Over the past year, antisemitic graffiti has shown up in local schools, including incidents in Clayton and Affton. In OFallon, it appeared inside a home under construction.
Then came something more serious.
In Clayton, an antisemitic arson attack destroyed cars outside a Jewish familys home a case that remains unsolved months later, even as investigators continue to ask for tips.
Another incident. Another response. Then, eventually, another incident.

(51 posts)There is a group of counties that would like to separate from the northern blue part of the state, I did believe it was just based on race, this says it much deeper.

(19,066 posts)Making Fascists just like the ordinary Joe Blow who also has a right to share their opinions and act out in ways that advances their political agendas. They are just violent young men who are trying to force their opinions on to others with their fists and baseball bats. Outlets must be made available so they can vent all their pent up energies. We should just let them be and encourage their camaraderie among and with each other in their Nazi group.
trDUMP's coddling of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Boogaloo Boys, Patriot Front, and Atomwaffen - pardoning them with a Presidential Pardon, then giving them clemency, then kicking open the door for civil law suits against the former DOJ's of Obama and Biden claiming these Nazis have been wronged. Then these very same Nazis hope to win multi million dollar lawsuits to advance themselves financially and fatten the coffers of their extremist Nazi groups, thus advancing their Nazi message and enhancing their membership roles.
This open door - bear hug policy of Team trDUMP toward these Nazi groups is very detrimental to a functioning Democracy,... which is their motive by design. It also sends a clear and bullhorn loud message to these Nazi groups - that Team trDUMP has your back. Guaranteeing them that they will never suffer repercussions as long as Daddy Donnie is at the helm navigating this Nazi ship of state through these fascist waters.
This love of all that is Nazi,... is causing American society to go crashing through the rusty gates and entering hell,... threatening our viability of maintaining a healthy population and a healthy Democracy.
Thank you President Donald J. Trump.

As it was, it took THREE major military superpowers (USA, UK, and USSR) and four plus years to finally crush them. Without that, there would have been no Nuremberg trials and probably no repercussions to Nazi leaders.

There's a definite mean streak in our nation, upstaged only by our dedication to ignorance.
