Man arrested this morning in white supremacist truck with weapons near DNC headquarters said he was "on patrol"

Really not the master race’s best work on display here.

Sure about that?

We may have different versions, but mine has a super stubby micro tang with a clearly welded (and no apparent post weld stress relief heating) to a bolt with a nut in the handle side. Pretty big “blade” (almost hesitate to call it that) to have such minor (and questionable) support.

Yeah, I was looking into more details of the images of the cabin, and the colorful decal under the armrest, “Shark Cake” - it’s a strain of recreational weed. The joint as well in his little kit bag.

And, of course, as expected, Reich Wing commenters are calling this guy a “Leftist”. Because they have lost all contact with objective reality.

When I had a yard, my Kabar was mostly used for trimming and weeding. But it is full tang carbon steel and can hold an edge.

I don’t know what the POS bush out side my apt is, but it grows like a weed and I have to wack it back monthly or it starts covering up the steps to my apt.

(Speaking for the arrested white supremacist, and not necessarily agreeing with him.)

Except for the missing license plate, what was he being charge with?

He could argue that he was being singled out for practicing his “performance art” and not his behaviors, and that the arrest was a violation of his first amendment rights. (He could have taken better care to make sure that his “props” were prima facie harmless.)

This is a similar strategy of the Westboro Baptist Church where they support a controversial cause, and takes these slights against “muy freedumbs” and convert them into a revenue stream.

Officers arrested the driver, 44-year-old Donald Craighead of Oceanside, Calif., for possession of prohibited weapons, including a bayonet and machete.

Do you think they’re calling that bowie knife the machete or the bayonet?

This doesn’t seem like the person you want to run into on a bad day. Probably a bit trigger happy and quick to put that knife to use under the slightest “motivation”.

I dunno DC knife laws. They probably have a limit on fixed blade lengths. Also, it is possible there were other knives not shown in the released pics.

As someone whose last name roughly translates to “heathen” I’m even more disgusted to be associated with these assholes.

What’s with the Dead Kennedy’s symbol on the tail gate. Don’t tell me the nazi’s are trying to corrupt that symbol as well, or did this guy just get all lathered up when he heard “California Über Alles?”

This is the guys truck:

Which AFAIK isn’t a rune… Not sure WTF he was going for.

I’d like to know how he got from California to DC in a truck that had a flag for a license plate.

Could just be a rune incorrectly done?

It’s possible that he only changed it prior to this? Went across country on his normal plates and then changed it?

You’re totally right. I looked too quickly.

Seems likely, kind of like those racist nimrods who can’t draw a swastika correctly.
