    I've never heard of this group so I looked it up. Wiki defines them as "white supremacists" and a "hate group." They seem to have some views that I don't agree with (which isn't a crime by the way). I don't know what the terms "white supremacist" and "hate group" even mean anymore. It seems anyone who is white and doesn't adhere to the BLM narrative is a "white supremacist." The folks lined up at Justice Kavanaugh's home seem pretty hateful, so are they a "hate group"? Bottom line, it appears that all these people do is have a few rallies to broadcast their opinions and put up fliers and dress alike, none of which are crimes as far as I know. They don't seem to have been accused of any violence. Like I said, I don't agree with them, they sound like dummies to me. But I find it troubling that people are arrested simply for their opinions. A slippery slope.

    Except they did not break the law. It is not just a simple matter of them breaking the law. The authorities are just claiming that what they did constitutes evidence of breaking the law, even though that is a very stretched and highly questionable interpretation.

    The authorities have arrested them for conspiring to commit crimes, which is itself illegal. Conspiracy to commit ANY crime is a crime itself and there is nothing stretched or questionable about it.

    Nothing new about it. Those scum are just nazi retreads who never learned from history.
    We’ve seen their ilk many times before, and have had to slap them down many times before.

    Bullshit. They showed up with riot gear, smoke grenades and shields.
    It don’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what those bozos were up to.

    I’ve already asked for a source for what you claim with zero response. If what you say it’s true, then good on them for getting them out. Pictures, video, etc… Do you have a source?

    Were cities on fire and people getting attacked while wearing MAGA gear?

    What does that have to do with what I posted? Plenty of cops were attacked on Jan 6.

    As opposed to the dozens killed and seriously injured during your little leftist riots.

    Plenty of cops got attacked during Trump's inauguration too. During the SCOTUS appointments. You probably forgot about those.

    Why would I be afraid of them when an untrained 17 year old dropped 3 of them pretty easily?

    When you little antifa ***** want to stop burning down your own homes and come to where people like me live, you'll see who's afraid.

    They're brave enough to try to stop a murderous whack-job armed with a rifle even if all they've got is a skateboard and their bare hands.

    Are you?

    Sounds like a very nebulous definition of "conspire". I see no evidence that would justify criminal charges in that article.

    You are not arguing that showing up to a protest event prepared to protect yourself from attacks from others is a crime, do you?

    The poster said these types of groups never start any violence. So I brought up jan 6.

    Your example is neither here nor there.

    You don't think 31 people crammed into a UHAUL truck is suspicious and grounds for detainment and arrest? If they were Mexicans, you think they should have been let go?

    They didn't instigate the violence. Most of those that did were not arrested.

    Guy that "planted the bombs"? Not arrested. Guy that was there saying they should "Go in"? Not arrested. Guy that led the way into the capitol? Not arrested. Guy that opened the doors and let them in? Not arrested.
