I just want to say for the record that if anyone is on trial for brutally beating a KKK member and I'm on the jury I will never ever convict you. That is not a crime.

On the jury, being shown some video evidence....

"It doesn't look like anything to me."

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago

Why would I convict him? He just whooped that ghost's ass.

I would never say something like that on record.

Unrelated fun fact: having that kind of record come up in voir dire would immediately get you kicked off the jury.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago

If a lawyer can find this they deserve to kick me off the jury. Although I will say I've never been picked for a jury I think I'm Kryptonite the most lawyers.

Damn OP njm1314, too bad you used your real name and are super easy to find!

You probably wouldn't end up on the jury without lying during jury selection then.

Parts of CT are KKK strongholds.

I have a friend who used to live there and he told me his town had some prominent klansmen there, and there were rallies a town or two away.

In the past they've been socially aware enough to keep it to themselves. Since Trump became a thing they've gotten bold.

I live in New England so I'm close-ish to where this happened... I'd like to throw something on them like wine to stain their ghost costumes but who knows if thats legal and i dont want to end up in jail since i have responsibilities to people other than just me.

Is tossing glitter on them not assault? I want something that sticks and makes it so they don't want to wear that outfit anymore. Glitter that's fine enough never comes out.. because it's micro plastics. I normally avoid glitter but feel this might be an exception. Any other ideas non-violent ideas to make them feel unwelcome??

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Wine is probably a civil matter, right? They'd have to take you to court under their real name to recover damages.

A super soaker full of pink clothing dye. I doubt if these 'manly man' would like pink clothes.

Leave it to a place called Mystic to have it's own Grand Wizard.

That's a lower wizard at best!

I don't normally pick at the physical appearances of people just for the sake of it, but I've noticed that Trump attracts a certain type of follower. Take a look at the people in the background of the next Trump rally and tell me what you see.

Those people and these people are the same. Just a bunch of trashy hillbillies. These klansmen are not the fringe supporters of Trump's cult, they're the ones down in the front. Like wax statues melting in the sun, their eyes glazed over enraptured as word salad pours out of Donald Trump's mouth.

And don't say "well that guy wearing the klan outfit is just a troll, the other people there are not associated with that!". If you've got one Nazi in a bar full of people, you're in a Nazi bar. If you've got one klansman at a Trump rally, you're at a klan rally.

Remember that every single one of those creatures are going to vote.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But they're not going to exercise, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

They are going to exercise... their right to vote!

I'll be leaving now. You can stop throwing things.

I'm not sure what's worse - the KKK member or the person standing unashamedly next to them showing their face

The problem with "normalization" of extremist beliefs...

Put these fascists on https://magatmap.com Fascists should be identified and disenfranchised.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

In a similar vein, anybody with information should reach out to the ACC:

https://accollective.noblogs.org/

They document and oust neo nazis/fascists.

Most normal Trump supporter.

Do you think scientology is jealous that they’re getting beat by MAGA?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I know some former Christian Scientist is laughing his ass off knowing that no cult lasts long if it remains tied to their leader.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (6 children)

That's weird, I thought klansmen don't have to hide their faces behind hoods anymore after Trump. Someone should tell the guy to get with the times

Wish,com-ass kkk costume

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Come on folks. Do you think the actual KKK would have a sign saying: "Trump: Endorsed by the KKK!"

I mean Trump took an avowed white nationalist Laura Loomer to a 9/11 ceremony. We don't need to find evidence out there that Trump is racist, he's out there telling everybody himself.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I'm swerving. I won't even think about it. It's an involuntary reaction.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm pretty sure that's this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalDouche

Trolls Trump events like this pretty often, he's an entertaining watch.

The "great" times, half the US fantasize about, but then most of them will argue its always been the greatest country ever.

So yeah, not at all surprising, this runs in the open.

To be honest, attending that “event” in a KKK robe would do great to show Trump voters who they caucus with lol.

That is what is happening here. That is youtuber professional douche.

about 10 minutes from my house, there is a house that has had a red take america back flag flying for so long it's faded and kinda blown out. their neighbor had 2 small BIDEN HARRIS signs put up about 2 months ago. then the shitty neighbor put up a yard sign for the orange turd and his couch fucker running mate. it wasn't until about 2-3 weeks ago when the HARRIS WALZ signs finally started making their debut, that this guy put up a 3x4 sign with a couple more smaller yard signs.

now there's a life-sized cardboard cutout of "thumbs up" facing out the front door

Drove through New Hampshire a month ago and the road was littered with yard signs for Trump. Funny enough, once you got off the main road they became significantly less common. But someone definitely spent some time and energy absolutely littering I-93 with pro-Trump propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Didn’t some guy Sherman make it really clear that it’s legal to kill people dressing and behaving like this?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I get the feeling these people would be out yelling at black people in cars even if it weren't for Trump.
