[malaise]

1. They can defend themselves

without their guns - fuck 'em!

[dhol82]

2. I find it hard to believe that there are no Nazi lawyers out there

They just haven’t looked under enough rocks. Obviously.

3. Heaven forbid they are forced to use an overworked Public Defender

Like so many of the people they hate are forced to do.

I do not believe in Karma but I see why so many well respected people do.

6. They are not guaranteed a public defender

I was thinking the same as you until I read this part of the article:

Spencer and Peinovich, in their similar legal filings, wrote that they’ve not been able to find legal counsel in Virginia, despite what they called an “ethical obligation” by attorneys to represent unpopular opinions.

While exploring the issue in some cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has not declared an absolute right to legal representation in all civil cases, unlike criminal proceedings where public defenders can be appointed.

4. They are truly indefensible.

Ironic

[procon]

5. What, you mean there aren't any white supremacist law schools for Nazi lawyers? nt

[world wide wally]

7. They all drop out after 7th grade

[no_hypocrisy]

8. My guess why not:

1) They have refused to retain any attorney who's Jewish, non-white, not born in the U.S.

2) There are ALT-Right attorneys but they insisted on $25,000 retainers.

9. No lawyers willing to commit career suicide?

Have either of them tried the Yellow Pages? There has to be someone who graduated at the bottom of the class, earned his or her degree from some unaccredited online law school and passed the bar after 10 or 12 tries willing to represent these fine racist scumbags for the right price.

10. A Nazi looking for handouts, thats how I read it.

I bet when you get down to it Spencer doesn’t have 2 nickels to rub together.

[bitterross]

12. I think you are correct. They're looking for sympathy and money

Plain and simple, they are trying to get money and sympathy. Want to bet there's a fundraising page for them for out of town lawyers?

[DangerousRhythm]

11. Did I hear a...

...waaaaahhh?

World's tiniest violin for the Nazis.

[Phoenix61]

13. What? I thought they were all about

the free market. Now they want government regulation to guarantee them a lawyer. Suck it up buttercup and deal with it. We all hate you.

[dawg day]

14. Well,now there's that Pat Robertson law school right there near Norfolk.

Plenty of lawyers come out of that. Maybe even they aren't willing to defend Nazis.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. poor babies

Let's all shed a tear for the poor, oppressed Nazis.

Alright, enough laughing. Now get back to pointing. They walk amongst us and look human.
