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.

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…
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
close enough
welcome back Black Panthers
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.
KKK aren’t the only ones who can run militias.
The rally, where participants waved swastikas
Why isn’t this enough to shot them in the face?
Millions died at war to stop swastika-waving scum, and the world united to never allow this to happen again, so why is American society suddenly ok with letting them terrorize communities?
Because the Venn diagram of those waving swastikas and those enforcing the law is nearly a circle.
Some of those that burn crosses???
Blue by Day, White by Night. On a Klan/Cop button I have from the 70s
Almost all of the WW2 vets are gone man. I worry that the far right resurgence around the world is being allowed to happen because people are simply ignorant to the horror of WW2. I remember talking to someone younger than me about Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust. He didn’t seem to think much of the Holocaust which I found disturbing. I started bringing up the numbers and I could see the shock in his face. He genuinely didn’t seem to grasp just how many people were murdered because of fascism.
History classes in the US cover WW2, but barely touch on the causes of WW2.
History classes in the US are patriot washed to convince soon to be laborers that they’re living in the greatest country to ever possibly exist.
You ever been to an anti far right protest? You can tell who the cops like more. It’s the cowards in hoods

The resurrection of the Black Panthers
When it’s necessary, it’s necessary
May as well. We’re well on our way to being third-world anyway

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. Wikipedia
Ah, Reagan. What a racist piece of shit. Too bad someone with better aim didn’t try to impress Jodie Foster.
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.
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.
If so only locally. “States rights” and all.
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 imagine showing up to be the voice of the people and banning something termed “cop watching” and not hanging yourself right after.
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 lawamd order. I just don’t think the police will use law and order to protect us.”
He supports “law enforcement”, not “the police”.
Are the fucking neo-Nazis showing up in Tesla Cyber trucks? They fucking asswipes should be.
I would wadger to guess that the majority of Neo-Nazis that show up to rallies like that on not in a tax bracket that could afford a cybertruck 😆
They roll in the back of rented U-Haul trucks like the warriors they are 🫠
Dollar store APC
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
We need these in every neighbor hood now
This ends with blood in the streets. We just need to decide whose blood.
When there is blood, highly likely it will be from both.
Alas, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of both patriots and tyrants.
It is with a heavy heart we must accept this and move forward, as our elected leaders have now left us with virtually no other choice.
