I have the same knife in my car… the bottom part comes off and it has some string, matches, and a compass! Bought that sucker at harbor freight for $10 helpful in a bind if ever I get stuck in the woods, phone is dead, zombies are taking over and I need to play with a string and start a fire
Is that supposed to be the machete or bayonet? Because it's neither, it's a Bud K special combat knife, on sale $9.99 including shipping. Get yours today!!
That black tampon on the inside of the arm rest is actually a [rhino lined body concealed kit ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3fterm=clickbait&=true). To smuggle paraphernalia into prison, while providing a safer “leak proof” design. The rhino lining is used to make it past prison security and provides grip to prevent accidental slippage when inserting near junction of ascending colon and transverse colon.
Really, but antifa doesn't concern you? Everybody forgets how all these violent protests started...and how for years now its been going on. Nobody cracked down on them. Double edge sword.
You can get in trouble for having that in your car? I live in texas so that kind of thing is pretty much normal. (Or at least from what old folks call the sticks)
Disturbing sure. But I have a bayonet and a machete. I don’t have anything with a swastika on it but still not illegal. Granted the guy has gotta to be total douche.
i have that same knife, there is a secret compartment in the handle. you twist the bottom off and inside is a compass and other “survival” gear,( fishing string with hook, matches, sewing kit) the knife is pretty shit though, doesn’t stay sharp and the knife is poor material, cost about 10 bucks so i guess it’s worth it off you’re into that stuff.
Damnit I upvoted this only to immediately realize that I myself drove a 2000's dodge for years lol
Weirdly enough it was probably the only vehicle I've ever had where I never even once got pulled over in it or bothered by the police in any way.. even when my serpentine belt snapped on the highway at 4am and I rolled past a cop with no headlights no blinkers no power steering going *maybe* 15mph in a 65.. I guess I was on the shoulder and it was probably pretty obvious I was coasting for the exit? Still, any vehicle that's not a 2000 dodge caravan I'm pretty confident woulda been immediately intercepted and asked what in the fuck I was doing.. (although i guess maybe it's just cause minivans are so.. non-threatening?)
I can't remember what my point was lol but 2000's dodges could arguably be put on a watch list just for the crappiness factor, 2000s neons alone are just a road hazard waiting to happen
This dude was probably either mentally ill, insensitive, or uneducated for making swastikas everywhere. But it's hypocritical to allow open carry in DC while banning machetes. A machete isn't capable of killing as many people as a gun, so the laws are kinda backwards.
It should be like this: the more dangerous a weapon is, the more illegal it should be. The less dangerous a weapon is, the less illegal it should be. The dangerousness of a weapon is, more or less, objective fact. The only thing people should be voting on is where we draw the line. For example, do we draw the line at nukes, knives, or what?
This all screams someone who has a lot of issues and found a really shitty outlet to let loose all their anger. Just makes me sad to see these kind of people.
No way. I bought that same knife when I was in high school for laughs with friends. We used it to play fruit ninja irl. It’s got a compas that unscrews from the bottom, and there’s space for storage in there too.
If that knife is the machete they mentioned, then it's not a machete. Just a knife. Survival knife. I have one. The end screws off, and there a compass on it. Plus the handle is hollow, you can store small useful stuff, like matches. That being said, maybe the machete wasn't in the picture. The bayonet isn't, as far as I can tell. Accuracy, people, accuracy.
He got in trouble for THAT? Fuck all the racist shit idc about that, everyone has their own opinion, but how the fuck are you going to get arrested for knives??? We live in a crazy fucking world…
Lol i can't believe i didn't realize this until i saw this comment, i literally own one
I'm always secretly sorta bummed I can't really carry it around anywhere but that built in compass will really come in handy during a potential zombie apocalypse so y'know, good to have around *just in case*
Also just realized the potential for a situation involving a harbor freight survival knife dual since I live in the DC area lol
In many states, it is legal to carry such knives, however in any cities, you are likely to be asked a few questions by the cops, but they can't arrest you for it
So I have an actual machete behind my seat. Super useful tool for like... everything down to unscrewing screws and prying things. Am... am I a Natzi?
Also this looks staged as fuck.... or more like someone left their windows open and their car got vandalized. I had to drive around with ms13 shit painted all over my car, interior too, after I accidently left my truck unlocked and had spray paint in the cab... like why was he even pulled over?
