A Twitter Vigilante Is Outing Charlottesville Rally Racists

[Warren DeMontague]

24. What has been happening, what I've seen, is matching up these guys with known

alt-right twitter accounts or previously identifications at similar protests.

In that vein, it seems very unlikely that someone is going to just be picked at random and identified as one of these nazis just because they bear a resemblance to these bland-looking khaki motherfuckers.

I'm against vigilantism, too. But I'm also not in favor of letting these assholes slide. As I outlined in my other post, this goes beyond just your run of the mill political disagreement. Support Trump, oppose immigration, whatever... yeah, as a general practice I don't think running around trying to identify people in political rallies is a good idea or at all warranted.

But carrying a torch around a Nazi rally carries a very specific connotation, and if someone is willing to make that statement publicly they don't get to go and hide and pretend it didn't happen. They have a right to their speech, but they shouldn't be surprised when they have to own it.
