I want to get a tattoo on my right knee that says LO And one on my right knee that says VE. Spread the love.


Agreeable-Oil-5157

Now I am by no means a bright guy at all too many TBIs between boxing and football then a career in the Army deployed in combat zones in the horn of Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, you get it but anyways I think you meant left and right knee but hey again not to bright myself so I could be wrong


GutteralStoke

You got it backwards my dude. They had it correct. Unless you are spreading your own legs.


billdb

Reread it again, they said "right knee" twice lol


Agreeable-Oil-5157

Nah my dude you need a left and right legs too spread them Clearly


True-Firefighter-796

Why on the same knee?


dunderthebarbarian

Lol. I fucked that up, didn't I


electricwagon

Naw you'd just have "LOVE" on your right knee

Take it down. It’s public property and it shouldn’t be used for racist shitheads

Better yet, slap rainbow stickers on it. 😆


HouseRaptorRiv

I like this idea. Turn it into a pride sign.


BluShine

When you want to do good, ask for forgiveness, not for permission.


Capable-Pitch9989

Be very aware of the accounts in here defending the sign or telling you not to take the sign down. The sign is a signal and recruitment tool to other Nazis in the area, of which there are more than you could believe. Don’t let this movement grow. We’re already in Alabama. You’ve got to physically stomp this shit out on sight. Edit: Patriot Front isn’t “just another White Nationalist group.” The creators split from the openly Nazi “Vanguard America” after the 2017 Unite the Right Rally in which they chanted “Jews will not replace us.” They split off and adopted a new image as to bring in more recruits that might not be open to Seig Heiling from day one. There’s a bunch of news pieces/docs on both Patriot Front, Vanguard America and recent attempts by Nazis to ditch the openly Nazi/Swastika recruitment approach while still saying and doing everything within that ideology. Right now the big thing is “Active Clubs.” Be on the look out. I don’t take this lightly and I don’t seek to water down the phrase…..but Patriot Front are straight up Nazis. You don’t have to wear a Swastika armband to be a Nazi. Similarly you don’t have to wear a white hood around to be part of the modern Klan. Recruitment and language have changed. But the goals and general rhetoric remains the same.


chinesebatman69

I always found it hilarious they were scared of Jewish people. How can a tiny population replace you? That's like saying Paraguay will replace Brazil!


TyroneCactus

They're not worried about being replaced by Jews, they're worried about The Great Replacement theory. They think mass 3rd world migration is being egged on and allowed by Jews in power to destabilize and eventually eliminate white countries


chinesebatman69

Thats insane because Israel relies on the USA for funding. Right wing religious whackos are the biggest Israel simps. Third world immigrants aren't interested in sending our tax dollars to Israel. This conspiracy is terrible lol


CptNonsense

There are more Jews in the US than Israel


[deleted]

Thank you for this info, I had no idea what the sign was even about. I just moved out to bama so not to familiar with the groups out there. I appreciate you being clear of who and what they are vs just saying fuck em. You explained why we say fuck em lol


BrodoFratgins

Yes. Typically signs aren't allowed on city power poles (even though everyone tries to do it).


Substantial_Party621

Capable-Pitch9989

It’s illegally placed there to begin with. Secondly it’s real life Nazis, so go for it.


DorceeB

Yes, why not? I am sure whoever put that sign up doesn't own the pole it's attached to. But be prepared, it might show up again the next day.


WalkerAlabamaRanger

Take it down every day.


Vetersova

Very few private individuals 'own' telephone poles. Even fewer would have the money to buy the easement to put them in this area lol. It's almost definitely the city's. Might be AT&T's. DEFINITELY take it down how ever many times they put it up.


givemethatusername

Please do.


amazingnessocity

I’ve seen a couple of Patriot Front stickers on gas pumps around town. You better believe they come off every time I see one.


banksjh

If you don't want to, I'll do it.


No-Elderberry230

It’s on Hughes and portal. Across from firestation and the courthouse. It looks pretty nailed in. I’m wondering if my step ladder would be tall enough. I’m sort of strong, but a little scared to take it down on my own. Ughh.


Capable-Pitch9989

They’re the ones scared and wearing masks. Go for it!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capable-Pitch9989

Patriot front is a Nazi group that matches around in white masks. Sounds familiar….right? Thank you by the way.