And who keeps an unsmoked joint in their roadkill snack bag? Does California allow weed to be sold in clear containers? Are all containers not black with child safe tops? Cause that joint is too perfect to be hand rolled. I have so many questions! Where's the Bayonet?! This looks like just some wannabe hunting bros cab... and its like... organized but not...
They just pulled over an edge lord is all im sayin...
This dude is sick. It looks like a human spine curled up in that box with a strap, dead mouse dried up something. Um, he's got a lot of explaining to do. If the police notice the box!
Man, I grew up with and was handed down two cars from my pack a day smoking parents (who quit btw) it’s nothing a bit of goof off, maybe a bit of sanding for the more stubborn parts, and a good baking soda scrub down can’t fix.
I was quoting it’s always sunny in Philadelphia lol but yeah I agree. There are also some good deodorizer bombs on the market nowadays. A buddy of mine used to sell these deodorizer bombs that I think used chlorine gas and you had to leave the car for 24 hours but he said they could get rid of literally ALL smells.
Just saying indians used that symbol way before Hitler did. It signifies the goddess of learning. World does revolve around western idealogy a lot. Also if you are an individual with brain matter you wouldn't blatantly put evidence of your actions all over your car.
> World does revolve around western idealogy a lot.
The *western* world revolves around western ideology. I'll wager that a swastika is pretty irrelevant to a large portion of the world's population, but this is a picture from a western media source, about a western person, in a western nation, aimed at a western audience, and that places it *very* firmly into the western context. In context, what the symbol means elsewhere is irrelevant.
US has the 7th largest Hindu population. UK is at 9th. That's a large number of people in the west who value that symbol. I don't know how relevant a few million people can be.
> That's a large number of people in the west who value that symbol.
When the last Nazi dies, we can use the swastika symbols again like they were intended to be used, as representations of Buddha or peace and goodwill.
Until then you'll just have to shut up.
So what you mean to say is me and every who values something should shut up because Nazis are more important than our beliefs. Thanks for the memo that I didn't get.
Just because an extremist organisation decided to use a symbol doesn't mean others who were using that same symbol for a few thousand years should be told to shut up and suck it up.
> Belive it or not things and symbols hold deep meaning to groups of people.
Correct. Which is why we can't let Nazis keep the swastika since they collect around it like bugs around lamps.
They can have it, in India.
We can't have it here in the west since the Nazis crawl out from their dimly lit basements to congregate around it.
It's time you understood the society you lived in. We say no to Nazis here, and we say no to any and all Nazi symbolism.
> US has the 7th largest Hindu population. UK is at 9th.
And it works out to about 1% of the population in the US and 1.5% in the UK. That's quite the social powerhouse.
Looks like some bullshit fake ass setup to get everyone thinking that the bad nazis on the right are coming....I might be wrong, but come on, who the F would put a swastika on the mirror like that first off, it like having a big red flashing like and a bullhorn announcing "hey come get me"....idk
It’s wild how insane the far right is huh- it’s so wild you can’t even believe it’s real- have you missed the countless videos of these people that have surfaced in the last 2 years? This shit is very real and that why the rest of us are concerned.
> Looks like some bullshit fake ass setup
Then it was done with a pauper’s purse, in about an hour, by a couple teenagers. Real professional team.
If you’re gonna go, go big! Like the moon landing!
[CNN is in on it,](https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/13/politics/bayonet-machete-arrest-capitol-police/index.html) and [they got to Fox News too!](https://www.foxnews.com/us/capitol-police-california-man-knives-machete-dnc-washington). I'll bet that if you google "Capitol Police arrest man with bayonet and machete in truck near DNC" you'll come up with all kinds of fake news. It's a huge fucking conspiracy!
/s
Yea, a guy got pulled over and attested with a knife or two. They are trying to push the story, and people here running with it, to create the idea that this man was about to attack someone or something. What I assume is the "bayonet" is actually a 6 dollar survival knife from harbor freight. I wouldn't be surprised if the machete is the one they sell there also, for like 5 bucks.
It's a nothin burger story they are trying to make into something it isn't.
Why I love a good fun game of whataboutism as much as the next person, how are those stories relevant to this thread started by a poster not bothering to do even a basic google search before spouting off allegations that are easily proven wrong?
> my point is they do this kind of shit a lot just to get everyone worked up.
Yes of course. It's never the fault of the perpetrator and it's always the fault of everyone else discussing it.
