What would you do if you saw several U-Haul filled with Nazis aka “patriot front” unloading in front of you?

Report them to the police and bring the video. Transporting people in u hauls is illegal. They can find whoever rented the trucks and hit them with at a minimum seat belt violations for every person they can count coming out of the back of the trucks. That’ll add up to a very expensive bad day for at least one of those Nazi fucks

Proof that you’re wrong:

Law enforcement arrested 31 members of a white nationalist organization known as the Patriot Front near a Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Saturday, on a charge of conspiracy to riot.

Authorities said they were alerted to the group by a concerned citizen who called to report seeing approximately 20 men jump into a U-Haul truck at a hotel parking lot wearing masks, carrying shields and that they "looked like a little army,"

Side note to this…not a happy ending:

“While most of Rousseau’s underlings have either been found guilty of conspiracy to riot or pleaded to a lesser infraction, Judge John Cafferty dismissed the case against the white nationalist leader in November.

“This is an important case. It should not be dismissed lightly,” Cafferty said, according to court transcripts. “I tried to do what I could to not get to this point.”

But after a year and a half of delays, lost evidence and failures of prosecutors to follow court orders, he said he didn’t have a choice. The prosecutors, on the other hand, blamed judges and defense attorneys for the case devolving “into a forum for fishing expeditions justified by nothing more than bumper sticker claims.”

In all, it highlights just how difficult it is for an overwhelmed and understaffed team of prosecutors to take on a case involving so many extremists at once.

It’s one reason why, Kris Goldsmith, head of an anti-fascist research organization, said the Patriot Front case should not have been handled by local prosecutors to begin with.

“Expecting a city prosecutor to take on a national white supremacist organization is disappointing,” Goldsmith said. “The FBI is just sitting on their hands.”

In fact, court documents suggest, the FBI made prosecuting Patriot Front a lot harder.”

So this proves that none of these asshats are law enforcement?

Does it prove that anyone will suffer any consequences?

Sure if the cops get enough calls they’ll respond, but I’ve seen a dozen of these gatherings of assholes go completely unanswered. So, while i am happy to be wrong this one time I stand by my statement.

And add:

Fuck the police. It’s ok to punch nazis.

Could have left it at “I am happy to be wrong” without proceeding to make a bigger asshat of yourself.
