As a refresher, the Black Hammer group is a black separatist / communist / land back / anti-vaccine group that recently made headlines 1) for buying land in the middle of nowhere in CO, and 2) hating on Anne Frank.

Calling the NYPD Nazis and citing Jim Crow, sounds so familiar

A group of 30 + antivaxxers claiming to be doing a “sit in” refused to check in at the host stand, skipped waiting customers, and sat themselves across multiple tables in a Cheesecake Factory in NYC.

They are now arguing with police. One antivaxxer compared the police to Nazis. pic.twitter.com/elFKOoTZ98

They should thank BLM for the inspiration. And there's also that they inspired so many to go out and get a handgun so they can self-protect and replace those thug Nazis...

Reminds me of how it's long been a ridiculed trait of crazee tourists in NYC from the heartland: they always go to the national chain restaurants that they could eat at in their own town, as if they hadn't left

Someone from one of these far right groups (or even from BLM, because it is something they might participate in) should challenge another to a duel. I swear that, if we brought those back, it would reduce mass shootings. That energy needs to be channeled somewhere.