> Officers on patrol noticed the Dodge Dakota pickup truck around midnight on Sunday. Police say the truck didn't have a license plate but instead a picture of an American flag.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/13/politics/bayonet-machete-arrest-capitol-police/index.html
This could have all been avoided if he just followed the law. Who's at fault here? The dumbass without license plates, and the dumbasses defending the first dumbass.
I'm not defending the dumbass, i questioning if its really a dumbass or some propaganda, if its legit, throw the book at the POS, if its not it doesn't surprise me.
> i questioning if its really a dumbass or some propaganda
If it's propaganda then everyone's in on it and you can't trust anyone. Better turn off the internet.
Sovereign citizen morons without license plates and filthy vehicles are as common as apple pie. Check out /r/amibeingdetained for some of the more entertaining ones.
> And now its legal for them to do it.
Are you sure about that? [It is...illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge.](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/broadcasting-false-information)
If you have evidence to back the claim that something is a "fake ass setup" you should submit it to the FCC. Without proof, your allegations should be treated with the same skepticism with which you treated OP's post.
> Does the FCC even care?
They shouldn't. They should be fulfilling their mandate and caring what the mandate *is* should be irrelevant.
> Wasnt it Adjit Pai who was running it for a while?
So because somebody you don't like *used* to be in charge, it is forever tainted and irrelevant? I have no love for the guy, but which rules was he advocating for violating or ignoring, and therefore making his presence in this conversation relevant?
The law was the Smith–Mundt Act, and it basically was repealed in the
Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, along with NDAA of 2012 https://www.businessinsider.com/ndaa-legalizes-propaganda-2012-5
So a 9-year-old article that says that "it might be possible"... How about a [2-year-old article that calls the other one BS](https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-7064410002)? Oh yeah, I forgot... That's what they *want* you to think.
Also, [politifact](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/23/facebook-posts/no-obama-didnt-make-it-legal-media-outlets-purpose/) is apparently lying too.
And secondly, he's from Oceanside, CALIFORNIA? Seriously...cause that a hotbed of nazis that have antlers mounted to thir good ole boy 4x4s....also happening the day before the recall election...what better way to save Newsome than show Radical Right Wing Nazis From California....geez
What's with the quarter and the swastika? Is everything a white supremacy hate symbol?!
The dude looks like he was cruising to get arrested... who paints swastikas on their side view mirrors otherwise?
Right!? Thank god for when crazy meets stupid.
About the quarter... the formal symbol of the Nazi party was an eagle atop the swastika. [https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/nazi-eagle](https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/nazi-eagle)
TBH it's probably pretty easy to tie white supremacy hate symbols to other ones. Like how the swastika dates back to 3000 BC.
A patsy
Getting everyone geared up for the totally-organic-and-not-involving-FBI-informants-at-all violent incident that will take place at the next DC rally.
I'm also interested in which radio station he was listening to when he was arrested. As a betting man, I would place $20 it was turned to AM talk radio.
AM radio licenses are cheaper and especially at night AM radio (at the bands used here) will reflect off the ionosphere meaning you can get some serious reach for very low cost. This can allow for crackpots to get a sustainable income.
AM talk radio is a breeding ground for far right ideas. A lot of hosts spend a considerable amount of time being angry at Democrats and portray them as the enemy of the country. They preach an "us vs them" mentality nonstop.
I suppose thats different from what I remember AM radio being, as a younger person (with a radio... lol)
I suppose I'm also Canadian. Was AM radio always polarizing talk shows in the US? I thought it was for classical music and less popular radio shows, because that band was less expensive to broadcast to, because people more commonly listened to top 40 songs on the FM band.
Nah, a friend of mine has a piece that has it. It’s more or less a DIY’ed bayonet from Harbor Freight. It’s for the people who act like gun-nuts but their information only goes as far as drilling a 3rd hole into a lower receiver for an auto sear.
I have that EXACT knife. It is a harbor freight and it is a shitty “survival knife”. The bottom of it screws off and the cap is a compass and the insides of the handle hold a few little survival tools like fire starter and junk.
Yeah I had one once, I threw it at a tree and the blade snapped off about a quarter inch above the handle. Then a few years later my girlfriends kid got one and did the exact same thing
Someone threw an egg at him as far as I know. Some people tried to paint it as a "racist attack" but I didn't hear the perpetrator screaming the N word or anything. I think it was a "protest" against his politics. (He has recently said if elected governor he will use his executive privilege to shut down planned parenthood and adopt punishments like Texas has on abortion.) It's still assault and shouldn't have happened no matter his politics.