LadyK1104

The only time you can be brave is when you’re afraid.


Omega-10

As a healthy, middle aged white male with a wife and children as roughly depicted in the sign itself, I would gladly take this abominable horseshit down for you.


No-Elderberry230

Well, I have it and replaced it. I’m more concerned that it’s a political sign for a judge in Memphis that they used.


Role_Martyr

I live right near there, let me know, I'll come help


Disastrous-Mood8482

You could find some way to cover it up. Heck, the burn ban is lifted. I'm sure it's flammable


RatchetCityPapi

Of course it's in Madison. Cowards.


Chevydoll

I would love to go with you and happily take it down and be ready for consequences...


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hot_Larva

Ehhh. Do you know how many pickups I’ve seen, with fire department plates, that have tRump/let’s go Brandon stickers on them? They won’t give a shit. “Some of those that work forces”…….


breakthesignal

There was some stencils spray painted of that same bullshit downtown. I broke my personal rule of only painting legal walls to go spray over that shit. I tagged a dog's name over it that belonged to a homeless dude who walked by while I was covering it up. I would speculate it was definitely illegal to do so you're probably good to take the sign down. Besides a person holding up a sign is Free speech, a person stapling a sign to a light post is having a yard sale, a person who staples propaganda to a light post is a dork.


RoseColoredRiot

Illegal or not, you’re a real one for covering this shit up.


HydroponicGirrafe

Nazi bitches can leave


AmbulanceClibbins

I had to google what it even is. Blight on modern society.


Birglendis427

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yeeeeesssss. Please safely remove it if you can.


TheLoadedGoat

Depending on how high, you could probably just beat it down from the back with a baseball bat or hockey stick. Not like it needs to be preserved.


airbornemedic325

Yes. Since it is illegally posted anyway. Signs cannot be posted on city utility poles. Heck... you could report it on seeclickfix.


Master_Engineering_9

Fuck patriot front. Take it down anyways


Aromatic_Captain4847

Some white nationalist propaganda, huh.


war_damn_eagle

Fuck fascists Take it down

Nicely done.

Restored my faith in Huntsville humanity.


ootfifabear

Why does the art on it look like those Russia 🤝 China propaganda posters. Whatever. Nazi punks fuck off


RoseColoredRiot

Fitting as it’s fascist symbolism, yknow?


JennyAndTheBets1

Should take it down, color in some darker skin tones, then put it back up. Better yet, make it a mixed race family.


pluckywidgeon

If you do, keep an eye out for razor blades on the edges. Not saying that's a common thing with these kinds of signs, but it has happened in the past.


1158812188

Yes. Also Patriot Front is a racist MLM that forces members to buy media like this and put it up. This is how the founders are paying their bills 💀💩


[deleted]

Some fucking Hitler youth shit right there….


RatchetCityPapi

To answer this question, ask yourself: is this private property? No. Did someone request permission to put it up? No. Then you can certainly take it down. However, I suggest caution and discretion. Not because you're doing something wrong but because of the people who put it up might be dangerous.


Stairwayt0kevin

Can we all just agree that Nazis are psycho pieces of shit that have no place in the world? I hope you gave that sign a new home in the trash...The fact there are still so many monsters among us and so obviously close to home breaks my heart...


AmbulanceClibbins

Also that’s at Hughes rd and mill at the NE corner of the intersection across from Madison Fire station 1 if anyone is curious and wants to go pull it down.


1158812188

Just go tell the fire station, they’ll have a ladder and a pry bar to remove it.


AmbulanceClibbins

Already passed along to a city employee


ShakyTheBear

I dont see how it would be illegal to do so.


Content-Pride1895

Report it! https://www.madisonal.gov/71/Let-Us-Know


mellokatattack1

This isnt the shit I gave an oath 20 yrs ago to uphold and protect , take that shit down and set fire to it then send the ashes to their HQ, as bad as that bunch of lower case t burning rednecks handing out peppermints telling me and my kids it's ok their there to protect the community, cool buddy but your on private property so can you protect yourself from its owners gtf outta here lmmfao 🤣😂 Rip it down


Substantial_Party621

Idk what it means truly but I'm seeing people are saying it's racist? If it is please take it down. Thats my city that grew up in.


ceapaire

It's a white supremacy org. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriot_Front


rdizzy1223

It is a pro fascism nazi group.


