		<description>[&#8230;] I was a lurker in one of the Facebook groups that took immediate action to protect the signs, it was known as the “Anti-Karen Brigade” (recently renamed the “Anti-Racist Brigade”). And it was composed of supporters of the BLM movement, including parents who were concerned about the safety of their children and their right to free speech. I became aware of their presence shortly after a “pack of Karens” were reported to have been taking down signs outside of El Diamante. [&#8230;]</description>

A 2009 Homeland Security report cited “disgruntled military veterans” as one group to watch. Timothy McVeigh was known in the Army as disciplined and motivated but awkward toward many people and hostile to the black soldiers he led. He shined in evaluations but failed in an attempt to join the Special Forces because of an injury, and left the service disillusioned in 1991. He found infamy on April 19, 1995, detonating a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people and wounded 600 more. James A. Fields Jr., 20, who served briefly in the Army, expressed admiration for Nazis and was charged with second-degree murder in the vehicular death of Heather Heyer. Another veteran, Dillon Ulysses Hopper, served in the Marine Corps until January and then emerged as the leader of Vanguard America, a neo-Nazi hate group that marched alongside Fields in Charlottesville (Hopper was not present). Unlike Fields, who washed out of the Army in four months, Hopper was a Marine for more than 10 years, rising to the rank of staff sergeant, deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan and serving as a recruiter for Recruiting Station Charleston, S.C., from 2011 to 2014. The third veteran to emerge with connections to Charlottesville is Nathan Damigo, 31, a former Marine corporal who was deployed to Iraq twice and saw combat, according to military records. The Southern Poverty Law Center has previously identified him as the founder of the white supremacist group Identity Evropa, which he started after being jailed for armed robbery.</description>

Buy what membership?  If you are talking about Valley Voice you don&#039;t have to &quot;buy&quot; membership to read it.  DUH! For the record Sonny Boy I don&#039;t work for the Valley Voice but I say that you are a little piece of nothing if you support Trump and that makes you complicit in his racism, lies, and treason.  Send your membership dues to the Putin/Trump political fund.  They will gladly use your money to help pay the Taliban to kill American soldiers.</description>
