I am not resting easy yet.

A bunch of people who are basically straight-up Nazis just got humiliated. They’re hurting, they’re angry, and they’re in my city.

And they’re pants-on-head dumbshits. (One of their posters bemoaned the “erogion [sic] of our rights.”) That’s not a comfort: sometimes that’s the most dangerous kind of right-winger. Their utter amateurishness means they have no sense of constraints and no sense of consequences. I don’t know what they’ll try to do next.

We remain wary and •highly• watchful. But I’m going to take the win on this round.

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell Take the win; you all have earned it. Tomorrow's another day but any day a Nazi is pushed off the street with his tail between his legs is a good one.

It's the security guard/Y2K effect: "We were worried over nothing" ignoring the quiet community maintenance and resiliency work to ensure nothing happens.
