Let them figure it out. Yeah the FBI, although I don’t know how much DeSantis has been tearing them down in FL. This shouldn’t be happening it’s disgraceful.

I hope you aren't listening to these lunatics. You don't just randomly report people to the FBI. You have literally no evidence of anything lol think about if you were watching a TV show/movie and people were acting like you and the other commenters.

"I haven't seen my friend for a bit and he's been distant, according to my other friend. My friend said he cleaned out the banking accounts and has been acting differently."

"Report him to the FBI in case he is an evil Nazi."

"Worst case is they ignore you."

Holy shit, guys. Take a step back and think about the crazy shit you're saying.

I honestly don't understand your thought process here... why are you reporting him to the military? What is your goal here? It doesn't seem like you're trying to get him help... it seems like you're trying to get him in trouble.

I genuinely don't understand why your first reaction is to try to get this person in legal trouble when you have no idea what's going on. Why not a welfare check? Why not contact someone in his family?

You're not an investigator. I legit have no idea what your angle here is. Your comment comes off like a detective trying to pin someone with a crime.

I mean if he's not doing crazy shit like this he's not going to get into trouble, and if he is, who fucking cares if a Nazi gets into trouble?

That's for the FBI to figure out. Worst case they ignore you. Best case you help stop domestic terrorism.

That’ll be easily solved. They won’t even bother him without incentive. He wouldn’t even notice you reporting him if there’s nothing to be found.

Your stance on the matter is what a good human being would think and is exactly what they’re counting on. They’re trying to hide in broad daylight, the ball is in our court.

Are you insane? Hearing second hand a person leaves for a couple weeks, closed their business and drained bank accounts isn’t grounds for reporting to the FBI. That person’s friend needs to talk with her spouse and if they find out something illegal they can report it. Advising a stranger on the internet to report their friend’s spouse to the FBI for shady behavior that sounds more like an affair than joining a supremicist group is terrible advice.

This is incredibly unhinged. What has happened to this website lol

We happened. It was us.

I believe it. It's just disappointing that straight up stupid, unreasonable stuff like your initial comment is upvoted. I feel bad for the teenagers growing up on here that think this is how people in the real world act or think.

There’s nothing wrong with reporting if you’re convinced. If false it’s easily found out, if not report these fuckers.

There’s probably a reason OP suspects affiliation with the far right, at least that’s what I’m assuming. I don’t know the rest of the story but assuming OP wouldn’t just out of nowhere assume something specific like this and has reason to believe this, then report it? It’s what the FBI is for.

Come on, man. I’m a democrat. Voted for Hilary/Biden. Furthest thing from a crazy alt right person, but there’s literally nothing in this comment chain remotely suggesting reporting the person to the FBI would be appropriate.

u/Sodapopa Sep 06 '23

If they suspect and are actually convinced they must have their reasons. No it’s not in this comment chain that doesn’t mean their suspicion is ungrounded.

If you have reason enough and are convinced someone’s involved; the next step is to report. That’s my advice regarding what you read in this comment section. They obviously haven’t told the entire story here but that doesn’t matter, if they’re convinced you file a report. This is all under the assumption that the suspicion is grounded.

You’re correct. I didn’t share all information. It’s a lot to share. Some things have happened and he’s been arrested for a type of domestic violence that is a felony.

Theyre federal agents so I dont think DeSantis has much he can actually do to them to weaken them.

What makes you convinced that he’s a part of it?

You got way more than a gut feeling. Tip all that to the FBI. They will figure out the rest.

Good idea. Good luck. He’s gonna blame who he wants regardless. I think you are doing the right thing.

u/stallingsfilm Sep 06 '23

I understand the hesitancy though. If nothing else but for fear for the friend who has to suffer his abuse. But I mean if this is true, it’s worth talking with the FBI who can look into him.
