Christopher Pohlhaus is the leader of Blood Tribe, dude with the face tattoo.

New Hampshire police defended them while they went against Uhaul safety policy to transport people to protests so they can fly Nazi flags and harass people.

The Blood Tribe probably didn't rent the truck in his name, but its worth calling and asking Uhaul to investigate any rentals by Christopher Pohlhaus. Since cops don't care

For the 100th time, notice the fascists don't pull this shit where guns are common, just like ICE? Especially where open-carry is illegal?

Do what you gotta do to be legal in your state, but get fucking strapped, learn safety, learn the manual of arms for whatever weapon you choose, learn your local laws. Practice, practice with your heart slamming, practice tough conditions. As with any other martial art, you have to have develop unthinking reflexes. If you can't react without thinking about it, you're a danger to yourself and others.

Yes, guns and ammo are more expensive than many think. You need to put at least 1,000 rounds through your weapon just to break it in, understand what it will and will not do, get confident*. Yes, it's a steep training and learning curve. Having said that, if you can consistently hit a 10" steel target at 30'-40' with a pistol round, good enough, happy camper.

I do NOT expect most people to go this far, no judgement if you won't. If you refuse to arm yourself, my respect is unconditional in this regard. But if you're going to carry a weapon, these things are the bare minimum required. A pistol in your closet "just in case" is worse than useless.

Saw white supremacists hanging out in downtown Nashville year before last, 20 of 'em waving flags. Was dying to jump out the car, sling my rifle and go have a civilized chat. They would have fucking scattered.

Serious question OP. What should the pigs have done? Where they breaking any laws or merely Uhaul terms?

ADDENDUM: Aw fuck me. Had my Colt .45 in the car, had no idea Tennessee was open carry since 2021. (LOL, kinda disproving my own point, ain't I?) Hadn't looked at open-carry laws because I had no intention of doing so, was there for a work. And as for the Nazis? Not a single man had a weapon in view.

* Note on weapon confidence. I FINALLY figured out what's wrong my with 9mm Ruger. Sometimes the first round no go bang, have to chamber another. WTF? Still don't know exactly what's wrong, but that only happens after I take it home disassemble it for cleaning. See what I mean about leaning your chosen weapon? And make no mistake, it's a fucking weapon. Calling it a gun dilutes the sense of what you're actually handling.
