Neighbor threatened after Nazi flag uproar

OSHKOSH - A woman says her family has been targeted after a neighbor, unbeknownst to them, hung a Nazi flag outside the duplex over the weekend, a photo of which was shared on social media with the family's address.

Now she's trying to raise money to move from their Oshkosh home and for attorney's fees to pursue legal action against the man responsible for the original Facebook post, according to a GoFundMe account she started.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined an investigation into the threats the woman received.

Rosangela Diaz said in the post that she learned from a friend that the neighbor who shares the family's duplex had hung the flag. Someone had posted an image of the flag, and duplex, on Facebook and listed her family's address.

of why resorting to violence is dangerous. Let's say some of our hostile brothers and sisters from the DU showed up looking to play "punch a Nazi." Poor Rosangela or her husband or her son takes a knuckle sandwich based on an assumption.

This Richard Spenser is a high profile white supremacist, so he's an easier-to-identify target, but even he surely has some dopplegangers out there.

The policy should never be punch first, ask questions later. If you see a Nazi attacking someone else, they're fair game. Wallop 'em. But looking to clock someone you think is a Nazi is reckless behavior.
