    Im not proficient in the laws of these things but from what I read, the local government has the ability to ban groups who they deem are dangerous to the citizens from having gatherings like this. Which again this is just what I read, means they could literally just start arresting them for gathering. Maybe thats incorrect, not sure. It seems to me though if every single time they “protest” it ends in damage to people or things, thats out of bounds and against the law.

    well, we won't have to worry about it as trumpty dumpty is going to have the antifa group listed as a domestic terrorist group but no word on the right wingers being labeled as such. I guess there are good guys on that side and they support the idiot in the White House. So much for trump denouncing white nationalists. Doesn't want to upset his small base.All of these groups need to be sanctioned.

    I posted this earlier, it looked like the ok sign to me, but people were upset about it so I did some googling of it, and apparently some racists groups have taken it for their purposes. I dont know but I will do more research and address it at work, since, we use that for saying our systems are up and running (the environment can get loud at times).

    If you think all these guys are just say “ok” to the camera you are either ignorant or dumb or both

    It was literally a troll meme from 4chan. Liberals bought it hook line and sinker and now people use it to troll them.

    Even a troll sign becomes real if it is used enough. That is how symbols get meaning.

    So first it was the upside down okay sign that kids used as a caught you looking game. That was supposed to be the white supremacy sign. And now it's just the straight up okay sign?

    Question: when was the last time you walked around holding up the OK sign? Better yet. When have you and a group of friends EVER walked around holding up an OK sign or any other sign? I mean, if someone is racist why not own it?

    Not directed at you. But once someone does know what they’re doing, to deny it or make up some lame excuse is ridiculous

    I 100% agree. I've just been offering a counterpoint. That, and I think they are much much more than just window smashing anarchists. And I'll gladly go so far to say if Antifa organized and stuck to the script, people would see them differently. The problem is that they aren't or don't and the result is chaos.

    It looks like an OK sign to me. I have used it for about 50 years and so do others. Why should we quit, just because these guys do it?

    I'm not sure what Prince Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin has to do with anything, but me saying morally bankrupt is an understatement. It's boring to talk about, but there are few things more depressing than to hear (or read) unimpaired grownups unironically professing their support for a doddering, lecherous reprobate with the vocabulary of a toddler.

    A few reasons, why offend people just cause, “thats what Ive always done”. Lawsuits, its easier as a business to try to change what were doing than accidently offend someone, or make them feel discriminated against.

    Im not super politically correct, Ive told jokes laughed at jokes that probably on second thought not the best, but I dont want to troll people or make them mad. I try to be at peace with people.

    It's not a ridiculous excuse. It's actual fact. It was created to troll people like you. Documented. Proven.

    Just admit it. To yourself and others. At least Proud Boy pussies admit it.

    So have they claimed the American flag as well? They fly it at every one of their rallies. Is the American flag a symbol of hatred and white power?
