The "National Day of Hate" seems to be a flop

At least so far, judging by what I can find online -- just warnings, no news items about actual deeds.

That's a relief, of course, but it's also encouraging. Perhaps it will turn out to be as laughable and mocked as the giant rallies and marches planned by the rightwing wackos that end up being a just a small bunch of pitiful loons.

"National Day of Hate" against our Jewish community. Law enforcement is supposed to be keeping a close
eye on Synagogues today for possible attacks.

Those kinds of cowards usually come out in the comfort of darkness, the better to avoid identification.

... and their own gods, proclaim themselves to be 'hate-ists', requires an especial breed of dull, dense, doltish, deplorable, and deluded.

Hate is mental imbalance, an illness of self-identity, a dangerous social-disease and society has the right to quarantine carriers.
Evolution serves the benefit of the collective, not the individual.

Bullhorn amplified expression of hate is not victimless activity.
Denigration means bringing others down to one's own puny size.

Police, security agencies advise Jews to be on alert ahead of planned 'National Day of Hate' on Shabbat
Source: JTA

The police bulletins have circulated among Jews on social media, in WhatsApp chats and via email: A white supremacist group is calling for a “National Day of Hate” this Saturday and encouraging antisemites to vandalize and deface Jewish institutions.

Information about the antisemitic campaign was first provided by the Chicago Police Department, and a “situational awareness alert” with NYPD insignia circulating online advises local Jewish communities to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

Law enforcement and security agencies in the Chicago and New York City areas, however, say that as of Thursday afternoon, there are no known concrete threats to Jewish institutions. The NYPD did not comment on the authenticity of the bulletin with its seal but told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “While there are no identified threats to New York City, out of an abundance of caution, the Department will deploy additional resources to sensitive locations, including houses of worship, throughout the weekend.”

The Chicago Police Department said in a statement this week, “At this time, there is no actionable intelligence.” And a report from the Secure Community Network, a national group that coordinates security for Jewish institutions, said, “It should be noted, online chatter surrounding the campaign has remains limited and we assess, as in the past, this will not likely be a widespread event.”

They’re not pretending it has anything to do with pride or history or heritage, or any of the other things they say to cover up their blind, mindless, soulless hatred.
