Yeah, they went out same day on Twitter. I don't agree with their politics, but this seems like suppression of free speech. We could use something like the ACLU used to be before they got shitty.

It seems like the police prevented these people from attending the LGBTQ pride pride event....due to their looks and manor of dress alone. A bit of BDSM gear and celebratory legal fireworks, was supposively found after their Constitutional rights were trampled.

Good thing the article had a pre-cog, Jon Lewis, from George Washington University guess what flavor ice-cream each of them surely like, to go along with the gestapo pre-crime charges.

I mean really, just flat out declaring people to surely have these horrible and hateful beliefs, based on one guy one the other side of the country, is growing rapidly. The guilt by association...with someone you don't really associate with. We know Boy Scout leaders and Priests have molested children, but we don't see George Washington University, unequivocally, blanked-declaring all Boy Scouts members and all churches kindly fiddlers. There is a serious problem with this form of fascism.

Worse, is when the police charge people for what the fascists tell them they surely would be motivated to possibly do. The legal system becomes a fascism system very quickly that way.

When they abused the law and violated the Constitution to get <someone purportedly bad> I said nothing....

... then when they did it to me, there was no one left to speak up.

Patriot Front is an actual self-styled fascist group. Fascism isn't a bad word, and what the government is doing is certainly not fascism.

Yes, the police violating people's Constitutional rights based on perceived belief, is exactly fascism.

Only other people have designated that group with that blanket ideology. They only claim to be nationalists...not even white nationalists. They are a nationwide group spread out across 25 states per wiki, blanket labeling them based on what one guy posted on line, is a terrible and shameful thing, that these shifty organizations who get paid to designate everyone as white power and racist do so regularly, based on little more (The fascism enabling designators of group motivations such as SPLC, antidefination league, etc).

Supporting strict enforcement of our existing border laws is not racist, as even Candidate Obama was a strong advocate (before election). The shameful, but common, spin of enforcing border laws as racist, is in itself a dirty racist trick, imo.

true. nationalist doesn't equate white supremacist. they are definitely being misrepresented. and preference doesn't equate bias. crazy times.
