If I owned a venue, I would "book" these things as often as possible and then cancel as late as contractually possible without penalties.
- Burry it in the contract clauses stipulating that the event can’t be used to spread hate. Then cancel as they’re spreading hate.
  
  “Sorry, didn’t know who you were, or I would have said something sooner. It was brought to my attention yesterday and today we found you’re a hate group.”
  
  And then hope your security is up to snuff.
  
  That's pretty risky.. As someone who works in many venues (touring live production), I wouldn't want to throw venue security into the line of fire like that. No venue security crew is equipped to deal with mobs with molotovs...
The white nationalists have been turning on the guy in the right in that photo, Jake Shields, because they found out he has mixed ethnicity and decided he isn’t white enough for them. Their movement is such a mess.
- it would be funny to force white nationalists to release their 23 and me info.
- I hate Rousimar Palhares, but I love that he did this to Jake Shields. Kimura
- White nationalists consider Nick Fuentes white enough?
  
  I’m sure they’ve all got plans to purge their own ranks when they’ve secured power.
  
  Racists gonna racist.
- To add to this, the dude spent a lifetime getting punched in the head.
Speaking about the former president Donald Trump’s appearance earlier that day at the Turning Point conference, Fuentes told his AFPAC crowd, “Donald Trump, nine years ago, said, ‘I am your voice.’ I don’t know about you guys, but when he goes up there and says ‘We’re gonna throw out all the anti-Israel protesters,’ that’s not my voice.”

As the hands raised, Fuentes alternated between an oath and “Sieg heil” salute. The would-be voice for a furious generation then shouted for attendees to repeat after him, “I solemnly swear to put America first and Israel last — every time! — because Christ is our king. Amen!”

The Nazis hurt themselves in their confusion.
Great headline
Oh golly, I sure wish we had a word to refer to antisemitic anti-LGTBQ+ people...
- Chuds
Oh noooooo
Good for the venue.
- And anyone near it
