If you haven’t looked at the Facebook page of nationalist group, United Patriots Front, then hoooooo boy, are you in for a serious treat punish.
The group’s page is filled with unsourced infographics very clearly made with MS Paint (and the artistic integrity of a cranky toddler), expletive-laden webcam videos shot in front of Australian flags, and constant claims of ‘We’re not racist, but…’.
But recently, in the lead up to their upcoming rallies against Islam, they’ve gone a ~shitbomb~ further. They posted a video of the vicious murder of 16 year old anti-racism activist Carlos Javier Palomino in 2007, who was stabbed in the heart by a neo-Nazi on a train in Spain. The video was accompanied by homemade narration by an administrator of the group, Neil Erikson, in which he describes the fatal attack as “bloody awesome” and “one patriot versus the unwashed filth”.
The video, which has now been deleted, sent a clear ‘stay away’ message to anti-racism activists, who have advertised their own counter rallies. The narration of the violent video also stated, “Look they’re like ants running away from one patriot. We have the power. There he is by himself, he won the battle. One patriot versus a thousand left wing unwashed scum. Bring on July 18, Melbourne, Parliament House, 1pm.”
Let’s keep in mind: these people are all around us, and they vote.