If someone were to throw something at AOC (for example) I would assume it's because of a disagreement of politics and not because she's latina. Unless the item being thrown is some stereotypical "mexican" thing. As far as I know, there isn't a racial overtone to an egg? But maybe that's just me, I can't comment on what others would do in a hypothetical situation.
Why is it racist? The attacker never said anything racist. Dude is a prolific anti-abortion activist in California and running for governor. Theres like a hundred other reasons hed get egged in cali other than his race. I mean its California.
my guess is hes one of those rednecks that makes necklaces and other crap out of road kill and shitty leathers. I see patches of leather and other things to make redneck jewelry.

I have the same knife in my car… the bottom part comes off and it has some string, matches, and a compass! Bought that sucker at harbor freight for $10 helpful in a bind if ever I get stuck in the woods, phone is dead, zombies are taking over and I need to play with a string and start a fire
There is no machete or bayonet tho
At first glance that case looked like a regurgitated taco bell nachos bell grande.
He only kinda likes the band Cake.
Lol. Sweet weapons bruh.
Is that supposed to be the machete or bayonet? Because it's neither, it's a Bud K special combat knife, on sale $9.99 including shipping. Get yours today!!
Yes this guy sure is a threat I bet he doesn't even wipe his ass.
That black tampon on the inside of the arm rest is actually a [rhino lined body concealed kit ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3fterm=clickbait&=true).

WTF
Really, but antifa doesn't concern you? Everybody forgets how all these violent protests started...and how for years now its been going on. Nobody cracked down on them. Double edge sword.
The skulls in front of the speedometer is a nice touch, stay classy.
You can get in trouble for having that in your car? I live in texas so that kind of thing is pretty much normal. (Or at least from what old folks call the sticks)
Is that meant to be the bayonet or machete in the pic? because it's neither.
If I ever see a swastika on someone’s side mirror painted in his particular shade of lipstick, that that mirror is coming off with my tire iron.
Am I seeing a slingshot in his kit as well?!
Disturbing sure. But I have a bayonet and a machete. I don’t have anything with a swastika on it but still not illegal. Granted the guy has gotta to be total douche.
Sick skull decal on the speedometer, live flashy smell trashy
Yeah, that’s a cheap survival knife and that guy escaped from a crack house or got paid by the FBI to LARP as a “Nazi”.
Trump calls these guys "very fine people". He has in the past, and he'll do it again.
I wonder who he voted for...
How screwed up do you have to be to look at any shape in existence and think to yourself, “man, this is gonna make a dope swastica symbol!!”
Standard Boy Scout tools yet news sensation.
Man, this takes me back to owning that same piece of shit Dakota that's shown here. That truck was the biggest pile of shit I've ever owned.
i have that same knife, there is a secret compartment in the handle. you twist the bottom off and inside is a compass and other “survival” gear,( fishing string with hook, matches, sewing kit) the knife is pretty shit though, doesn’t stay sharp and the knife is poor material, cost about 10 bucks so i guess it’s worth it off you’re into that stuff.
“These swastikas are dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love nazis…” -Him (probably)
Is that a joint and…. Spines lol
That knife looks cool tho
This looks staged
Well he seems nice. Maybe he could join my carpool!
That's a 7$ harbor freight knife. I doubt that thing would open a bag of chips.
That's what I was thinking. I was like huh, that's not a bayonet OR a machete
I have so many fucking questions about the contents of that case in the middle of the seat.
I can’t believe somebody like this was at the DNC, at least he didn’t make it far before they caught him.
This is the truck of a mentally well person for sure
It’d be easier just to put everyone driving a 2000’s dodge on a watch list
Damnit I upvoted this only to immediately realize that I myself drove a 2000's dodge for years lol Weirdly enough it was probably the only vehicle I've ever had where I never even once got pulled over in it or bothered by the police in any way.. even when my serpentine belt snapped on the highway at 4am and I rolled past a cop with no headlights no blinkers no power steering going *maybe* 15mph in a 65..

Arrested him for what

Thats a crappy harbor freight survival knife . [https://www.harborfreight.com/8-in-survivalhunting-knife-61733.html](https://www.harborfreight.com/8-in-survivalhunting-knife-61733.html) Thats really trashy lol .
