News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

they are probably armed
Yup.
What's your point?
They will shoot you.
No they won't. It's posturing. Be careful around them, but if they shoot you for throwing paint then there's going to be a big crackdown on them. They don't want that. The guns are part of the show (and potentially to defend against other armed attacks).
They're armed because they're looking to provoke a situation where they can commit murder and call it self defense.
It's called the Shittenhouse Defense
In a normal legal system that would be provocation of self-defense state, which would cause the act of defending to be limited to actual defense but would require extensive acts of mitigating the threat in non-violent ways.
Yes, but these are nazis, so it's not like the sympathetic legal system is going to do anything. Also, these are nazis, so they're not very bright.
That is not true of everyone walking around carrying, but it is definitely true of these fuckwits.
They're marching in the hopes that someone will attack them in a fashion they cannot reasonably flee from? Or does Ohio have stand your ground and we could knock the part about fleeing off?
Ohio doesn't require fleeing. All they have to say is that they thought someone was in danger to use lethal force. They could still be charged and it'd be up to ba jury. I don't think they'd do very well with a jury though. But somebody is still dead.
They are marching in the hopes that someone will do anything even slightly untoward that they can interpret as a threat and open fire. They're confident that they will get a piece of shit judge like Rittenhouse got.
Do you suppose that they are legal scholars?
They’ll get cracked down on, maybe, but you’ll still be fucking shot
man you have not been following events
I'm not saying they will shoot you, just simply pointing out what the point is that op asked about.
have you done this sort of thing before?
I did antifa work in Palestine. Israeli facists dont wear masks, generally. Tactics vary.
