Summary
A group of masked men with Nazi flags protested outside a performance of “The Diary of Anne Frank” in Howell, Michigan, shouting antisemitic slurs.
Audience members were reportedly frightened and needed escorts to their cars. The Fowlerville Community Theatre, which staged the play, described the protesters’ presence as a disturbing reminder of the fear faced by Holocaust victims.
The Anti-Defamation League condemned the display. The incident follows other recent displays of racism in the area.
We should start beating these people who seem to think Nazis are cool. Make it painful to be a bigot.
My thoughts exactly. Make Nazis Afraid Again.
Ooh, there’s a song about that acronym!
MNAA MNAA, do do do do do

Letting them live is too kind. People like this cannot be rehabilitated.
I would prefer them to live in constant fear and pain. Let their suffering never end.
As a Jew I fully understand your sentiment, but it is a really dangerous thing to normalize. Everyone can change if they’re given the right kind of attention and put in a ton of work being deprogrammed. There are amazing examples of Nazis and white supremacists finally understanding the impact of their hatred. I’m not saying it’s always going to work, probably not even most of the time. But absolutes like this are not a constructive solution. Threatening death, violence, and/or refusing to even try to rehabilitate racists, bigots, and Nazis only gives them more power.
Sorry dude, we’ve already tried the kid gloves. Look where that got us.
They get violent, everyone crosses their arms disapprovingly, and they come back with friends.
