These families never imagined their loved ones would be drawn to Neo-Nazi groups. Now they're fighting to get them back and begging the government to help.

Look I know this is incredibly petty of me but the grouping on those targets there's a photo of is dogshit.

Anyway folks remember, a judge found that Mr Sewell was "of good character" and had a history of helping young men. Just if you're confused as to how this shit is allowed to happen.

There's one fucking thing you do to Nazis, it's self defense.

Violence begets more violence. We need conversations to bring people out of this mindset.

Intervention for people falling down into the propaganda? Sure. Once you declare yourself the enemy of almost the entire human species idk how much tolerance you deserve.

You don't accidentally decide that killing everyone who isn't a straight white cis man or a subserviant straight white cis woman is a good and worthy goal.

Like I don't care how lonely you are, that's fucked. Join a stitch and bitch don't plan a race war.