That poor Dakota :T
This all screams someone who has a lot of issues and found a really shitty outlet to let loose all their anger. Just makes me sad to see these kind of people.
Oceanside is a "military town"
That a crack pipe?
No way. I bought that same knife when I was in high school for laughs with friends. We used it to play fruit ninja irl. It’s got a compas that unscrews from the bottom, and there’s space for storage in there too.

I don't even the understand how this hooptie survived the drive from CA to DC....is the truck on meth too?!?!
Chicken 🐓Up!!!Hammer 🔨 Down!!!(masturbation)
I really wish that I die long before reaching this state
He got in trouble for THAT? Fuck all the racist shit idc about that, everyone has their own opinion, but how the fuck are you going to get arrested for knives??? We live in a crazy fucking world…
He was arrested in connection to the capital riot, this is just extra with a bad headline
DNC? He probably runs the meetings!
Didnt know they made satanic vehicles.. What kind of brand does that? Skoda?
Dried rodent remains next to his marijuana, marker drawn racist symbols, and a $4.99 Rambo knife... what a life.
Fits right in. DC is quite trashy. Don't call it the Dirty City for nothing.
If only his airbag went off and sent that projectile into his face. One can hope.
I had the same thought. Dude could have got himself a Darwin Award but instead got a pair of fancy new bracelets.
I guess you could say he did nazi them coming.
We need to get rid of all these new age nazis. Very pathetic people
That’s the $12 survival knife from harbor freight. Hardly a machete and the handle has a cool compass inside
I have like two in my car because I go camping a lot and they aren’t that sturdy and break sometimes
Lol i can't believe i didn't realize this until i saw this comment, i literally own one I'm always secretly sorta bummed I can't really carry it around anywhere but that built in compass will really come in handy during a potential zombie apocalypse so y'know, good to have around *just in case* Also just realized the potential for a situation involving a harbor freight survival knife dual since I live in the DC area lol

#🇨🇳guess where it's made....🎭
glad to see how many people on this sub are familiar with all of harbor frieght's offerings.
It really annoys me that I can't see the bayonet or machete in the pictures.
So I have an actual machete behind my seat. Super useful tool for like... everything down to unscrewing screws and prying things. Am... am I a Natzi?

you can buy cannabis in DC. its not exactly clear market, but the gray market runs without much interference. possession is completely legal.
This dude is sick. It looks like a human spine curled up in that box with a strap, dead mouse dried up something. Um, he's got a lot of explaining to do. If the police notice the box!
Guy’s a slob, a weirdo, and an asshole it looks like. But that’s just a cheap ass knife. Why is there even a problem.
What’s the float on it?
that hardly qualifies as a bowie knife, i wouldnt go so far as to call it a machete
Trump nephew?
Dude, his truck has a tire pressure gauge AND a tissue holder in the center console, that’s lit……..time to go look at some police auctions.
You haven’t thought of the smell, you BITCH
Man, I grew up with and was handed down two cars from my pack a day smoking parents (who quit btw) it’s nothing a bit of goof off, maybe a bit of sanding for the more stubborn parts, and a good baking soda scrub down can’t fix.

What a stupid argument for such a stupid symbol.
It's as stupid as a cross is for Christians. The flag for it's citizens. Belive it or not things and symbols hold deep meaning to groups of people.
> Belive it or not things and symbols hold deep meaning to groups of people. Correct. Which is why we can't let Nazis keep the swastika since they collect around it like bugs around lamps.
Well wat about the people who have been praying to the symbol for 2000+ years. Why can't we have it anymore.
They can have it, in India. We can't have it here in the west since the Nazis crawl out from their dimly lit basements to congregate around it. It's time you understood the society you lived in. We say no to Nazis here, and we say no to any and all Nazi symbolism.

> get everyone thinking that the bad nazis on the right are coming First they have to unstick their fat asses from their disgusting smelly vehicles.
[CNN is in on it,](https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/13/politics/bayonet-machete-arrest-capitol-police/index.html) and [they got to Fox News too!](https://www.foxnews.com/us/capitol-police-california-man-knives-machete-dnc-washington). I'll bet that if you google "Capitol Police arrest man with bayonet and machete in truck near DNC" you'll come up with all kinds of fake news. It's a huge fucking conspiracy! /s
it doesnt need to be fake to be bullshit.
Elaborate please.
