Prominent neo-Nazi Thomas Sewell has been stopped by police at a Sydney train station and ordered to stay away from Australia Day celebrations in the City of Sydney.
We had neo-nazis here in Florida on the main stretch of highway (I4) and when I suggested using the laws that are in place to prevent these things, all I got was “oh but you wouldn’t want to violate freeze peach!”
Fucking frozen peaches. 🧊🍑
Thanks for trying, at least.
It's pretty concerning times when we have notably prominent neo-nazis in Australia though. I'm honestly surprised NSW proactively stopped him.
Displaying Nazi symbols is banned in NSW
My freedom of speech would be impacted exactly 0% because I have no desire to see or display Nazi symbols outside of historical context.
My argument was that Florida Statues 876.12 and 876.19/20 were being violated, wearing masks and hoods, and also exhibits that intimidate.
Cops didn’t want to arrest the Nazis. On an interstate highway…
Hilarious that these scumbags thought they could congregate ‘in uniform’ make their way collectively on public transport and just arrive.
The fucking hubris of these maggots.
The most surprising part of this is that NSW police was able to respond to this threat and people were actually arrested.

Looks like NSW Police aren't as keen to run escort for these scum as Victoria Police are.

I’d say their political masters are less tolerable of police inaction against literal Nazis.
