The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said "Blood Tribe."

Exactly. Americans are always going on about how they need guns to defend themselves from tyranny.

You have tyranny marching on your streets. Just go and shoot them with your guns. What’s the issue?

  • Those marching nazis are scum, but they are allowed to do it
  • Tyranny: "cruel and oppressive government or rule. A group you don't like marching is not tyranny

What's the issue?

You don't see any issue in allowing vigilante justice where civilians are free to murder people on the streets that have differing opinions from that of their own? Is this the world you want to live in? You think there's any chance the outcome might be something different than what you hoped for?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Being nazi is "having a differing opinion"?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I doubt nazis have any opinions that differ from his.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Opinion, world view, religion, sexuality, race ...

This isn't about just nazies. If one advocates for a world where common people are allowed to take justice into their own hands and just murder people perceived to be bad then that is a horribly violent world where nobody is safe. I would be making the exact same argument on a right wing forum where someone suggest we should just shoot the communists. That's a horribly ignorant thing to say.

It literally is just about literal nazis. Yes, they should shoot Nazis until Nazis go away again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

They're Nazis you prat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

perceived to be bad

Nazis, dude. "Perceived," my ass.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm not talking about just nazies.

Also, vigilante justice like this means there is no court process and investigation about wether said person actually is guilty of the crime they're accused of. Innocent people will fall victim to it aswell. I'm sure there are more that one people in this thread thinking I'm a literal nazi aswell but I'm not and murdering me would mean murdering a person for "crime" they did not commit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I’m not talking about just nazies.

Cool. What other groups are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, you fucking are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Making death threats is already illegal in the US, i don't see how waving nazi flags doesn't fall under that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

You're not allowed to murder people on the streets for making death threats either.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago

It is when more than half the cops and 1/3 of the politicians share the same rancid and destructive ideal.

And we are forced to pretend they are normal people and let them speak at our schools and walk our streets.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The only good nazi is a dead nazi.

Either you clean them out now, or they take over.

History is VERY clear on this point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

We failed to clean them out 100 years ago. They've all but completely taken over at this point. November may be the last vote that counts for anything we get. And people are far too calm about it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are Nazis. Vigilante justice is the reason for the 2nd amendment.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Is this the world you want to live in

if it's only Nazis I'm completely fine with it. Shot those fucks.
