Confronting neo-Nazi hate: 'When I look at you guys, I do not think master race'
A Scripps News reporter confronts an out-of-state neo-Nazi group who were demonstrating in Nashville, Tenn. They were said to have created havoc on the streets with symbols of hate and vile words.
Article details how reporter -- pre-armed with relevant facts and cameras -- confronts neoNazis in Tennessee. | Excerpts:
Members of the Goyim Defense League harassed people in the heart of Nashville's entertainment district, berating a lesbian mom who had just left a restaurant.
Later, the neo-Nazis assaulted a bartender who had confronted the group.
"I'm curious: Why Nashville? Why did you guys choose Nashville?" I asked Minadeo.
A fellow GDL member, Nicholas Bysheim, quickly answered.
"It's the only place that respects freedom of speech," Bysheim said.
Minadeo added, "Yeah, this city respects freedom of speech, but communist Jews like yourself don't."
A Californian who moved to Florida, Minadeo leads the hate group as it goes around the country trying to create scenes that they hope will bring them attention and followers.
One of their favorite tropes: Falsely accusing Jews of being pedophiles.
Over and over, it became clear that these are people who are blind to any facts that don't support their hate.
These are really pathetic human beings.
They are the only ones who seem not to know it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Damn, it takes guts and patience to confront and be honest with nazis.
And cameras. Don't forget to record what they are doing. I feel like this sort of interaction could go really wrong if there isn't a video record.
