And that's pretty sad and extremrly unfortunate.

Thoughts?

Definitely disturbing, but we know nothing about who might have done this (beyond the fact that whoever did it is a sick, disgusting person). It is not prudent to assume that it was (or wasn’t) a Trump supporter. There have been incidents of “racist hate crimes” that have been done by Trump opponents to make him look bed - remember Jusse Smollet? Let’s allow the authorities to investigate and hopefully find and punish the perpetrators.

Content to let the investigation run. Could be foreign operatives, could be domestic.

Don't much care about party affiliation of who did it. Why I didn't bring it up, get specofic or point in a direction.

[Smarty1]

Fair enough. It’s pretty sad and disturbing regardless of who did it. There are those who read these posts (on both sides politically) who will not wait for the facts before bloviating about something like this. I was directing my point generally, not specifically toward you.

There was an Order of the Black Sun banner hung up yesterday on the Liberty Bridge pedestrian walkway

And a "Hail Trump, Hail Hitler" banner either swastikas on a bridge over 376

New round of hate... with emails targeting Hispanics and LQBTQ+

[HDGristle]

Someone's definitely feeling emboldened. Are Nazis or want people to think they're Nazis. Sad.

Meal Team Six upfront is fucking with their drip, tho

They got picked up shortly afterwards it seems due to some things that occurred during their little march

Must be democrat dirty tricks again.

Meanwhile, trump is busy nominating prominent Hispanics and gays like Marco Rubio and Richard Grenell to Cabinet-level positions.

[HDGristle]

Must be? Pretty narrow set of possibilities in your thought process there

[lustylad]

Three nut jobs marching in downtown Columbus OH do not a movement make. Anything else you want to blow way out of proportion?

[HDGristle]

Who said movement?

Some folks feel emboldened to pull this shit. At least 7. At least 4 were hiding behind Meal Team 6.

Dispatch said a dozen. DeWine was quick to condemn Neo-Nazis.

They were temp detained and released

Dude - I can remember when the ACLU defended the right of Nazis to march through Skokie, IL. It was a much larger group back then (1977). Universally despised - but still granted 1st Amendment rights. Neither of our major political parties tried to smear or taint the other as a haven for nazis or racists, as you and tommy are clumsily trying to do here.

[HDGristle]

Dude. Again, you're having some kind of argument with the version of me that's apparently living rent free in your head. Step back from that nonsense.

This isn't about one side or another. It's about some folks who feel emboldened to intimidate people. Idk which side is doing it. Don't pretend to.

Step back, see it for what it is.
