(51,227 posts)They went out and bought Nazi tikis and matching outfits so they would look good when the photos were taken.
This twitter feed is just helping them do what they set out to do.
When you have marched, would you be ashamed if someone showed a picture of you doing so and supporting the causes that you support?

(23,738 posts)Can people change? Should this follow them for the rest of their lives.
The internet is a cruel place.

(51,227 posts)Because it's not mine.
As far as accurate identification, what I am seeing is people linking back to facebook and other social media of the photographed men that are chock full of more Nazi rhetoric.
The only misidentification I have seen so far is the early lies by the Nazis that a liberal from Michigan was the driver of the car.

How should we as a nation respond? It seems to me that a reasonable first step is to identify the people who perpetrated this horrific violence.
They're not going to stop if we ignore them. Listen to what they're saying. They want to take over the country.
I want to know who they are. They marched openly. They didn't cover their faces. They wore t-shirts quoting Hitler. They carried shields with Nazi symbols. They have websites.
They killed and hurt my sisters and brothers. They claimed to do this in my name. I'm white. I want these people identified and prosecuted and shunned.

(51,227 posts)No one is convicting and punishing anyone without proof.
People are sharing photos of the actions these people took knowing they would be photographed.
Calling that vigilantism is absurd.

(31,261 posts)The haters there need to lose their jobs and relationships. That is really the only way stuff like this will be stopped, racists regardless of their color must be exposed and made to pay a stiff social price and that should be made public along with why.

(816 posts)No lie I knew a guy whose twin was ALWAYS getting in trouble ( twin had drug issues.) state and local police would get the description (one time the guy was pointed out by the victim as he walked across the street minding his business.) anyway This poor guy was getting hauled in a lot. The cops ( state and local-- felt for the guy.) They just show up and say...Sorry,_____. he is in trouble again.
The Guy lost 2 jobs because cops would show up at his work places. His saving grace was the job he finally got was own by a guy with twin daughters.
The guy was so happy when his twin was sentence two 20 years in prison. He wouldn't have that trouble.

Photos of Cvjetanovic protesting circulated on social media, denouncing Cvjetanovic as a racist.
I did not expect the photo to be shared as much as it was. I understand the photo has a very negative connotation. But I hope that the people sharing the photo are willing to listen that Im not the angry racist they see in that photo.
However Cvjetanovic, a self-proclaimed white nationalist, defends his beliefs.
As a white nationalist, I care for all people. We all deserve a future for our children and for our culture. White nationalists arent all hateful; we just want to preserve what we have.
