Article details how reporter -- pre-armed with relevant facts and cameras -- confronts neoNazis in Tennessee. | Excerpts:
Members of the Goyim Defense League harassed people in the heart of Nashville's entertainment district, berating a lesbian mom who had just left a restaurant.
Later, the neo-Nazis assaulted a bartender who had confronted the group.
"I'm curious: Why Nashville? Why did you guys choose Nashville?" I asked Minadeo.
A fellow GDL member, Nicholas Bysheim, quickly answered.
"It's the only place that respects freedom of speech," Bysheim said.
Minadeo added, "Yeah, this city respects freedom of speech, but communist Jews like yourself don't."
A Californian who moved to Florida, Minadeo leads the hate group as it goes around the country trying to create scenes that they hope will bring them attention and followers.
One of their favorite tropes: Falsely accusing Jews of being pedophiles.
Over and over, it became clear that these are people who are blind to any facts that don't support their hate.
These are really pathetic human beings.
They are the only ones who seem not to know it.
I'd rather know. Having spent a large portion of my education in the US southeast, I've been embarrassed in public by people I considered friends until they said something unacceptable. Whether it's "being rude to the help" at a restaurant, getting drunk and harassing someone over race, whatever, I've not hesitated throughout my life to tell prejudiced people to shut the fuck up and find a new ride home or a new set of friends.
It's surprisingly easy to remove yourself from someone you know is denying you a ton of social opportunity. If someone is automatically threatening in your mind because of their race or gender alone, you're weak, you're immature, and you drag down everyone who takes time to validate your bullshit insecurities by talking about it, much less participating in it.

I would agree, I want to know so that its not some 4chan in real life thing. Start punching people that allegedly nazis and they will group together stronger and gain sympathy.
