When will leaders in the white community do something about the lawlessness among white gangs?

Look at these Michigan State students standing up to injustice!




This violence and destruction undermines their cause.

it'll be called "intra-white violence" and therefore what white gangs do.

Or maybe, since everything's white systemically, if they're charged with vandalism it'll be the white community dealing with white-on-white violence. (And, seriously, the Vandals weren't bad--indigenous to Northern Europe, they were refugees in search of a better life after being victimized by climate change and then denied asylum by elitist, racist Roman fascists; so why do we take their ethnonym and defile it like that, supporting fascism? We're blaming the victims, and only anti-Indigenous racists would use a word like "vandalize". What does that even mean? "Made to be like a Vandal?" Proud and Germanic speaking, yet a victim? That means we vandalized much of West Virginia! Let's avoid that bit of hate speech.)

Throw the book at them. The CRC handbook for physics and chemistry will do nicely. And then arrest and try the hooligans.

Arrest and restitution is the proper thing to do.
It’ll never happen.

domestic violent extremism. Almost entirely white RW. It does include some "leaders in (some) white communities."

When?: Already.

You know, the impending national RW uprising and possible takeover by an authoritarian white nationalist government is kind of a big problem.

Stabilizing the national mood needs to be top priority. And past time to realize that if we don't succeed some of us are going to need a place to hide from our neighbors for a while.

Don't fool yourself for a second that it's all about black people. Sympathizers have a real hate on for Democrats of all colors. We sell children for sex and ingredients for potions, and even eat them. Try to understand what that level of demonization signifies.

"Look for mean people." -- the chief indicator of when when the national sh*t may be coming to a boil and about to hit the fan. Anyone been noticing an increase in mean people?

this dangerous period safely until it's behind us, by reassuring and building hope and confidence in the future.

People prone to extremism will always be with us, but we've done it before. Existential need was what brought enough people together to make the New Deal possible and to fight off the "revolution" that simmering malcontents on both right and left wanted. While other nations fell to extremism, Democrats created a new era of unprecedented security and prosperity.

Democrats will be able to do it even better this time. We both have more to do it with and know more.

I'm sure some will disagree vehemently, but I am unsure this rises to the description of being a "gang."

It's certainly stupid and a host of other things, and the ones destroying the car ought to be arrested and prosecuted, but it's not the same as organized gangs.

Alcohol-fueled stupidity amongst young college students who I suspect much of the rest of the time just go to class and do other things, some stupid, some not.

Either way, these are our future leaders.
