White power march planned in a friend's area this week

[Kukulofori]

The OC, in California.

What can she do? I admittedly know very little about fighting fascism, what should her goal be? Why? What are the tactics available to her?

I'm really pretty clueless here.

Get a crew together.
Is there no opposition to this already? It's all very short notice but she could try and flyer for a counter demo, though it is very late in the day.

Get everyone you can to protest against them, friends, family, strangers, co-workers etc. Run them off the street, use violence if necessary.

[Kukulofori]

Okay, what will that accomplish?

Showing them that they are not wanted and will not be tolerated.

[Kukulofori]

Alright.

She says that last time there was a clash between then and some Mexican immigrants. The nazis won because they're old muscular guys and the Mexicans were just teenagers.

Get your own muscular guys.

Yes i imagine all her coworkers (if she works) are going to want to have a fight with aload of white supremacists.

If there is an opposition march then do that, if possible get into contact with any anti-fa types in the area and see what they are doing. Hopefull if there is a counter march then they will have got into contact with the people who had a fight with them last year.

Honestly though, at this short notice, don't blunder into anything ill thought out.

If you can't get enough people for a physical response (counter-demo) etc, then just go along, get a good eyeball that turns out and maybe conduct a leaflet campaign against them. Even if that means simply printing off a few a4 pages yourself and cutting them in half, handing them out. Try and do something.

Hello all, I'm the friend in reference to the post, and to clarify on the situation, it just turned out to be some fat old John Birch style idiots holding signs against "illegal" immigration, nothing really happened because no one gave them any attention, and they just went home :)

[Holden Caulfield]

even if its not applicable anymore this is great advice

(this isnt aimed at anybody but is a general remark)
Getting beaten up, nicked or made fools out of (although antifa at RWB last year might be the glorious exception to this rule, :lol: I jest) because of shoddy planning is not a good thing no matter how brave/passionate/stupid you are.

I normally just observe anyway :cool:

I has no need for muscular guys! :lol:

Okay, what will that accomplish?

If it's carried out everywhere, then white power people won't be able to openly express their views anywhere.

Where in the OC, btw? And what group is it?

Unsure which specific group, I think something with the John Birch society. And it was in the Stanton/Garden Grove area. It was a pretty pitiful demonstration actually.:lol:

Is there a poor working class area of the OC? Isn't there a load of gangs and all there?

I live in the poorest area of Orange County, so I likely live in it.


Isn't there a load of gangs and all there?Depends on where you're at in Orange County, my area is often said to have a lot of gangs, but in reality, has a low crime statistic, and I've walked around outside at around 3 am and not had any trouble with violent crime, only cops stopping me and harassing me lol.