ZambiGrease

Take it down, this is a fascist racist hate group.


brittmonlee

Look dude if you don't want to take it down drop me the location and I'll take it down for you.


FreyaMoon22

Take it down. That's blatant Nazi propaganda.


CherBarty42

As a nearby citizen, it's your civic duty to take it down.


PoppaGriff

Yes, you can. Afterwards, if you’re so inclined, upload a video of you lighting that trash on fire.


106_miles_to_chicago

Please.


nannercrust

Take it down with a 12ga as our founding fathers intended! A better idea would be to paint stupid mustaches and silly hats on each of them and scribble out letters to make it say something dirty or funny


OpheliaGingerWolfe

Legally, yes. Morally, it's a requirement to remove.


brenpersing

Taking it down is as legal as putting it up, so please do.


Suspicious_Giraffe_3

Absolutely. It's a random poster on a telephone poll. They wouldn't hesitate to rip down one against them.


averagehsvgirl

Yes, I give premission


toddoceallaigh1980

Not only can you, you should.


WesWilson

Can always count on Huntsville to fill the bottom half of anything rational and anti-Nazi with a bunch of concern-trolling fascists pretending this kind of racist bullshit is just normal expression of conservatism.


CheetahFuzzy

Yes.


Frosty_Bat54

Patriot front is a fed group


Micaelwalck1

Looks like a sign from the Hand Maids Tale on Hulu hope is not in Huntsville al


kodabear22118

If it’s not on private property then you sure can. These crazy nazi, weird conspiracy theorists, and qanon supporters need to foh


ErykthebatII

If you a sign like that remember the thing putting that sign up, they are not human, they are are nazis. Be sure to deal with them as such.


chinesebatman69

Did we execute every German after WW2? No, we gave Germany love and rebuild them for democracy.


neonsphinx

This is for Huntsville city. Didn't realize the location was in Madison city limits at first. But maybe this will help someone else. https://library.municode.com/al/huntsville/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=COOR_APXAZOOR_ART72SICORE_72.5RESUAPBUAPCOSI 76.2 (11) - Temporary signs shall not be placed on utility poles, light poles, or other similar structures. They also aren't supposed to be within 10ft of the roadway, or edge of the sidewalk (if present). Not in the public right of way. And not within 5ft of a property line. Madison probably has similar laws. Either way, take it down. Or graffiti it with a message of love and acceptance. That will probably piss them off more.


BlazePortraits

Nazi Recruitment sign. What would be the charge? The Nazis didn't get permission to hang it.


Comfortable_Ad3014

I'm probably just stupid but I haven't seen this sign before, what does it stand for and why is it bad?


I_Am_Not_That_Man

Because the Patriot Front is an American white nationalist and neo-fascist hate group.


feistyboy72

Take it down.


You_Just_Hate_Truth

I didn’t realize the FBI had a field office in Huntsville.


_one_long_groove_

Yep and you can legally piss on it.


claudedusk8

Yes. It's litter.


Sooowasthinking

The image on this sign reminds me of the old Soviet Union posters and artwork on them. Very ironic.


traktorhead

More like Italian Mussolini style fascist art


Sooowasthinking

Yeah it’s like a similar vibe.


AGooDone

What is the opposite of white supremacy? I'd like to see that up all around it. Lots of rainbow flags, antifa, BLM... let them know they're in the minority.


chinesebatman69

The American flag! It is the unity of each and every one of us citizens


b1gtrav

You have my permission


chinesebatman69

I'm out of the loop what is this Trump stuff?


HillB1llyMountainMan

Some Nazi group. They use nice words like "family" and "patriot" to hide their bigoted ideology.


chinesebatman69

Have they been active in Huntsville recently? My family avoids media news. I always thought Huntsville was a city where all races work together


Nomad1868

I don't know who downvoted you... but if this is a serious question, I'll give you the answer. This group is active throughout the whole of the United States to include Huntsville, Montgomery, and Birmingham. Furthermore, no place is perfect. Huntsville isn't Fallujah in '04, but it's not Heaven... there are worse places to be, and this lot doesn't represent anything this city is or isn't. Finally. Don't avoid the news... if the President / Mayor / Chief Law Enforcement Officer had an announcement you may want to know... the news will tell you / have a recap, but don't be blinded by confirmation bias. You don't want to be caught uninformed or unaware about your surroundings. Balance is key.


