Lincoln Heights Does Not F*ck Around
Lincoln Heights residents burn their captured Nazi flag

Last Friday Hate Club decided to do a banner drop in a historic Black suburb of Cincinnati. Residents were not having it. A team of 30 or so locals got wind of it, showed up en masse, took their flag, and lit it on fire.

(I won't be linking to the rest of this to protect the identities of the original posters).

THEN someone posted a video of the U-Haul they had driven there in, followed them back to another rental car, which had a window smashed and a tire slashed. Locals connected with researchers online who had already identified a number of members. Several people signed up for their telegram vetting bot and posted screenshots of Black hands giving the finger when asked for their "skin check." By evening, an after party was announced, and other bars followed suit inviting the protesters to their events.

The following day, people returned to post positive messages on the overpass where it all went down.

This is one of the best instances of community coming together to defend and then celebrate itself that I've seen in so long. It was the feel good story of the week, and that was after finding out that Blood Tribe was getting sued.

Lincoln Heights, we salute you.

In the last week:
