A great album! But, I am not talking music this time!

I am still trying to figure out why this is considered acceptable behavior?  The last time I check being a vigilante was not condoned by law enforcement.

What do we know:

  • If you are not in danger it is unlawful to strike someone.
  • Free-speech is guaranteed by the constitution.  Even offensive speech is covered as long as no one threatens you physically.
  • Wearing an armband of the NAZI (National Socialist German Worker's Party) in public is probably not a good idea.
  • Vigilantes are willing to assault and batter you physically if they deem you to not be in line with Good Think, In other words not espousing the same rhetoric of hate against the so-called White Nationalist.
  • Vigilantes will go out of their way to do the aforementioned crime to you by even tracking you down with no real evidence since there is none that we have seen.
  • The man with the armband did not have the body language of one looking for physical confrontation.  He has his hand up.  (Remember that line, "Hands up don't shoot!"

What don't we know:

  • Did the man with the armband harass anyone?  I've seen no proof thus far.
  • What was in the rhetorical exchange prior to the assault?
  • What is the criminal history and background of each of them.
  • What were the man's intentions of wearing such an armband knowing that it may result in an incident such as this?

One thing is for certain is that some people such as, but not limited to ANTIFA believe that those who disagree with them have no right to the 1st. amendment.  There is a 1st. amendment, but it does not give vigilantes the right to decide what is worthy of free-speech and what isn't.  How far will such vigilantism go until it is finally suppressed?  Is this the beginning of a civil war? Because the actions of these so-called ANTIFA shows me that this is what they want.  Behaving just like the people you claim to hate only shows hypocrisy on their part.  ANTIFA or ANTIFA-FA (The Anti-fascist fascist) has targeted what they deem other NAZI type groups, "White Nationalists."  We know what white people are.   You probably know what a nationalist is.  If not it is worthy of researching.  Being white (or any color) and loving your country is not racist.  That would be more along the lines of Nativism. But, the mass-media referred to those as, "White-Nationalists" and wants to put all who disagree with ANTIFA-FA in one group?  Sound familiar?  Wasn't there a leader who wanted to group people who did not agree with him into the Gulag?

At what point does it end?  If it is "OK" to punch a NAZI, is it "OK" to punch anyone you disagree with including ANTIFA-FA?  Vigilantism only leads to civil unrest.  That is what these people want.  One day it is no longer limited to NAZIS, it will be all who disagree of any color especially white.  Then it will be those of you who believe in "White Privilege" but not to a high enough degree.  What goes around comes around and your time will come.  For those of you who hate the police, who will you call when it is your house that is burning and you find your family assaulted?  If it is a civil war that you want, it could be a civil war that you get.

But, to what end would someone want a civil war?
