Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Cops are cowards. They hide in their patrol cars when there's a single school shooter, of course they wouldn't fuck with armed protesters.
Not really the point of the article, but this stuck out to me (emphasis mine):
“Every state in this great nation was calling us, calling us horrible things," said Howell City Manager Erv Suida. "Staff (members) cried. They couldn't take it anymore. That's how bad it was."
Goddamn do the American exceptionalism brainworms run deep for someone to say this in the context of being harassed ~~by Nazis~~.
edit: whoops, it's been pointed out that they were being called by people outraged at the Nazi demonstration, not Nazis. Still doesn't make the "great nation" thing less weird, though.
It's totally deserved, Howell (the city) management denies any issues with Nazi's or the KKK despite this being a recurring issue for decades. Cishet white libs seriously see this as if it is a middle school bully. A reddit commenter said something along the lines of "Don't pay any attention to them and they'll go away" Are you fucking kidding me? These are people with actual murders and assaults on their rap sheet.
