Summary

A group of masked men with Nazi flags protested outside a performance of “The Diary of Anne Frank” in Howell, Michigan, shouting antisemitic slurs.

Audience members were reportedly frightened and needed escorts to their cars. The Fowlerville Community Theatre, which staged the play, described the protesters' presence as a disturbing reminder of the fear faced by Holocaust victims.

The Anti-Defamation League condemned the display. The incident follows other recent displays of racism in the area.

No, the real way to show 'em is to punch them square in the jaw. If you're acting the part of a Nazi, you'd better get ready for what the public is prepared to do to Nazis.

get ready for what the public is prepared to do to Nazis.

Elect them to office?

Too soon to call them nazis? No, go ahead. I'd prefer if we didn't dilute the term, so if fascist is more accurate, then maybe use that instead. But if someone's a nazi, call them out, document it, make their employers know who they have on their payroll.

Too soon to joke about? Yes, definitely. Joking about the current situation dulls people's perception of what's happening. You need Americans to have their eyes wide open for what's coming.

I took OP's comment as being made in jest, thus my "too soon" comment.

I took it as the statement of an uncomfortable fact that we have to deal with. And saying "too soon" is what the gun lobby in the US says after a school shooting.

They did a fairly extensive study in the 1940s on how to deal with Nazis.

Findings were that punching, while not necessarily a bad thing to do to them, was quite a bit less effective than other forms of engagement due to the Nazi having a tendency to get back up after a punch alone.

What Would Captain America Do?

[–] PriorityMotif 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Currently on court supervision for assault so it's not worth it. They want a negative reaction anyway.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Well, if they want a broken jaw, we should oblige them.

Thank you for your service. Unfortunately it is worth it and a lot more of us need to be doing our part so we can avoid getting caught by the state.

Let everyone know that if you put diesel exhaust fluid (def) into a diesel fuel tank that it will completely destroy the entire fuel system causing thousands of dollars of damage. You definitely don't want to do that.
