Minnesota neo-Nazis fired from diner after resident exposes them posing in full SS regalia

Minnesota neo-Nazis fired from diner after resident exposes them posing in full SS regalia

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/minnesota-neo-nazis-fired-from-diner-after-resident-exposes-them-posing-in-full-ss-regalia/



According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, two neo-Nazis in Minneapolis, Minnesota were fired from the diner they worked for after being photographed in what appears to be World War II-era SS uniforms.

Hours after the mens’ “Nazi selfie” caused Minneapolis residents to call for a boycott to the Uptown Diner, the restaurant’s manager made a post of their own.

“The Uptown Diner unequivocally repudiates the beliefs and ideals of neo-Nazis and white supremacy,” the restaurant said in a statement on Facebook. “Hate and bigotry have no place in society. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming environment at our restaurant and in our community.”

Along with the post showing the former Uptown Diner employees in SS regalia, Minneapolis resident Kyle Dekker’s also revealed a profile photo of a former employee with a photo claiming he’s a member of the “Rhodesian Army” — a reference to an unrecognized white supremacist government in Zimbabwe that counts Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof among their fans.

They're too young to know what really happened during the Nazi/fascist era of the 20th century. And they likely don't care. My father and FOUR uncles fought the Nazis. I have no tolerance for these foolish assholes.

However, I can't imagine any of them would actually want to live under the police state that existed under nazi Germany. no one was safe. I imagine they'd change their opinions very quickly if they were actually living under such a regime.

and I've heard similar opinions even from racist Mexican-Americans -- like the fact Hitler exterminated Jews & Communists but if they were under it they would shit their pants. There isn't that kind of risk. Look at Christopher Cantwell crying over a fucking warrant.

Fascists like fascism so long as their crowd is in power.

Who thinks it is cool to dress up like SS soldiers? They lost, like the south lost. Goddamn bunch of losers.

and go on a shooting spree at their former places of business. I really hope that doesn't happen, but I don't think any of these people are very mentally healthy and most of them are armed to the teeth.

at the Uptown diner. Now that I know a Nazi may have cooked my dinner, I'm glad I sent them back.

I hope everyone of these racists are identified, lose their jobs, and are marginalized.

they are more emboldened than ever. Watch out, the violence is only going to escalate because they think the president of the whole fucking United States has their back. And as long as the cowardly, fascist loving Republican Party remains silent they are enabling the rise of these racists.

Do all these douche bags work in food service? Nothing wrong with food service but I thought these guys were superior or some shit like that.
