(61,533 posts)You don't think that any Nazi groups are actually planning to come to Sanford?
There's a Nazi group a short distance from Sanford, so they're probably already there. Are you saying that they aren't planning to patrol neighborhoods? Their definition of "patrol" is probably similar to George Zimmerman's. They'll drive around with guns looking for somebody to shoot.
If a Nazi group has stated that they are planning to do armed patrols of Sanford, I think that's news. Their own website tends to verify the fact.
Are you saying that we should ignore statements made by hate groups? On the one hand, I see your point about not giving them attention and publicity, which is clearly what they crave. On the other hand, do we ignore them at our peril?
Nazis do show up and murder people right out in the open from time to time. It happened at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1979. That's a long time ago, and then again, not that long ago.