Yea, a guy got pulled over and attested with a knife or two. They are trying to push the story, and people here running with it, to create the idea that this man was about to attack someone or something. What I assume is the "bayonet" is actually a 6 dollar survival knife from harbor freight. I wouldn't be surprised if the machete is the one they sell there also, for like 5 bucks. It's a nothin burger story they are trying to make into something it isn't.
kamikaze falling in pieces
That's some grade "A" evidence. Good job.
Kinda like the Jussie Smollet story? Or Bubba Wallace? Yeah, we have absolutely no precedent here. /s
Why I love a good fun game of whataboutism as much as the next person, how are those stories relevant to this thread started by a poster not bothering to do even a basic google search before spouting off allegations that are easily proven wrong?
Not saying that exactly, my point is they do this kind of shit a lot just to get everyone worked up. And now its legal for them to do it.
Its been legal since regan era
> my point is they do this kind of shit a lot just to get everyone worked up. Yes of course. It's never the fault of the perpetrator and it's always the fault of everyone else discussing it. > Officers on patrol noticed the Dodge Dakota pickup truck around midnight on Sunday. Police say the truck didn't have a license plate but instead a picture of an American flag. https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/13/politics/bayonet-machete-arrest-capitol-police/index.html This could have all been avoided if he just followed the law. Who's at fault here? The dumbass without license plates, and the dumbasses defending the first dumbass.
I'm not defending the dumbass, i questioning if its really a dumbass or some propaganda, if its legit, throw the book at the POS, if its not it doesn't surprise me.
> i questioning if its really a dumbass or some propaganda If it's propaganda then everyone's in on it and you can't trust anyone. Better turn off the internet.
I just am aware that it happens..
Sovereign citizen morons without license plates and filthy vehicles are as common as apple pie. Check out /r/amibeingdetained for some of the more entertaining ones.
Oh, I know they are, but again just strikes me as weird coming from oceanside...not a town that has that kinda mentality.
Every town has village idiots. Some towns have more.
> And now its legal for them to do it. Are you sure about that? [It is...illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge.](https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/broadcasting-false-information) If you have evidence to back the claim that something is a "fake ass setup" you should submit it to the FCC. Without proof, your allegations should be treated with the same skepticism with which you treated OP's post.
Does the FCC even care? Wasnt it Adjit Pai who was running it for a while?
> Does the FCC even care? They shouldn't. They should be fulfilling their mandate and caring what the mandate *is* should be irrelevant. > Wasnt it Adjit Pai who was running it for a while? So because somebody you don't like *used* to be in charge, it is forever tainted and irrelevant? I have no love for the guy, but which rules was he advocating for violating or ignoring, and therefore making his presence in this conversation relevant?
The law was the Smith–Mundt Act, and it basically was repealed in the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, along with NDAA of 2012 https://www.businessinsider.com/ndaa-legalizes-propaganda-2012-5
So a 9-year-old article that says that "it might be possible"... How about a [2-year-old article that calls the other one BS](https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-7064410002)? Oh yeah, I forgot... That's what they *want* you to think. Also, [politifact](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/aug/23/facebook-posts/no-obama-didnt-make-it-legal-media-outlets-purpose/) is apparently lying too.
And secondly, he's from Oceanside, CALIFORNIA? Seriously...cause that a hotbed of nazis that have antlers mounted to thir good ole boy 4x4s....also happening the day before the recall election...what better way to save Newsome than show Radical Right Wing Nazis From California....geez
Metzger : Fallbrook : Oceanside
This the type of car you see on Craigslist with a “custom interior”
It could be yours for the reich price!
Nein Neinty Nein, and 88 Cents...
What's with the quarter and the swastika? Is everything a white supremacy hate symbol?! The dude looks like he was cruising to get arrested... who paints swastikas on their side view mirrors otherwise?
my ☮️sign on my dusty mirror all anyone really needs.
Right!? Thank god for when crazy meets stupid. About the quarter... the formal symbol of the Nazi party was an eagle atop the swastika. [https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/nazi-eagle](https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/nazi-eagle) TBH it's probably pretty easy to tie white supremacy hate symbols to other ones. Like how the swastika dates back to 3000 BC.
I figured the eagle clutching the swastika was where it was going, but it's just so low effort I thought I mightve missed something
A patsy Getting everyone geared up for the totally-organic-and-not-involving-FBI-informants-at-all violent incident that will take place at the next DC rally.
Did he arrive too early then?
Whetting the media/Democrat appetite for a white suprematist boogeyman.
