Samvega OP , in Haitian immigrants helped revive a struggling Ohio town. Then neo-Nazis turned up

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism

Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.[1] A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.[2]

This isn’t stochastic terrorism. This is just terrorism. They are trying to terrorize the Haitians into leaving Springfield:

In December, a Springfield man was sentenced to 20 years in federal jail for hate crimes after attacking eight Haitians earlier in 2023. Last year, the local Haitian church was broken into and damaged twice. Longtime Black residents of Springfield have reported being verbally abused when walking on the city’s streets, having been confused with members of the Haitian community.

Samvega OP ,

The stochastic terrorism is the wild claims infrahumanising certain groups on social media. Then someone decides to act on those claims, and the people who posted them say “I had no idea that would happen”.

Rinse and repeat until you’ve made the world worse, then die with lots of money.

Right, but we’re at the acting stage now. It’s now just straight up terrorism.

Wow, way to highlight that you are a completely ignorant douchebag

“Charitably”, I assume because they’re massive racists that they’re referring to the West and Central African origins of Haitians as an ethnic group and not confusing where Haiti is, but Nazis still deserve to be jailed over their disgusting ideology regardless of if they know what continent Haiti is on.

MyOpinion , (edited ) in Haitian immigrants helped revive a struggling Ohio town. Then neo-Nazis turned up

You know what Nazis bring to your town? Garbage. I don’t know why this is difficult. The Nazi symbol should be banned from all public use and Nazis should be arrested and held as enemies of the state.

enemies of the state

Arresting enemies of the state?

Well, the Nazis would certainly agree with that.

SirDerpy ,

I don’t know why this is difficult.

Those pesky 1st and 4th amendments to the US Constitution. They apply to everyone, not just those you agree with.

DogPeePoo , in Haitian immigrants helped revive a struggling Ohio town. Then neo-Nazis turned up

Immigrants are the backbone and lifeblood of America.

Nazis are the opposite and offer nothing but bile and self-loathing.

Just a quick safety PSA, bibles are only good for protecting against Judeo-Christian demons. I always recommend keeping an oonusa for yokai, a copy of Bhagavata Purana for preths, etc

My dad, who was only vaguely theistic but had a very good knowledge of the old (and new) testament used to go to Torah study and argue with the Rabbi whenever a point of contention came up.

It resulted in good entertainment for my mother.

@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world avatar

The judge sentenced him to 33 1/3 years. In Minnesota, defendants typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison and the rest on supervised release.

Castillo had eight prior felony convictions, including second-degree assault for beating another woman with a hammer in 2014. At the time of the knife attack, Castillo was on intensive supervised release and had a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to show up at a court hearing on charges that he assaulted two correctional officers at the Stillwater state prison in 2020.

Fingers crossed this worthless piece of shit dies in prison, but it doesn’t seem likely if he’ll only serve about 22 years. I’m usually pretty heavy on rehabilitation, but this one seems too far-gone. Hopefully they can at least get him a ton of psychiatric help and counseling before he’s released on the slim chance he can change.

Ignoring the annoying way in which liberal has been re-christened into anything vaguely left-wing in U.S. parlance, this seems hardly surprising since the conservative side seems both anti-young, and anti-woman.

Not a very constructive way to resolve theological disputes.

darkmarx ,

Historically, this is exactly how theological disputes were handled. See Crusades on Wikipedia for more information.

Diplomjodler3 ,

I know. It wasn’t constructive then either.
