Vigilantes.... well, actually, when you keep somebody somewhere against their will, that's kidnapping, but we'll let that go, because.... well... Freedom! Murika!
If these folks had only been armed.... they could have shot their way out of this thing. You know... good guys with guns.
JHC! We're gonna see more of this.
"A multi-racial family who tried to go camping in Forks, Washington were allegedly harassed and threatened by locals who accused them of being antifa members coming to riot. The Spokane family of four told Clallam County sheriffs deputies that seven or eight carloads of people confronted them in a parking lot on Wednesday when they stopped to buy camping supplies. The family assured the group they were not antifa members but were just camping.
At least four cars, some of which appeared to have people carrying semi-automatic rifles, followed the family as they drove to the campsite. As they pitched a tent, the family reported hearing gunshots and power saws. They decided to leave but found trees had been cut down to block the road out. Four local high-school students ended up calling police and using chainsaws to help clear the roadway for the family, the sheriffs department said in a statement. A criminal investigation is underway."

(2,561 posts)The area is mostly Native American - Quileute Indian Reservation - and some Hispanic. NOT the town, it's 85% white. Lotta poor whites. The area is logging and fishing, mostly, so it's already poor, and boycotting will hurt the poor worst.
Shitty situation.
The local paper covered the story a little differently. It pointed out that a dipshit ammosexual from another little town about 60 miles away had the rednecks all riled up, and probably was involved. The kidnappers were probably from miles away.
"Seth Larson, owner of FREDS Guns 2.0 in Carlsborg, had urged people to carry guns to a protest organized in Sequim to protect Sequim businesses from Antifa, a political protest movement comprising autonomous groups in militant opposition to fascism. He said he had heard Antifa was busing in protesters."
