Yep, and I also wish him well, and hope everything is ok.
I think he was Metro.
I remember the hilarious stuff he used to write here and many times his posts were tempered with a lot of common sense.
One of the funniest though he was actually being serious, he was looking for running shoes and he needed some crazy size like 16 EE or something. You kind of sometimes get a mental picture of the people who write here, but I had no idea that Dude had "Side Show Bob" feet.
I am not super up to date on the issue, but I have heard that some people are wearing Nazi armbands with their masks as a form of protests against the corona/mask ridiculousness.
So as usual, this is probably nowhere as simple as it seems.
AND further... even if she did have it on for shits and giggles or whatever... who cares?
What gives the mob the right to decide what people can say or do?
The lunatics are literally marching in packs, hammer/sickles on full display openly advocating for communism and assaulting people on the daily in the name of their 'cause'... and there's a problem with ONE random person wearing something that gets people's panties twisted? Yet people don't feel the same angst when they see a commie flag.
If anyone finds themselves in that sort of mindset, they're probably part of the problem.
"If we do not believe in freedom of speech for those we most despise, we do not believe in freedom of speech at all"
Noam Chomsky
Yea, that Noam Chomsky, absolute Paragon of LEFTIST thought- prior to the age of the Red Guards anyway..........seems as though the Left has forgotten their core values. It's free speech to burn draft cards, it's free speech to burn a flag, Piss Jesus is free speech, it's free speech to beat people in the streets, it's free speech to tear down statues, it's free speech to burn a police department to the ground.
So HELL YES, Nazi Armbands are FREE SPEECH. This isn't about Nazis, it's about a concept of American Liberty that the Left is increasingly intolerant and hypocritical about. I support "Hate Speech" in all it's forms.
It is reprehensible, not illegal, to display Nazi memorabilia, Nazi symbols, Etc. The fact that the symbols have a certain effect on people does not justify assaulting someone for displaying them. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of speech we like.
It is far more appropriate for everyone she knows, family, friends, community, etc. to shun her for such abhorrent behavior, not assault her.

Anybody assaulting or justifying others’ assaulting somebody for their displaying of a swastika (which pre-dates the National Socialist Party in Germany) as a means to protest these draconian mask mandates, or for any other reason, is a straight up fascist and doesn’t understand or subscribe to freedom. PERIOD.

I have been in building in New Orleans built in the early 20th century and seen floor tile with a swastika pattern.
