The group left in a U-Haul box truck that was driven out of the county, police said, indicating the demonstrators were outsiders.
A small group of neo-Nazis marched in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Saturday, drawing a few vocal opponents and ultimately leaving following a “challenge,” police said.
The demonstrators, all men, wore red, long-sleeve T-shirts and black pants, and some carried black Nazi flags, according to verified social media video from the scene.
“Neo-Nazi demonstrators … carried flags with swastikas, walked around the Capitol and parts of downtown Saturday afternoon,” Nashville police said in a statement.
No arrests were reported, and the group left in a U-Haul box truck that ultimately exited greater Nashville, police said, indicating the demonstrators may have been from out of town.
“Some persons on Broadway challenged the group, most of whom wore face coverings,” the department said. “The group headed to a U-Haul box truck, got in, and departed Davidson County.”
The only good nazi is a dead nazi.
I was ban of reddit fur saying that x3
Lemmy is actually leftist unlike Reddit.
Telling Nazis they should follow Hitler’s lead and kill themselves is just a Tuesday here.
People need to start taking the paradox of tolerance seriously.
“How do I compromise with someone who wants to put me standing at a wall and shoot me? Stand sideways?”
The compromise is to put them in jail.
They want to kill you, so instead of killing them, just jail them.
I know it was rhetorically, just wanted to give that answer.
And how well did that work with Adolph Hitler? History seems to suggest that jailing would-be Fascist dictators only delays the inevitable, and tends to work in their favor by galvanizing their followers over the “injustice” of their incarceration. For moral and ethical reasons, I truly wish that were the appropriate response. History says it isn’t nearly as final as the solutions these maniacs devise for their scapegoats.
Fascism doesn’t happen cause of single individuals, it’s caused by a country going through turmoil. Those individuals, that always existed, finally get a significant audience at that time.
If your talking about root cause fixes, you got to fix the decaying system.
And were followed to wherever they parked their mom’s cars, and were shot, thrown in a pile, and burned, as is customary with Nazis and Fascists right?
They went back to the library where they work as janitors.
Never insult any job people do. What makes you money isn’t who you are, and doesn’t make you better or worse than anyone else
Janitors perform a vital service that keeps society running, their jobs are important and good.
But I will never stop insulting cops, boarder agents, or prison guards. Their jobs do, in fact, make them worse than everyone else.
the fact they’re not in jail atm is a failure of the system
So you’re against freedom of speech?
nazis don’t deserve any freedoms at all.
There is no middle ground between genocide and peace.
Who else do we know that wants to imprison people simply because of their beliefs?
Now, before you accuse me of “bootlicking,” or “sympathizing,” know that I find Nazis to be among the most abhorrent people that have ever existed- but I also also recognize that simply having a belief- regardless of how shitty it is- should never be a punishable offense.
Lest we become what we hate in others.
Sorry no, there is a clear line between ‘people I don’t like’, with ‘people who talk of genocide’.
Cool. You are exactly what you hate. And to me, just as bad as they are. You don’t get to play by THEIR rules just because you believe they are wrong…. .
You play by THE rules because you know you ARE right.
Keep defending nazis, I’m sure it will work out for you.
Point out the part where I did that.
A Trump rally in Nashville?
Not every Republican is a Nazi. But, every Nazi is Republican.
UHaul truck?
Should have pulled it over and cited everyone in it for seatbelt violations, at least get a list of their names.
Theyve been riding around in uhauls for a few years now. They did arrest an uhaul full of patriot front members in Idaho a couple years back. But they all got charged with conspiracy to riot not lack of safety violations.
Guess the police have gotten so used to truck fulls of these idiots making appearances, they escort them out and just let em go…
Some of those who work forces…
I almost had a thought about one article I saw about how patriot front was seen being helped into the trailer by the local police force. Of course the article went on to conclude that PF must be FBI in disguise… They couldnt possibly be the same that burn crosses.
