| | So the Nazis came on Saturday, all twenty of them, and were hopelessly outnumbered by hundreds of people either actively protesting them or just out to watch their demonstration like the freak show that it was. Seven people apparently tried to impede the parade of these boneheaded brownshirts and received nothing but peppermace from the cops for their pains. I'm not going to beat this topic into the ground, but I will make a final point. Of the seven people arrested, only two were local people. Others were protesters from out of town, like Kirksville or or St. Louis, and even people out of state, such as Indiana and Vermont. So, out of a whole crowd, town, state, and country who thinks that these neo-Nazis are douchebags, they could barely get seven people to react violently to their retarded message. They even broke out the big guns by ripping a Mexican flag in half *gasp*. Unfortunately for them, their audience failed to inform these Mein Kampf-thumping Minnesotans that they were, in fact, in Columbia, MO, and not anywhere in the vicinity of the Mexican border where this controversial act might have a teensy bit more relevance.
Sorry, I got distracted. Where was I? Ah yes, the arrests of the counter-protesters. Why bring them up? After all, it was only seven, right? That wasn't what bothered me so much; while I've already elaborated on why I find violent counter-protesting a waste of effort, I recognized that was inevitable that some nutjobs would actually take the nutjobs with swastikas seriously. No, what really pissed me off was the fact that most of the people arrested were out of town. I mean, come on. Is there a sign outside of Columbia saying "Welcome to Columbia, Public Protest Capital of the World" that no one told me about? What gives these people the right... no, wait, scratch that, we all know what gives them the right. What gives these people the gall to come use our town as a stage for their political messages? To all of these out-of-town political jackasses, I have this to say: Find some other goddamn town to go camping in.
And to the counter-protesters specifically, I have this to say to them: What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you have better things to do than come all the way here to town to take a bold stand against the sad, pathetic remnants of a long-discredited movement? I mean, these National Socialist are clearly retarded, so it makes sense they'd go out of state to rally for dubious causes in a town that doesn't care that much. But what's your excuse? Have you overlooked larger movements that pose a greater threat to our way of life, or are you just too cowardly to protest these real enemies and only have the stones to take a stand against a group of sad, pathetic bastards who can't become sexually aroused unless they imagine they're part of a threesome with Adolf and Eva? Or maybe you're just lazy, I don't know. The point is, if you want to really want impress me, protest someone who everyone doesn't already hate.
That's it, I'm done with it. No more Nazis. In fact, that last cheap shot at Hitler was my last for a while. I'm going to boycott random Nazi jokes for now. While they richly deserve it, surely there are more challenging people for me to insult.
