Anybody have a list on where the alt-right plans to "meet" next?

I read on another thread that they're planning a Bay Area rally soon. I went through heart surgery back in March and have been recovering ever since (by the way, thanks Obama for Obamacare. It saved my life and I really mean that. Thank you. And fuck you Trump for trying to take it away from me). But I'm well enough now to where I'm ready to get back into the fold, and if these terrorists want to come here, I'm ready to meet them head on.

I'm not looking for violence or to start violence. I plan to PROTEST peacefully. But if these cretins try anything like what they did in Virginia, I'm also ready to defend myself and my community with everything I have. And I just happen to be a 6'4" inch tall former boxer who's engaged to a Latina woman of color and has a strong dislike of white supremacists. And I will not allow them to come here unopposed.

That sounds like bait for our side who may not know what its about. I cant help thinking this is orchestrated by bannon, and his last ditch effort at creating civil war.

But I just turned on the news, and see theres another protest in seattle right now.

Glad to hear you are well after heart surgery Downtown Hound.

If they came through my town or surroundings, I'd drag 5'1 little ole me out there to defend my community too. They cant carry their guns here either.

Moments like this are when I thank God I live in this state, and we don't allow terrorists to walk around our street heavily armed.

Same thing here in NY. Grateful to be here post trump. Though we still have our pockets of bigotry.

and told to go fuck themselves?

I've been saying we should just ignore them for the past couple of months. Evidently it is human nature to protest against these vile reprobates. I just don't think we can get people to stay away. It's either let them march and have more killings, or deny them. Personally, I would love for them to end up in court trying to prove it is their first amendment right to march. After yesterday, I don't think any judge could side with them. We need to set a precedent that will impede their efforts to achieve higher visibility.

He's sneaky, slimy, smarmy no good.

I'd rather just turn the Nazis into dragon food.

are likely working on a plan in light of the events at C'ville. They're savvy enough to know how to effectively deal with whatever goes down in their neck of the woods.
