Summary
Following a February 7th neo-Nazi rally, residents of Lincoln Heights, a majority-Black Ohio town, formed an armed Safety and Watch Program to protect against hate groups.
The rally, where participants waved swastikas and shouted slurs, received little police intervention, sparking fears of future threats when no arrests or identifications were made during the incident.
Volunteers now patrol bus stops and neighborhoods. “I’ve never felt safer as a Black man in my community,” said spokesperson Daronce Daniels.
The historically underserved and self-governing community shows strong support for the initiative with yard signs and sees this as a continuation of its legacy of self-reliance and community defense.
close enough
welcome back Black Panthers
So the white sherif is more worried about black folks wearing masks and carry assault rifles than the neo Nazis wearing masks and carrying weapons? And not identifying them?
I understand cops don’t want to arrest their friends, but this is pretty bad, even by those standards.
its almost as if the cops are the ones behind the masks, the way they are protecting them…
Some of those that work forces…
Getting organized is good.
Individuals just yolo shooting Nazis and CEOs is kind of heart warming, but real power I think comes from organizing.
yeah but you don’t expect that shit from first world country, america is in decline
That why the rest of the world expect this from the USA
Watch gun control laws suddenly appear.
This will be the thing that finally gets us gun control.
Forget it. If you can’t imagine the government rounding up all the stockpiles of weapons from right wingers around the country, you should be against any further gun control. Our enemies are already well armed. Don’t make it harder for the rest of us.
KKK aren’t the only ones who can run militias.
Wake up, babe! New Republican gun restrictions are about to drop!
May as well. We’re well on our way to being third-world anyway
“shit-hole cuntry”
The resurrection of the Black Panthers
When it’s necessary, it’s necessary
Unfortunate….
But true.

All this happens because Americans are obsessed with race. The first time I was asked about my race was when I applied for my visa
NRA inexplicably starts sweating

Oh, that was just perfect. Thank you.
Are the fucking neo-Nazis showing up in Tesla Cyber trucks? They fucking asswipes should be.
I would wadger to guess that the majority of Neo-Nazis that show up to rallies like that on not in a tax bracket that could afford a cybertruck 😆
They roll in the back of rented U-Haul trucks like the warriors they are 🫠
Dollar store APC
It’s fucking hog-wash I tell ya
The rally, where participants waved swastikas
Why isn’t this enough to shot them in the face?
Millions died at war to stop swastika-waving scum, and the world united to never allow this to happen again, so why is American society suddenly ok with letting them terrorize communities?
Almost all of the WW2 vets are gone man. I worry that the far right resurgence around the world is being allowed to happen because people are simply ignorant to the horror of WW2. I remember talking to someone younger than me about Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. He didn’t seem to think much of the Holocaust which I found disturbing. I started bringing up the numbers and I could see the shock in his face. He genuinely didn’t seem to grasp just how many people were murdered because of fascism.
History classes in the US cover WW2, but barely touch on the causes of WW2.
History classes in the US are patriot washed to convince soon to be laborers that they’re living in the greatest country to ever possibly exist.
“People’s History of the United States” and “Lies My Teacher Told Me” were eye opening to the omissions from my primary education. “Trail of Tears” should be required reading.
I think everyone should attend an event where they can personally thank a WW2 vet.
And we can apologise to them at the same time for not honouring their sacrifice by allowing tyranny to rise up nearly uninhibited.
I regularly watch documentaries about out WW2 as a reminder of how easily dictators can threaten civilization, but also to learn about what it took for ordinary people to become heroes.
Look at major wars and start going backwards in history… and then do the math of how long before that major war a previous major war was.
WW2… 80-ish years ago from today Civil War… 1860s - about 80 or so years before that American Revolution - 1770s - about 80 to 90 years before that
There seems to be a rough pattern indicating that once the generation scarred by a major war is gone… so seems to go the world order that was in place beforehand.
I get it in the past because the information was simply not accessible for most people. Nowadays there is no excuse for ignorance. It takes a 5 minute google search to get a taste of the inhumanity of history. Everyone should be willing to put in at least 5 minutes man.
People should be teaching their own children these truths. The schools have been compromised.
Because the Venn diagram of those waving swastikas and those enforcing the law is nearly a circle.
Blue by Day, White by Night. On a Klan/Cop button I have from the 70s
Some of those that burn crosses???
You ever been to an anti far right protest? You can tell who the cops like more. It’s the cowards in hoods
well yes, because they’re them. I’m a white dude and even I know that.
