These families never imagined their loved ones would be drawn to Neo-Nazi groups. Now they’re fighting to get them back and begging the government to help.

    It’s self-defense, and it’s community defense.

    grouping

    I didn’t look the first time I read this, but wow that’s bad. I shot better with an automatic SMG the first time I held a gun in my life.

      It’s centrefire so probably at least 180 meters out, but the lack of consistency is hilarious considering it’s almost certainly supported with a front rest and using telescopic sites

      Nobody is good at something without practice, but they’re displaying that because they think it makes them look like tacticool threatening shooters. Which would be cringey even if the precision was actually impressive.

      It’s aggravating they’re such a danger because they’re all such pathetic losers. They want to be completely odious people and they’re not even good at it. It’s almost offensively pathetic.

        Exactly. When communities have organised in response, the NSN get chased up the road even when they bring out knives (see: failed attack on Gummo Cafe). But when a community does nothing, they’re left with a group of a couple of dozen interstate tourists trying to seek attention and intimidate people, often with a police line protecting them. Any group of a dozen, no matter how pathetic, will make unorganised individuals less likely to do anything, and the problem only grows if they gain greater numbers to mobilise.

        One of them is on record at a UK fascist conference saying that when they’re outnumbered and getting told to leave, they “feel like shit, it’s horrifying”.
