It seems you can be a Nazi, but you cannot hide it from the consequences.
Last week a horrifying weekend happened when a large group of Nazi/white supremacists descended on Charlotteville, VA ostensibly to protest the removal of a statue commemorating a personage from the civil war era. Mostly the protest was about some angry white guys in polo shirts and khaki pants (their hero’s fave leisure wear) marching while shouting that they’re scared ‘cuz nobody luvz them or notices their special whiteness. The march turned into a brawl between those overly melanin challenged dudes and the people upholding the right to free speech and the inclusion of everyone regardless of skin tone. It seemed the polo-shirted ones came looking for a fight and came prepared with weapons and protective gear. One of them killed a young woman and injured many others….deliberately.
Amongst those specially white Nazis were at least two Canadians. They weren’t there by mistake. They were there because they hate people who are different from them. Because they wanted to be a part of the fight. They wanted to show their hate. They wanted to use it as a cudgel on those who opposed them.
And, thanks to HBO’s VICE and the reporter they embedded, video of the group were taken both at the meet-up before the actual rally and during both days of the rally. Those video shots were screen captured by an anti-fascist group, Anti-Pegida, who posted the screenshots on their Facebook page asking for the identities of the group of four men. Two have been identified so far: Vincent Belanger-Mercure and Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald.
These people are idiots who drive forward the globalist media narrative to silence anyone who is right of centre," Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald wrote on his Facebook page.

"I did it mostly 'For the lulz,' meaning I expected to be entertained and it was indeed the case," Vincent Belanger-Mercure told The Canadian Press in a Facebook message.
Belanger-Mercure said while he isn't a white supremacist, "I'm not ashamed of being white either," and added that attempts to make all cultures uniform "make the beauty of the world disappear."

The event has prompted provincial and federal politicians, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, to speak out against racism and hate.
In Quebec, International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre has warned that the province's international reputation could take a hit due to the increased visibility of homegrown far-right groups.
The right-wing group, The Meute (the Wolfpack), begun in 2015 to “stop invasive political Islam in Canada” and currently with some 50,000 members, has publicly denounced Beauvais-MacDonald and suspended his membership
La Meute "formally dissociates itself from white supremacist groups, racist groups and violent groups of all political orientations," Sylvain Brouillette told The Canadian Press in an email
Riiiiiight...okaaay. Just because you hate Islam and anyone associated with it, that doesn’t make you discriminatory, does it? Funny how those who hate define their hate as different from other’s hate. Or that their group is better than other hate groups because they aren’t violent.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has publicly opened Canada’s doors to refugees and presented a face of tolerance and inclusion in a world increasingly hostile to migration. But as Canadian immigration policy has transformed the nation over decades, pockets of intolerance have grown across the country.
Nowhere has it galvanized such large numbers as in Quebec, where many people still refer to themselves as pure laine, or pure wool, direct descendants of the 17th-century settlers of New France. The most emotional response has focused on conservative Muslim immigrants, who perhaps present the greatest contrast to traditional European-based culture and the secularism that Quebec struggled hard to win from the Roman Catholic Church.

So far all these two assholes have had to face is a bit of public humiliation, but I suspect that very soon, both will have a visit with some RCMP and find their passports revoked. Plus they will likely be put on a watch list. I think that will be the last time they’ll be visiting the US and causing trouble. But they will still have to face the wrath of the public...I’ll be posting this diary in my FB page and asking for shares. Anybody else is welcome to share this on Twitter or FB...please!
