Members of white supremacist and antisemitic hate groups marched outside Orlando, Florida, on Saturday screaming invectives, raising the Nazi salute, and yelling “Heil Hitler” and “white power.”
“We are everywhere!” neo-Nazis can be heard shouting in a video shared by former Florida House of Representatives member Anna V. Eskamani. Later in the footage, they yelled, “Heil Hitler” while performing a Nazi salute.
I wonder what could be done from a open source intelligence point about them?
A lot really. This is pretty much what Sedition Hunters did for Jan 6 suspects, but it’s also what your local antifascist groups do behind the scenes for your local communities to keep them safer.
Probably a ton. If they are showing their ass in public, their online profiles are probably much worse.
I would be down for a good ole public shaming website if a person’s hate rhetoric is verified as true. Unfortunately, some of these people probably make a living by being a public idiot.
If the people supposedly in charge of preventing these kinds of threats were actually looking to stop white supremacists, these people wouldn’t have gotten to the point they did.
I guarantee if they were BLM or generally leftist group they would have been arrested and beaten if not killed (if they even got to the point of protesting in public, and not stopped based on online activity, which these nazis absolutely will all have), not let to spew hate speech and get home in time for dinner.
Never forget - some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses. And even those that don’t actively, serve the state, that doesn’t actually mind white supremacists because they serve it, and the capitalism it works for, well.
