Armed nazis in Springfield, Ohio

Found on reddit. I'm told the reason for their visit is to intimidate the Haitian immigrant community there.

  • ✨️Please be nice to the nazis. We can definitely win them over with peace, tolerance, and understanding, and we can expect them to do the same.✨️

    • I never said tolerate them. I said don’t kill them for walking down the street with guns.

      • What in the world do you think they intend to do with those guns?

        • If When it’s intimidation, we absolutely should stop that.

          But we have more tools to stop them than making speed bumps out of them. We’re allowed to be smart about things.

          • If it’s intimidation

            "If"?

            "If"???

            They are coming for our fellow brothers and sisters for no other reason than "being the wrong color".

            They intend to do harm or threaten harm. Doesn't matter if those people are children, elderly, women, or anything else. Be concerned and stop nazis by any means necessary.

            But not doing anything, you are "tolerating" it. Do not "tolerate" it. That will just let them know they are welcome to try and will not face significant opposition or consequences.

            • Thank you. I fixed it to “when” instead of if. I was using “if” in an ambiguous way.

              I’m glad you agree we should use “any way necessary” since most people replying to me are saying the only way to stop the people in the photo is to run them over with a car.

              I’m not sure who you’re reply to when you say “not doing anything” since I’ve said over and over we should stop them from intimidating others. It’s already illegal. Let’s try a legal way first. Main point from the beginning has been let’s be better than jumping straight to murder.

      • So, tolerate them. Copy that.

        • I see in other threads, you like Babylon 5 and you’ll do the ol’-redddit-a-roo which I'm very fond of.

          I’m disappointed I can’t meet you in real life. We could discuss this over some nice food. I could learn about your interests and your worldview. I bet we could even find we have a significant amount of common ground in our opinions.

          I’m sure I’m misunderstanding and you’re saying something more nuanced than what I’m hearing you say. Or maybe you really are saying people with fascist beliefs deserve to be murdered for trying to intimidate others. And then I’d be able to listen to all the assumptions and reasoning supporting that position. Perhaps it would even sway me to take up arms and start hunting people.

          ^ This is pretty much what I mean when I’m replying with “okay” but I’ve spent more time on this thread than I probably should have, so I just gave a terse reply to let them know I heard them and won’t be countering their reply. If they want to take that as a win, they’re welcome to.
