'We need to call it out' - NC womans confrontation of Nazi flag-flyer goes viral

[bathroommonkey76]

After Sunday’s violent demonstration by KKK and neo-Nazi groups in Charlottesville, Va., Page Braswell decided she couldn’t remain silent about a man in her town flying a Nazi flag.

Braswell, 44, didn’t know Joe Love until she pulled into his driveway Sunday, but both live near the town of Mount Holly in Gaston County, about 15 miles northwest of Charlotte. Braswell said a photo had been circulating of a Nazi flag hanging at the home.

“I thought, ‘What? This is my town,’ ” Braswell said Monday, after video of her confronting Love had been viewed 138,000 times and shared almost 3,000 times on Facebook.

The video shows Braswell driving to Love’s home, spotting the flag and a Trump sticker on his truck, then asking, “Hey! What’s up with the Nazi flag?”

Love asks who she is and says, “What’s that flag got to do with you?” He tells her his name and, in language laced with profanity and hand gestures, tells her it’s none of her business and she should leave. He says he’s not a Nazi but “this is Nazi f---ing America.”

“Where do you live? What kind of flag do you fly?” he asks.

“I fly a rainbow flag, thank you,” Braswell responds, prompting Love to call her “queer” and “lesbian.”

1. This lady is lucky to be alive.

All I can say is she has bigger balls than me to go into a stranger's yard and ask him those questions. haha

[riversedge]

4. From the very beginning. I thought. Is she all alone? Yup.

[Generic Other]

6. That's why they call it courage

Courage of one's convictions. We could all stand to learn from her brave act. If Germans had refused to be silent every time a Nazi strutted by when they were still just a group of thugs spouting their evil ideology, there would have been no holocaust.

7. Yeah that was not advisable

3. Hahaha hilarious.

5. These people DESERVE to be exposed and scorned. And shit on.

[bdamomma]

16. Social media

is playing a valuable asset to call out these cowards and hateful people out.

9. Is that posted on her FB page with the video?

It should be so people in the area can decide if they want to patronize the auto shop of a Nazi sympathizer.

[Phentex]

11. Or...

send him a postcard of a rainbow

[Maraya1969]

13. That is where I found it.

[meadowlark5]

14. Good.

Because that would reach more people that she knows locally.

[LanternWaste]

8. Seems a leading indicator

"and, in language laced with profanity..."

Seems a leading indicator (and for the Take-Offense-Before-My-Knee-Jerks Crowd: not ALL profane individuals.)

10. Someone said in another thread we need to understand these people.

I understand them.

Racist piece shit is all I need to know.

There are people more deserving of living the American dream that he is living.

12. That's pretty much how I picture all Trumpers.

[Foamfollower]

15. That was pretty damned stupid of her, she's lucky to be alive.

The moment she pulled into his driveway, she was on his property and could easily be considered a trespasser.

STUPID MOVE!

She could have easily pulled over and parked on the street and been on public property recording everything, then the Nazi fuckhead could have been charged for his threats, but by being a trespasser, which she was the moment she pulled into the Nazi fuckhead's driveway, she opened herself up to a violent response that could have got her killed without the Nazi fuckhead EVER being charged for it.

If you're going to confront the Nazi fuckheads, do so in a manner that insures legal liability on their part at the very least. Don't be STUPID like this woman was.

[cwydro]

17. I think she was brave.

Not stupid.

[Foamfollower]

18. No, she was STUPID.

She could have accomplished the exact same thing by parking on the street and forcing all legal liability on him.

Instead, she gave him a perfect opportunity to kill her as a trespasser.


And she is still open to being charged with criminal trespassing if the Nazi Fuckhead decides to press charges,

19. She discovered he was a Trump Deplorable as well as a nazi.

No big surprise there.
