passing fliers. He asks: What about free speech?

    A Ku Klux Klan member is protesting his treatment by police and a judge after his arrest and conviction this week in eastern North Carolina. The charge: littering.
    Maryland resident Justin Adams, a member of the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said he was in Roxboro on April 27 to attend a Klan rally the following day. Adams said he was slipping Klan fliers against drug use and Jews under car windshield wipers in a downtown parking lot when a police officer appeared.
    “As soon as he seen the flier, he said, ‘I can get you for littering,’ “ Adams said Friday. “He literally grabbed me in a split second and put me over the hood of the car.”
    Adams, 36, a landscaper who said he’s from Hagerstown, Md., said he was arrested and spent three hours in a holding cell before being released on $500 bond. He said he has distributed Klan literature in Maryland and other states without getting arrested.
    Adams claims his right of free speech was under attack in the arrest and conviction Thursday.

    Roxboro police Chief David Hess said Friday he has “no indication” that Adams’ account is accurate, saying it wouldn’t be consistent with his department’s policies or the officer’s record.
    “We support anyone invoking their constitutional rights, but we do not condone the message of the Ku Klux Klan and we have demonstrated that in years past, and we will continue to enforce the laws as appropriate,” Hess said.

    Asked if another group distributing fliers in the same way would have been charged, Hess said “every situation is unique and we have to look at the totality of the circumstance.”
    On Thursday, Adams returned to Person County to plead not guilty to the charge. He said Chief District Judge Mark Galloway, who heard the case, talked of past trouble with Klan members and “said he was going to make an example of me.”

    “The judge seemed totally biased toward me for something some other Klans did,” Adams said. He said he will appeal his conviction and $1,000 fine, the maximum allowed for a first offense of littering.

  10. One was in response to the other. It wouldn't have otherwise existed.
