"On February 7, about a dozen masked men, some of them carrying AR-15 semi-automatic rifles, drove a U-Haul truck to a freeway overpass at Lincoln Heights’ edge. The men, dressed in black, shouted racist slurs and waived black flags with red swastikas on them. Enraged Lincoln Heights residents soon approached to counter protest. Local police who converged on the scene from the nearby town of #Evandale, across the highway, appeared cordial toward some of the white supremacists. As the crowd of Lincoln Heights residents swelled, the ultra rightists got back on their truck and drove off. Counter protesters burned the Nazi flags left behind. "

Good. The renewal of the black panthers. They can't rely/trust cops, or the government to help. They will help each other.

That would be something, but I wouldn’t assume this antifa militia is Marxist-Leninist.

Is there a name for this nazi-watch org, and how can I donate to them?

Edit: they're called "Lincoln Heights Safety and Watch Program" but googling it only returns more news articles like this. Dont they have a website with a donate button?

Bold, considering neo-Nazi klans are now a law-protected groups by default.

The law doesn't protect them from getting shot