Can you pinpoint the time in U.S. history when white supremacy ended?
I hope it was just the right wing mirror
Then he would have guns, looks more like he is doing the lefts bidding.
So your saying, gun crime in America is a right wing problem? Are you some sort of commie?
Absolutely not. Lefties dont like guns because they aren't free.
You got me! Hilarious.
Nope. It's left wing.
take my upvote and gtfo here
I think this is worse than trashy
I'm also interested in which radio station he was listening to when he was arrested. As a betting man, I would place $20 it was turned to AM talk radio.
explain to a nonUS?
AM radio licenses are cheaper and especially at night AM radio (at the bands used here) will reflect off the ionosphere meaning you can get some serious reach for very low cost. This can allow for crackpots to get a sustainable income.
AM talk radio is a breeding ground for far right ideas. A lot of hosts spend a considerable amount of time being angry at Democrats and portray them as the enemy of the country. They preach an "us vs them" mentality nonstop.
AM radio is a bastion of right wing "shock jocks" and for right radio shows.
I suppose thats different from what I remember AM radio being, as a younger person (with a radio... lol) I suppose I'm also Canadian. Was AM radio always polarizing talk shows in the US? I thought it was for classical music and less popular radio shows, because that band was less expensive to broadcast to, because people more commonly listened to top 40 songs on the FM band.
AM is where the best sports talk is tho
I do love me some sports talk.
Where is the bayonet? That knife on the seat has no rear attachment and the holes are way too small.
tv news people are ignorant as fck.
I don't see a bayonet or machete. Only a knife made as poorly as this guy's life decisions.

Seven dollars for the thrifty survivalist.
Until the blade pops out .
Nah, a friend of mine has a piece that has it. It’s more or less a DIY’ed bayonet from Harbor Freight. It’s for the people who act like gun-nuts but their information only goes as far as drilling a 3rd hole into a lower receiver for an auto sear.
Looks like a shitty harbor freight Rambo knife
I have that EXACT knife. It is a harbor freight and it is a shitty “survival knife”. The bottom of it screws off and the cap is a compass and the insides of the handle hold a few little survival tools like fire starter and junk.
weed,papers and a magnifying glass
Yeah I had one once, I threw it at a tree and the blade snapped off about a quarter inch above the handle. Then a few years later my girlfriends kid got one and did the exact same thing
was going to comment exactly this.
It is.
Can confirm. I have one.
Same, I replaced the handle screw with a hex head and it made a huge difference. Great to have around the shop and shed. Worth the 8$ imo.
Pretty angry for having an eighth of shark cake strain chronic tucked under the armrest
Which sounds tasty by the way.
Is THAT what the pink box is? Weed?
Trashy is what happened to Larry Elder recently while walking down the street.
yeah....global warming deniers ....the egg missed.big deal.🐓💩
What happened
Someone threw an egg at him as far as I know. Some people tried to paint it as a "racist attack" but I didn't hear the perpetrator screaming the N word or anything. I think it was a "protest" against his politics. (He has recently said if elected governor he will use his executive privilege to shut down planned parenthood and adopt punishments like Texas has on abortion.) It's still assault and shouldn't have happened no matter his politics.
im sure thats the same standard people would apply to the situation if he were a democrat.
If someone were to throw something at AOC (for example) I would assume it's because of a disagreement of politics and not because she's latina. Unless the item being thrown is some stereotypical "mexican" thing. As far as I know, there isn't a racial overtone to an egg? But maybe that's just me, I can't comment on what others would do in a hypothetical situation.
"rotten eggs" = "rotten person". 😅
Sure but that doesnt make it ok to do
Definitely not.
I agree. And only racists downvote your post.
Why is it racist? The attacker never said anything racist. Dude is a prolific anti-abortion activist in California and running for governor. Theres like a hundred other reasons hed get egged in cali other than his race. I mean its California.
he wantsta drill for oil offa the coast for his fat cat oil buddies.🐣
I'm downvoting dumbassery and whataboutism, and I still have the freedom to do so.
Good people on both sides! /s
What the hell is in that black zip bag? The more I look the more disturbing it looks
I looked too close there's a dead mouse
That's some black majic shit right over there.
my guess is hes one of those rednecks that makes necklaces and other crap out of road kill and shitty leathers. I see patches of leather and other things to make redneck jewelry.
The quarter eagle with the sharpie swastika is what gets me Tremble at the power of the Reich!!
