| Armed Neo-Nazis Now Patrolling Sanford |
| 2012-04-08 |
| Thanks, sensational MSM. Sleep well. As noted by Orion in the comments and by Prof. Jacobson in his excellent Legal Insurrection yesterday, this is bogus. I strongly suspect the whole story was planted by some progressive type as part of the campaign to distract America from the real issues of the economy, world affairs and the direction of our country. Neo-Nazis are currently conducting heavily armed patrols in and around Sanford, Florida and are "prepared" for violence in the case of a race riot. The patrols are to protect "white citizens in the area who are concerned for their safety" in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting last month, says Commander Jeff Schoep of the National Socialist Movement. "We are not advocating any type of violence or attacks on anybody, but we are prepared for it," he says. "We are not the type of white people who are going to be walked all over." Because nothing diffuses racial tension like gun-toting racial separatists patrolling an already on-edge community. Schoep, whose neo-Nazi group is based in Detroit, tells Riptide the patrols are a response to white residents' fears of a race riot. A group called the New Black Panther Party recently offered $10,000 for a citizens' arrest of George Zimmerman, Martin's shooter. Schoep said the bounty is a sign that "the possibility of further racial violence... is brimming over like a powder keg ready to explode into the streets." The patrols are comprised of between 10 and 20 locals and "volunteers" from across the state, including some from Miami, he added. He couldn't go into specifics on what kind of firepower, exactly, the patrols had with them. "In Arizona the guys can walk around with assault weapons and that's totally legal," Schoep said, referring to the group's patrols of the US-Mexico border. "What I can tell you is that any patrols that we are doing now in Florida are totally within the law." Asked if the patrols wouldn't just make things worse -- spark a race riot, for instance -- Schoep insisted they were simply a "show of solidarity with the white community down there" and "wouldn't intimidate anybody." "Whenever there is one of these racially charged events, Al Sharpton goes wherever blacks need him," Schoep said. "We do similar things. We are a white civil rights organization." He went to great lengths to contrast his organization with the New Black Panther Party, who he blamed for scaring local whites and spurring the need for NSM patrols. Schoep admits that the NSM and the Black Panthers are actually alike in that they are both racial separatists. But he sees a double-standard in the government's treatment of the two groups. "The Black Panthers have been offering bounties and all that," he says. "But if we called for a bounty on someone's head, I guarantee we'd be locked up as quick as I could walk out of my house." Schoep was also quick to clarify that he isn't taking sides in Trayvon Martin's controversial shooting. "That's for the courts to decide," he says. Besides, Schoep says, Zimmerman's not even white. "I think there is some confusion going on," Schoep says. "A lot of people think that this guy who shot Trayvon was white... but he's half Hispanic or Cuban or something. He certainly doesn't look white to me." To some, sending in the storm troops seems like a sure way to incite -- not prevent -- a race riot. But Schoep says that's way off base. "We don't wish for things like that," he says. "But there have been race riots in Detroit and L.A... So we know those types of things happen." "You can either be prepared or you can be blindsided," he adds. "This way, if something were to touch off a race riot, we'd already be in the area." How reassuring. |

| #14 My favorite comment is from the Sanford Police: “We have no indication of any such patrols at this point in Sanford. The only large gathering was the children and their parents at the Easter egg hunt.” |

| #13 Ok, bogus. I got it, but perhaps someone could post the marching music anyway. Okay, filling yer Nazi marching-song needs right here. Soundtrack is from the movie "Battle of the Bulge." |

| #12 I can't help but thinking that Al Sharpton hasn't done blacks a damn bit of net good in the last fifty years. True enough, then again they haven't done themselves much good either. Collectively speaking, there are of course exceptions. |

| #11 Actually, what are you asking? I didn't see a question in there. |

| #10 It may be bogus, but I do have a question. People who define themselves as Neo-Nazis, or are defined as such by MSM? I'm asking because I'm a racist (Zionism = Racism). |

| #9 Neo-Nazis are currently conducting heavily armed patrols in and around Sanford, Florida and are "prepared" for violence in the case of a race riot. Ever notice that whenever a picture of some "fascist militia" group is posted, it invariably turns out to be a handful of goobers who'd probably have trouble getting jobs stocking shelves at the local Jiffy Mart? I grew up just outside of Dayton, OH in the 60's and early 70's. One of the fixtures of a Dayton-area summer was an annual Klan "rally" sponsored by a Lebanon, OH farmer named Parkie Scott. In those days, the area civil-rights orgs didn't bother with counter-demonstrations, and the local media didn't bother with sensationalistic coverage...all that was needed was a TV camera with a nice wide angle shot, showing all of seven or eight bedsheet-covered idiots in a fallow field, standing around their burning cross. |

| #8 I can't help but thinking that Al Sharpton hasn't done blacks a damn bit of net good in the last fifty years. I thought he was much older than that. |

| #7 Perhaps someone should send Jacobson's report to Drudge and get the bogus angle widely spread. |

| #4 Wow...and as it turns out both you and Al also happen to be Socialists. Go figure. Hey...can't y'all just get along? If they can't just get along, at least we can hope both sides are good shots. |

| #1 I believe Professor Jacobson called the Sanford PD and this appears to be totally bogus. They said IIRC that the largest gathering they had was of children and their mothers for an Easter-egg hunt. No neo-Nazis. Just the usual MSM fanning the flames. http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/04/sanford-fl-police-deny-any-indication-of-neo-nazis-patrolling/ Orion |
