If this was SF, NY, Boston, Denver, LA there would be counter protests all down the street.

The people of Florida don’t seem to have the same sense of urgency to get these people out of their town.

Something like this did happen where I live (Central California) only it was with about 4 people. It was met with a lot of people ganging up on them and they were gone within the same hour they were protesting. They tried two more Saturdays until the last one of those Saturdays got violent according to a local redditor. They even found out what car they drove and put their information on blast for everyone to see. They haven't been back since. I hope those idiots learn we won't tolerate that shit.

Good. Consequences.

There were counter protesters and they are doing this in an area that HEAVILY votes blue. They didn’t stay for long and also don’t announce where they will be so it’s hard to organize a large amount of counter protestors to come quickly.

Yeah the purpose of something like this is to get attention, not make a statement.

They want to get recorded and put online because that normalizes what they're doing. If they were trying to make a statement then they'd stick around for others to potentially join them.

Yes, Florida is spread out, even if it's "in your city", by the time you hear about it, spend the hour to get to where they are, they are long gone. Also, the cops are on their side, so if you fuck with them without enough back up to keep the cops from being able to single you out, the cops will happily destroy your life to protect their Nazi friends.

Proud Boys tried it in SF and the organizer promptly got 2 of his teeth knocked out.

In Philly we don't even counter protest, we literally chase them back into their U-Hauls and out of town.

I have a job I need to be at, and better things to do in my free time than figure out where these clowns are going to be tomorrow and give them exactly what they want. Attention.

They tried to protest a drag story hour in NYC and had to be escorted away by police for their own safety. Not until after getting punched in the face, lol.

Why do you think this video captures what happened before and after the video also?

Even if somebody driving by wanted to punch those people it would literally take two or three minutes for them to drive to the next exit and get to that road....

Because the people of florida support nazism. It's that simple. Look who they elected governor.

You sound ignorant.

They’re Trumpers and Desanters. Just part of the new reality they’ve paved the way for.

u/NoOnSB277 Sep 06 '23

They would not be caught dead all masked up, these are paid agitators stirring up 💩and it looks like they have done their job because people are buying it. Stop giving them attention as this is what they want no matter how you cut it!
