A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.

The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.

Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.

    Start punching Nazis at any opportunity, when you see someone punching a Nazi, look the other way.

      I’ve never seen a Nazi in person (and been aware of their fascism). In seriousness have you? What happened when you punched them?

      They go around in groups though. The only time they actually admit to be Nazis is when they’ve got their friends around them and they’re waving flags.

      It’s like this in every country. They hold demonstrations and then 10 times the number of counter protesters turn up. I’ll get worried when the number of counter protesters goes down but I’ve not yet seen that.

      Seriously. When they show up in khakis and black masks, make them fear for their safety.

      I abhor violence, but it’s going to take violence to prevent huge systemic violence down the road. If these fucks come to real power, I know I’ll be on one of the lists.
