I saw this first thing when I got to work this morning and I thought it was a fairly decent approach to Neo-Nazi rallies.
There is a Neo-Nazi rally planned for Orlando this weekend, and Florida Sen. Gary Siplin, rather than ignoring the problem (like I think he SHOULD), will be staging a ‘counter’ rally that will shower the Nazi moron’s with love.
“We are going to love them. We are going to shower them with love because we know love conquers all. Love never fails and love conquers hate.”
One problem Mr. Siplin… I know it SOUNDS good in thoery, I REALLY don’t think it will work. Imagine a large mob of people, that are full of seething rage and hate aimed in your direction simply because you are of a darker color. If you try to stop them with praise and love and adoration… I can only see that as incentive to pop you one.
I’ve tried the “kill them with kindness” route before and before it actually starts being effective, you wind up making the already mad party, even more angry than they were before. Not to mention, you’re dealing with fairly ignorant people, who resport with violence when something deviates from “the plan”. Your BEST bet, in my opinion, would be to go about your daily lives as if they didn’t even exist, but I’m willing to bet SOMEONE will start something, a riot will break out, and the press will eat it up ignoring anything but the ones who have a constitutional right to assemble.
