Summary
Following a February 7th neo-Nazi rally, residents of Lincoln Heights, a majority-Black Ohio town, formed an armed Safety and Watch Program to protect against hate groups.
The rally, where participants waved swastikas and shouted slurs, received little police intervention, sparking fears of future threats when no arrests or identifications were made during the incident.
Volunteers now patrol bus stops and neighborhoods. “I’ve never felt safer as a Black man in my community,” said spokesperson Daronce Daniels.
The historically underserved and self-governing community shows strong support for the initiative with yard signs and sees this as a continuation of its legacy of self-reliance and community defense.
Getting organized is good.
Individuals just yolo shooting Nazis and CEOs is kind of heart warming, but real power I think comes from organizing.
yeah but you don’t expect that shit from first world country, america is in decline
That why the rest of the world expect this from the USA
So the white sherif is more worried about black folks wearing masks and carry assault rifles than the neo Nazis wearing masks and carrying weapons? And not identifying them?
I understand cops don’t want to arrest their friends, but this is pretty bad, even by those standards.
its almost as if the cops are the ones behind the masks, the way they are protecting them…
Some of those that work forces…
May as well. We’re well on our way to being third-world anyway

welcome back Black Panthers
KKK aren’t the only ones who can run militias.
This will be the thing that finally gets us gun control.
Forget it. If you can’t imagine the government rounding up all the stockpiles of weapons from right wingers around the country, you should be against any further gun control. Our enemies are already well armed. Don’t make it harder for the rest of us.
Watch gun control laws suddenly appear.
Wake up, babe! New Republican gun restrictions are about to drop!

All this happens because Americans are obsessed with race. The first time I was asked about my race was when I applied for my visa
It’s fucking hog-wash I tell ya
The cops didn’t didn’t show up for the same reason that you never see Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus at the same time.
They were already there! Just in a different uniform
Good news: Law enforcement has operatives highly placed in every domestic terror organization.
Bad news: they are not informants.
What uniforms were Hannah and Miley wearing?
The same ones
Like they were identical to each other or they were identical to the Nazis?
Well, let me put it this way, Hannah and Miley wear the same clothes all the time, much like how police and white nationalist wear the same clothes all the time.
I got it I got it, I was just making a stupid jokey joke
No worries
Wanna bet this community sees a temporary decrease in crime?
Hell, I personally would feel safer as an opponent of facism there too.
History shows us that this will not be tolerated for long though, regardless of the constitutional right. I hope this idea is picked up elsewhere. There are a lot of places that could benefit from running their own regulated militia: cities, towns, and neighborhoods.
I mean I can certainly imagine, why.
But this feels so strange, reading as European…
Ask someome in their 90’s if it feels strange.
You wanna bet they’re gonna make some laws now to restrict them because black people are exercising their 2nd amendment rights.
That’s the part I’m curious about. California did enact a law in 1967 requiring permits to openly carry loaded firearms, but the Black Panthers didn’t just go away.
Anything enacted at a federal level will get pushback, and I’m very curious about how it will be constructed to avoid pissing off their support. In either way, I would presume that people aren’t just going to passively hand over their guns. We know how that ends up.
That will be the true test on how strong fascism is in this country. I have ten bucks on Republicans willingly handing their firearms over at the direction of the current administration after decades of not being able to shut the fuck up about keeping their 2a rights.
Black father’s are why Reagan, and the NRA passed gun control in the past. Fox will be fully utilized to push an agenda of dis-arming pigmented people. And when enough of the community has forgotten the experiment, they will go back to pushing ‘gun rights’.

Have you seen Alabama, Arkansas or anything outside of Miami Florida? It isn’t pretty.
If the cops didn’t do shit when the Nazis came, why do they think the cops won’t fuck them over if they try to stop the Nazis?
Cowards tend to back down when confronted on equal grounds. This is essentially a resurgence of the Black Panther movement, which worked quite well doing the exact same thing.
I wonder if this will trigger republicans to enact gun laws
Mulford Act A 1967 California bill to repeal the law that permitted citizens to carry loaded weapons in public places The Mulford Act was a 1967 California bill that prohibited public carrying of loaded firearms without a permit. Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford, and signed into law by governor of California Ronald Reagan, the bill was crafted with the goal of disarming members of the Black Panther Party who were conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods, in what would later be termed copwatching.

Ah, Reagan. What a racist piece of shit. Too bad someone with better aim didn’t try to impress Jodie Foster.
Or at least a bigger caliber. Why do all these would be assassin’s not spend and extra 200 dollars in range time. Meanwhile kennedy gets the fucking marine that bullseye’s womp bats with a garand.
I’m pretty sure kennedy got a little more attention than that
No way, it was clearly only the guy who was immediately murdered while in police custody.
Ah shit, case closed.
Now I whisper in my partners ear “Damn he’s good”
Fun fact: Reagan kicked off his 1980 campaign with a speech in Philadelphia MS - a middle-of-nowhere city known for absolutely fucking nothing except the murder of three civil rights workers in 1964.
If so only locally. “States rights” and all.
Lmfao imagine showing up to be the voice of the people and banning something termed “cop watching” and not hanging yourself right after.
An interesting distinction, so you could carry an unloaded rifle, and a magazine or ammunition in your pocket and be totally legal and still ready to defend yourself if needed
That would depend entirely on what skin color you’re wearing that day.
Which depends entirely on who you brought home last night.
Lmfao that went south, quickly.
This is essentially a resurgence of the Black Panther movement, which worked quite well doing the exact same thing.
Well, up until it got COINTELPRO’d and the cops assassinated Fred Hampton, at least.
What other options remain?
He said he supports law enforcement, but that its handling of the Feb. 7 demonstration doesn’t give him faith that it will protect him in the future. For that reason, he says he’s proud of the neighborhood safety and watch program, even though he wishes it weren’t needed.
Well for starters opposing the police instead of supporting them.
You gotta virtue signal sometimes. Purity testing every word people say will get the movement nowhere.
Plus, the quote only effectively says “I want law and order. I just don’t think the police will use law and order to protect us.”
He supports “law enforcement”, not “the police”.
Funny thing is, if they kill all the Nazis, there ain’t be any cops left to fuck them over.
The cops did plenty! They openly fraternized with them and then escorted the Nazis away where they openly fraternized with them again. Wait a minute…

She said this measure would have given her officers more leeway to make arrests during the neo-Nazi rally.
Isn’t this just an acknowledgement that the mask wearers weren’t breaking any law, but the Sheriff just really wanted to arrest them for some reason?

No, generally we would love people shooting at people invading their community while identifying openly as a fascist…
Sometimes they say the quiet part out loud.
