Nazi-esque Black Lives Matter Protesters

Published

Forcing anybody to believe in something that they don't resembles the tactics used by the Nazis. This type of behavior is disgusting. Correct me if I'm wrong but I've yet to see a conservative group accost patrons enjoying a meal.

In my opinion this was simply rude behavior. No common courtesy. The disruptive people should have been told to leave the restaurant. I would have told the staff why I was leaving if they wouldn't or couldn't stop their taunts.

Their behavior was wrong and unwanted, but not the systematic murder of millions of people that fell into the 'undesirable' classification by the Nazis. Nazi atrocities ranged from gassing to drowning. Beatings, property crimes, torture, experiments, and many other crimes were carried out by Nazis and justified as acceptable due to national laws Hitler passed.

Yes, but they didn't start with murder.  They started with low level insidious intimidation.  Harrassing people in restaurants is not rude.  Loud burping is rude.  Harrassing people is intimidation.  The staff were as intimidated as the patrons.  The perps were just testing the waters.  They're checking to see just how much power they can exert over the unsuspecting public.  If there is no pushback, we will see how far they can go.

I'm not a big fan of the term "Nazi" for everything I disagree with.  But current events are somewhat chilling.

The nazi philosophy was based on racial superiority whereas BLM is trying to achieve equality. Big difference there.


 

I'm not so sure.  I think we're supposed to think it's about equality.  I'm really seeing it being more about power.

Really? So BLM has power now or are they trying to take power? Who has the power if BLM doesn't? How cam BLM have power if they don't even have equity or justice? If they are getting more powerful right now, what do you think might be fueling that? Do you think that BLM gains power everytime police abuse a citizen?

I don't believe that boy is a conservative. Most people who identify as conservative are good people, in my opinion.

I don't think too many 17 year olds are of any firm persuasion.  At that age they just think it's fun to jump in and get involved.  I suspect a lot of the BLM and Antifa front-liners are basement-dwellers looking for a bit of excitement.   They're useful idiots for the power behind the scenes.

Have you tried donating to BLM?  Check their website.  See what their mission is and especially, where the donations go.  It gets interesting.

BLM is trying to take power from the liberals. They want to turn the Democrat party even further left than it is now. 

The 5 demands they have listed are very telling.

Surrender – Empty the precincts. Disarm & defund the police. Justice for George Floyd.

Stand Down – End curfews and road closures. Withdraw the National Guard

Free Food and Supplies – Allow the free redistribution of goods from damaged businesses.

Amnesty for all – Drop all charges. Cease investigations.

Free Assembly – Right to protest & grieve however we feel necessary.

Yea, thats not going to happen in our society.  Sorry not sorry.  Nobody gets to protest however they feel necessary especially when you loot, burn and destroy property, injure innocent people and expect zero consequences.  BLM morphed into a anarchist terrorist group.

You should tell me about it.  I'm curious as to what you find interesting about it.  Because it wasn't BLM that killed people yesterday and BLM isn't at all like Nazis.

No really? You mean people can't protest armed in front of a governor's residence or on the steps of state buildings? You mean there won't be anymore white people riots over sporting event outcomes? Come on...join us in reality. 

Just because the mad king has morphed BLM into the boogeyman in his failing mind and for his loyalists fear quota, doesn't mean that is true.  How have you not noticed that if Trump is talking he is lying, exaggerating, inflating, conflating, confusing, misinforming, blaming, deflecting, projecting or praising himself? Trump's nonsense about BLM is no different...feelings wrapped in beliefs supported by bias, encouraged by bigotry and elevated by malignant narcissism. 

It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous.

So explain to me how forcing somebody to do something they don't want to do under the threat of physical harm up to and including death is different than an early style Nazi tactic.  This would be pre 1939.

Never forget, Nazis tore down statues. Banned free speech. Blamed economic hardships on one group of people. Institute gun control. Sound familiar?”

No one is banning freedom of speech, of course you’re upset that statues celebrating white supremacy are being removed, capitalism is rightly identified as a source of inequity and injustice, and not all leftists support gun control.

When you get in somebody's face and demand they give you the salute you want or else, well.....call me crazy but thats banning free speech at a minimum.  Capitalism is why you have a computer to type upon.  Go to Venezuela if you don't like capitalism and let me know how much you like socialism.

No, really it's not the same as banning speech. It's one person being rude and inappropriate with another person. Are you implying that there aren't computers in Venezuela?

Or, many BLM protesters are people who have experienced unacceptable behavior from police themselves or care about someone who has experienced it.  Mistreatment by police isn't uncommon in this country, never has been for some citizens. 

The useful idiots are the armed and violent folks simply trying to start undeserved trouble for BLM...just like cute little cherub cheeks Kyle. He was there to run toward trouble with his illegal firearm and poor judgement.  

On a side note I was really hoping that there was an audio of Dana Loesch saying those words out loud. I kind of miss her apocalyptic proclamations from the hallowed halls of the NRA.
