Terrified Charlottesville Nazi Strips Off His White Power Costume To Escape Angry Protesters -





VIRAL VIDEO: Terrified Charlottesville Nazi Strips Off His White Power Costume To Escape Angry Protesters
August 17, 2017 Extremists, Nazis

GQ Magazine reports:

It was Saturday, and the police had finally called for everyone to clear the park. As I filmed officers opening up a blocked street, a young man ran into view, screaming for help. He wore the khaki-and-white uniform of the white nationalist group Vanguard America. He had been separated from them and was being chased by at least one protester. He ripped off his shirt and begged the crowd for mercy. He wasn’t actually into white power, you see.

Barely,” he clarified to me. As he shoved his polo shirt into a plastic bag, the fear on his face settled into a smirk. “It’s kind of a fun idea,” he explained. “Just being able to say ‘white power,’ you know?” I didn’t know. But by the look of things, the fun of shouting “white power” stopped as soon as he was threatened with the same violence his group brought to bear on others. Cut off from the pack, forced to face the consequences of his inflammatory behavior, he found escape in a costume change.

you will have that scar on you for the rest of your life, your face has been seen. Social media can be very effective to weed out these hate groups.

...when separated from the pack. It's all about rancid groupthink and pack mentality...

...and that what people like Spencer and Strom count on.

there was a very different outcome. Nazis beat him savagely and tried to kill him. Black people can't take off their skin.

But of course both sides are the same, fine people, snowflakes need to move on, let it go, etc.
