I just want to say for the record that if anyone is on trial for brutally beating a KKK member and I’m on the jury I will never ever convict you. That is not a crime.
On the jury, being shown some video evidence…
“It doesn’t look like anything to me.”
I would never say something like that on record.
Unrelated fun fact: having that kind of record come up in voir dire would immediately get you kicked off the jury.
Unfortunately jury nullification also has a very racist history. Not to say it can’t be used for good now!
As long as it still exists, use it for good I guess.
We can’t change the system in a day, but we can use the tricks that racists use to nudge it in the proper direction.
And if they don’t like it, sure they can go ahead and remove those tricks. Only makes our system more fair and straightforward, which is a good thing.
This was Confirmed agent provocateur:
Parts of CT are KKK strongholds.
I have a friend who used to live there and he told me his town had some prominent klansmen there, and there were rallies a town or two away.
In the past they’ve been socially aware enough to keep it to themselves. Since Trump became a thing they’ve gotten bold.
I live in New England so I’m close-ish to where this happened… I’d like to throw something on them like wine to stain their ghost costumes but who knows if thats legal and i dont want to end up in jail since i have responsibilities to people other than just me.
Is tossing glitter on them not assault? I want something that sticks and makes it so they don’t want to wear that outfit anymore. Glitter that’s fine enough never comes out… because it’s micro plastics. I normally avoid glitter but feel this might be an exception. Any other ideas non-violent ideas to make them feel unwelcome??
A super soaker full of pink clothing dye. I doubt if these ‘manly man’ would like pink clothes.

I’ve got just the thing for you. Vegan milkshakes. Well, any milkshake will do, because the point of throwing a shake is to get them soaked in a liquid that will smell awful if it bakes in the sun. It might stain clothes, and it will certainly be uncomfortable. You should probably use a chocolate shake with the klansmen, it’ll stain their bedsheets real good.
The best part about it is the physical harm inflicted is minimal, while the social harm, humiliation, is pretty significant. This is important because humiliation is the achilles heel of fascists, since their world view is based on imagery, and this action disrupts it.
The other good thing this does is it can be used to make a potential agitator leave so they can clean up.
This, unfortunately, is assault (or some other illegal activity), so keep that in mind.
Leave it to a place called Mystic to have it’s own Grand Wizard.
The guy in the klan robe is a youtuber who trolls, mostly, Trump stuff. He is there, doing this, because the KKK literally endorsed Trump
Mystic is actually really nice these people are probably coming in from the sticks
+100 points each for hitting them, Deathrace 2000 style.
Remember that every single one of those creatures are going to vote.
Well, I count five of them. CT hasn’t been a swing state since Reagan. I wouldn’t be too worried about that changing this cycle.
But just like with other big blue states, like California and Illinois, you often see the perennial losers go full freak mode as a form of coping. Its the same way you see folks in Austin, TX or Miami, FL going full hippie-bumper-sticker on their cars and bikes. Folks sometimes think being louder is a substitute for being more popular.
Unless you shoot them first. Edit: please don’t shoot anyone. This is not a call for violence
