The Illinois Senate on Sunday approved a resolution calling for police to categorize neo-Nazi groups as terrorist organizations, according to the Chicago Tribune.

The measure came as a response to Saturday's violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., during which one person died and scores more were injured.

“It is vital that we stand in total opposition to the hatred, bigotry and violence displayed by the white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups in Charlottesville this past weekend,” said state Sen. Don Harmon (D), who sponsored the measure.



“They are the heirs to the Ku Klux Klan and the Nazis. We fought two bloody wars in opposition to their ideologies. We must continue to fight those same twisted ideologies today,” he added.
Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a man with reported ties to the white supremacist movement drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters in Charlottesville. The alleged driver, James Alex Fields Jr., 20, has been charged with second-degree murder in the crash

I recall these Fascists were optimistic the sudden shift in political climate would allow them the opportunity to make some serious advances.

So much for that. Looks like we're in for another repeat of the White Scare*.

It certainly helps that at least some of them have friends or family in high places. It's only through sheer dumb luck their body counts are low, if existent at all.

The White Scare is a term I coined in reference to the sudden surge of news coverage concerning the traction of White Nationalism that reached a fever pitch during the '90s. I draw analogies to the Red Scare in the early and mid 20th Century because, although great upheavals and tragic events caused these concerns, what started as counterterrorism gradually devolved into moral panics that drummed up a boogeyman to frighten others into conformity.

How long do you think it'll be before Antifa does something just as insane and gets the same treatment?

They are too fucking soft and the police and media pretty much ignore the shit they pull. They simply have no reason to fuck themselves up by pulling a stunt this r.tarded.

There's this thing called "due process" that means you can't just up and declare something terrorist and strip it of rights, any more than you can suddenly pass a bill declaring them convicted of murder and send them to prison.

This is why Antifa and BLM are not just declared a "terrorist group" when much of it is just hashtag activism and people doing something under that name are often completely unrelated to and don't even know each other.

Also, a Senate "resolution" means jack shit when they're telling someone else to do something. If you want something done, there's this thing called a "law" you have to pass, and both chambers of the state legislature have to do it, then the governor has to sign it.

So meaningless virtue signaling, again.

So now with Antifa being labeled a terrorist organization in New Jersey, and neo-Nazis as well in Illinois, how long is it going to be until all political groups will be called such?
 
This is the only real terrorist group operating in the US:

I think it just depends on the next group Antifa decide they can get a rise out of.

Basically, anyone who isn't them. I've even seen them bashing liberals on social media, for being "too soft" on "Nazis."

Ever since that guy slammed into counter-protesters with his car, in the minds of the Antifags, it's pretty much given them more justification for their bullshit.

Yeah I've seen people saying they should condemn violence on both sides labelled as "Nazi apologists" because they are "excusing the Nazis" fuck this country.

Such useless eye for an eye mentality.

"IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT KILLING THE FUCKING NAZIS YOU'RE A NAZI YOURSELF!"

So much for it being the 'Current Year™' amirite?

if you whine hard enough about being oppressed, eventually someone will come along and oblige you.

Forgive me older kiwis if I'm wrong, but weren't the white nationalists of the 80s and 90s actual tangible threats.

I recall watching a documentary on the Aryan Nation... There was a radical group of these tards, known as The Order. They were a group that robbed in broad daylight, boosted armored cars and were fond of assassinating critics. They were stopped finally because their leader dropped a pistol while they were boosting another armored car...

So is Illinois saying we're undergoing a repeat of that?
