Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

An "unannounced demonstration" by Nazis ends when upstanding citizens push past police, steal a Nazi flag, and set it on fire. The Nazis leave, and the resisters are not arrested.

These people were just going about their day, and it was important to enough people to stop and get directly involved. They took on risks of bodily harm and arrest. I'm willing to bet that none of them were "prepared" for the confrontation.

The Nazis began to back off," Eley said. "They quickly jumped in the back of a U-Haul truck and took off."

Every time i see a u-haul now I'm gonna be thinking about how many Nazis it'll fit. This isn't even the first time I've heard of them using u-hauls for mass transit, lol

Its much more efficient to stack them on their side.

I prefer storing nazis in urns for transportation purposes.

Uhauls are made to have padlocks placed on the door... Just something to think about.

Uhauls are also fairly standardized, so one could put a padlock just big enough to fit but not big enough to cut off easily.

Sure would be a shame if someone were to weld/jam the door shut from the outside...

When they got ran out of Philly they scurried into a U-Haul. That video is fucking hysterical, they wanted to come in and be tough and they ran off like the gang of twats they are.

"The protest was occurring on sidewalks designed for pedestrian travel. The protest, while very offensive, was not unlawful," a press release from the Evendale Police Department said.

Pigs.

There's video of them loading into the uhaul, and the cops made sure to blur the faces of the nazis, but nobody else.
