Honestly that's what makes the alt right so dangerous, they have no grand plan other than white supremacy and because of that the individual foot soldiers have no concept of consequences for their actions until they get publically called out. Hell, five years ago we had an issue with the pagans making a foot hold in the area until one drunk moron stumbled into a local police precinct lot and keyed a bunch of cop cars which resulted in anyone wearing pagan colors getting pulled over and searched in a 100 mile radius. A scenario like that would result in the loving hand of God being bought down on them. Yeah actual gangs tend to get the hammer bought down on them if they do anything that harms a civilian which is why I worry about stroking out everytime Trump talks about MS-13 controlling entire towns. and "prison gang" is a misnomer since most felony sentences are only a few years. My impression is the white-power prison/drug gangs (and this may be especially true in texas and california) get the lion's share of attention because the crimes get really serious: armed robbery, kidnapping, murder and major drug crimes. we don't have any problems with minorities either" but then the mixed-race couple has people driving by going "pew pew" at them with finger guns. you got guys walking around wearing hitler t-shirts and these sympathizers in the town who have this attitude of "oh, it's free speech and they have a right to it. Ulysses is way out in the middle of nowhere in northern pennsylvania. like, they freak the hell out of people doing that but it's just leafleting.Īctually screwing with civilians in terms of hate crimes or ethnic intimidation tends to end really badly for them (this case seemed to be some racist lady who went crazy):ĭepends on the community, though. there has been a noticeable decline in flyers targeting college campuses this year and my impression that might be because of campus police stepping up patrols, but if they catch one they'll probably just give them a warning and tell them not to come back or they'll be cited for trespassing or something like that.
every time they do that, though, i would reckon those activities are being collected into databases held not only by feds but also watchdog groups like the ADL and SPLC. Like here we're mostly talking about internet edgelords and guys who throw flyers onto lawns, that while that could be a crime depending on the locality it's usually just a misdemeanor. they serve 2-3 and get out and are back out dealing drugs and chopping off fingers over drug debts. Last I heard he was completely out and his dad got him work as a paralegal and he was working to get his law degree and become a public defender to make up for his past. He wanted a swastika on his leg covered up and ended up with an absolutely beautiful koi fish tattoo. I have only run into a few nazis including one guy who I met at a tattoo shop. Where I work of is a bit weird in that gangs aren't really an issue outside of specific neighbor hoods and even then it's more just part of growing up in a neighbor hood and once you get out of high school the gang really isnt a part of your life.
