Hatreon was set up specifically because Patreon doesn't allow nazis. But I'm not sure if that site managed to keep going for more than a few months.

Thats probably because their base doesnt want their primary income to come from a site whose very name incriminates them for the hate crimes they commit

It's not the grifters, but it is harder to get a good grift going on smaller platforms, especially when all the obfuscation is taken out.
Most fascists or nazi fanboys don't think of themselves as fascists or nazi fanboys, they need a figleaf, no matter how microscopic or transparent, so they can tell themselves that nooooo, i'm not a nazi, i'm a mens rights advocatre, identaterian, patriot, republican, classic liberal, constitutional originalist, a good god fearing christian, etc...

As I recall Hatreon's failure was not from a lack of people willing to donate to nazis, but that no payment processor was willing to deal with them.

Hatreon is a great joke/parody name though. Just not one an actual business should use and expect to be taken seriously.

Now that Tumblr is banning all porn, someone should make a spin-off for porn called Cumblr.

Also, the ones who do wear the nazi/facist/whatever label with pride tend to be broke-ass mouthbreathers.

There's a follow-up article about Mr. Murderbritches:
https://www.sltrib.com/news/2018/12/06/utah-bobcat-named-mr/

He's apparently quite the kitty. They had to capture and release him twice. After the chickens, he came back and got into a dog house?

The deputy who released him didn't want to put him down or put him in a kennel because of his "fighting spirit".
He even helped the guy get some road-kill (deer and pheasant?) as a snack.

After watching the cat eat, the deputy said “It was really cool,”.

Bad news gone right: James Fields, murderer of Heather Heyer, was found guilty of murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run. He's looking at 20 to life.

Update on nazi fuck:

James A. Fields Jr., an avowed neo-Nazi who rammed his car into a group of counterprotesters at a white-supremacist rally, was sentenced to life in prison by a jury Tuesday after a trial that offered an unsparing view of the physical and emotional ruin he caused in this city with a burst of vehicular rage 16 months ago.

As he had throughout his two-week trial, Fields, 21, sat impassively at the defendant’s table, clad in a powder blue sweater, as the jury delivered its sentencing decisions after about four hours of deliberations that began Monday: life for first-degree murder; 70 years for each of five counts of aggravated malicious wounding; 20 years for each of three counts of malicious wounding; and nine years for leaving the scene of a fatal crash.

The jurors were instructed that the sentences would be “presumed to be consecutive” unless they recommended that the terms be served simultaneously. The panel made no such recommendation. Fields’s overall sentence: life plus 419 years and $480,000 in fines.

Emphasis mine.

I like how the jail sentance is one year short of 420 years. "Yeah, we could have given you hitlers birthday as your overall jail sentance, but no, fuck you."

Probably not intentional, though.

What the fuck, Brandt, that is not self-explanatory at all?

There is no good news here, just deep despair.

Not only is it not self-explanatory, it's also not correct grammar.

Depends, I guess. Whose teeth are those?

Wait...whose fucking teeth are those?!

The Tooth Fairies have to get that spare change somehow. Threatening people using the teeth they've already gotten only makes sense.

Bad news: Police called on noise complaint on young black men.
Gone right: Police join said men in playing Smash Bros.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/police-respond-noise-complaint-end-playing-video-games-respectful-tenants-002329963.html

“We got a lot of cops. We’re telling them this is the same noise level we’ve been having,” Williams tells us. “They confirmed, a few times, that we weren’t even loud.”

Eventually, one police officer asked the young men what they were playing.

“I’m like, ‘Y’all wanna play Smash?!’ And two of them literally raised their hand and walked up. They’re like, ‘How do you jump?’ They were acting; one of them was playing Pikachu!” Williams says, laughing, alluding to the fact that the officers knew how to play very well.

Nitsua

That is how police work SHOULD be. I'm glad they could join in the smash fest. A great story with a good ending.

That Springfield is within driving distance of all fifty states including Hawaii, and it's streets seem to constantly rearrange themselves, so I'm guessing the flight will take at most two commercial breaks.
