If you see someone shoplift diapers, no you didn’t.

If you see someone shoplift formula, no you didn’t.

If you see someone punch a nazi, no you didn’t.

If you see someone gun down a health insurance CEO, no you didn’t.

I just saw a person fall to the floor, nothing else

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

He tripped while assaulting that antifa guy, looked like to me.

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Laces untied? Awful accident. You would think a functioning adult could tie their shoelaces.

If the police question you just shut the fuck up.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone is online in these friendly spaces saying this but far too quick be pulling out their phones and posting incriminating evidence to their socials for clout.

Nice of him to wear that convenient throwing handle.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 62 points 1 week ago

Twas a good yeet.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 79 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fuck yeah, the proper way to great a fascist.

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I dunno, I didn't see his brains splattered on the pavement.

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nazis don't have brains, that's why

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago

Gotta aim for the neck

Have an upvote, as your confident incorrectness gave me a huge laugh.

Does anyone have an ICE mask for these heroes? Apparently that's a get out of jail free card.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 51 points 1 week ago

Trolls trying to get a reaction deserve to get a reaction. It's not a freedom a speech issue, it's a meeting on equal moral footing issue.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

this should be the new national sport. nazis, white supremeacists, promise keepers and ICE.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm almost too afraid to ask: What is a promise keeper?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I imagine they meant "oath keepers".

But promise keepers is/was an evangelical men's "revival" series that occurred in stadiums across the US.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 12 points 1 week ago

That sounds pretty awful too. I'm gonna put my head back in the sand now.

The best way to deal with Nazi shitheads like him is discourse (holds up right fist) and datcourse (holds up left fist). I approve.

[–] ToastedCoconuts@piefed.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My favorite part is that he didn't let go of his ~~precious~~ fucked up sign, so he couldn't even attempt to defend himself

[–] Ava@piefed.blahaj.zone 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I mean, I have to imagine baiting people into attacking him is pretty much part of the whole charade, no?

Sure, but most people would at least try to put their arms up over their face and head. He just left so much room for jabs to his midsection because the arms were spaced out by the sign

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

It is, but they think anyone cares about their crybaby squeals. No one does.

[–] AnalogAllamma@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jake Lang, sponsored by Israel.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Somehow whenever theres evil shit in the world, Israeli fascism is in the shadows behind it, pulling its strings.

[–] OrganicMustard@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

That's an incredible throw. 10/10

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Damn sucks that no one caught that on video, guess the police will leave this as a cold case

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

The cops dont do their jobs anyway. Every case is a cold case.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

If you see a fascist, punch a fascist.

I enjoyed watching this.

[–] AccoSpoot1@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Lol get rotated loser.

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Great!!! Punch the Nazis!!

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That dude with the long hair is disappointing. Dudes with long hair are supposed to be anti-fascist. The dudes-with-long-hair council doesn't approve.

Also, that twerp in the business suit looks like such a poser. Almost as big a poser as Jake Lang himself.

I can't believe he's still wearing that flak jacket without the sappies. It's like his prized possession or something. Does he realize the empty canvas won't protect him from jack shit?

You'd think after embarrassing himself so many times he'd give up the ruse, but he's still grifting. That russian mob money must be sweet.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But it sure is a nice place for someone to grab hold of and yeet the wearer.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Those are the yeeting handles, for when you need to heroically yeet your battle buddy out of the line of fire. Many an award write-up has mentioned "conspicuous courage while yeeting"

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 15 points 1 week ago

Based as fuck. Beat the shit out of fascists.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That’s exactly what they wanted. Ragebait and to be attacked by (libs, minorities, whatever). That’s the only thing they have.

Let them have it. Give it to them.

I love how the TEMU vest flies off.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I would be so sad if his brains were spread across the road
