Its ok, they're going to put a picture of him on social media. This will save your life! |

I take my kid and get out of there. There are some things people do because they're young and foolish and want to piss off their parents. A swastika isn't one of those things. This person is damaged. He may have his rights, but wisdom says you stay away from potentially destabilizing situations. Maybe he's "cool" but someone else sees them and goes after him.
NYC subway rules baby - be alert, seemingly ignore it, and move to another car. |
I seriously doubt you have the guts to do so in person. How about starting with the skinhead the OP mentioned? I suggest you notify your next of kin before you engage them with that asinine move. |
A woman recently did this to a public neo-nazi at an Alexandria gym. He lost his membership, she retained hers (with support). I think you overestimate the complacency of a lot of people. |
Please enlighten us - wtf are you talking about? Coherent sentences this time, please. |
I believe he denied his identity when she confronted him too, like a coward. |
Yup. Racists like to talk a big talk, show a big show with their tattoos and Confederate flag stickers. But when you call them out, they're complete cowards. |
+ 1000! |

What are you failing to understand? |

OP here. You've all perfectly illustrated why I feel so conflicted over this. Of course I wouldn't want to provoke this stranger and endanger my family, but it felt so wrong to say nothing.
And yes, to the dissenters on this thread, I see the irony of my intolerance toward this person. |
My response was to this...." I think hateful people need to be shamed for their hate. They need to be called out for it, all the time, everywhere they go, by all the types of people." Your example was a lot less confrontational, in fact wasn't directly confrontational, than the person I responded to was suggesting. And as for me, leave them alone. If you are raising your children correctly they will know what this person represents and it will not influence them. And there are so many examples one can give of less than stellar individuals including those who use explicit profanity in public. |
Dude that was Richard Spencer. An alt right twitter troll is not the same thing as a for real Neo Nazi skinhead. |
Yeah, this seems like an obvious point. |