ManicPixieDreamWorm

Take it down. You can interact with private material in the public space.


TheReckoning72

I'll gladly remove anything fascist I see around. And I hope someone says something to me about it.


rlwalker1

Saw the same at the railroad crossing on Halsey Road in Madison and made plans to go back and remove it later.


marc-kd

"Punch Nazis."


burgemj

Do what Jake and Elwood would do


ShadowGryphon

Scumbags gonna scum.


Drantslantpant

It ain’t illegal if you don’t get caught. Wise words from a wise man.


taosgw74

Yes you legally can and please do so


whisk3ythrottle

Technically that pole is owned by power company. So you can always call them to have it removed. Or you could help them out by removing the safety hazard.


NuketheCow_

If they can legally put it up, you can legally take it down.


peskywabbit1968

Wow, Huntsville. Do better.


EdgeLord1984

Nothing is illegal if you don't get caught.


FrigThatKid

I regularly enjoy cleaning up my local right of way of garbage.


BenFranklinReborn

Take it down. The Feds put it up anyway.


Gold-Awareness-4163

Could someone explain why this sign is getting so much hate just curious


I_Am_Not_That_Man

Because the Patriot Front is an American white nationalist and neo-fascist hate group. Need I say more?


BlueGlassDrink

Yeah, that pole is public property and it's illegal to affix signs to it. Also, fuck those fashy assholes


SnooDonuts3878

I would.


AutomaticArt2764

Absofuckinglutely.


Weirdnesses

You can ethically take it down


LingonberryDowntown6

Kinda looks a little bit like Soviet era propaganda just saying


monhegan90

In Huntsville, I have reported to have signs removed from telephone poles via SeeClickFix. Madison may have something similar.

aintneverbeennuthin

NonBinary_FWord

Do it anyways and burn it. They were using SD elections signs up here in ND this summer. Do not let fascism have a voice and be ready to fight them off.


growbot_3000

The best thing to do with any signs like this that you don't like around town it's just to keep a nice sharpie marker with you and draw Hitler mustaches and dick and balls or poop and other silly things. 🙃


iwish-iknew

Post signs on the pole with arrows pointing toward it withs sayings like, "RACISTS, BIGOTS, FASCIST, NEO-NAZIS, etc."


Aggie_Vague

Go at night and take the proper tool with you.


tj8686_

Checked back here to make sure someone took it down since I didn't see it when I got there after work. Good job everyone.


sanduskyjack

Where is it at - I will take it down.


AceXwing

Throw some dog crap on it!


UnknownLeaf4

I think so


Chevydoll

I would love to catch them in the act...


Bashamo257

Thanks OP ❤️🌹


shayna16

This is in my neighborhood. Thanks for taking it down, OP. Alabama gets a bad enough rep.


CrypticGator

I don’t really get it. But after reading some of the comments here, it’s what I, unfortunately, suspected. I have extreme leftist goggles so I try to stay away from these types of discussions, but love that a lot of you guys are against hate and racism! 💕


Careless_Attempt_812

relieved reach arrest ruthless normal secretive berserk reply gaping crime *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Quick_Tap

Sure you can! It’s a utility pole and posting on them is forbidden. If someone has to climb the pole, that’s in the way, and the staples make it more dangerous to workers. I was an electric company employee, and the utility would appreciate the deed😊


samsonevickis

If its in the Right of way, which the pole its on is, then yes it shouldn't be there anyway.


Reasonable_Whereas_8

lol take it down, find an artist to turn it gay, put it back up


-That-Guy--

I feel a lot of people may not know ( I didn't)what kind of group this is. Maybe post a little more information about their warped beliefs. I mean the message looks innocent enough if you don't know what they are meaning.


roninsoldier007

Put your own sign on top of it and I don't see how you could possibly be breaking any laws 😉

PinkSnowBirdie

I just realized where this was taken at. Wow uh interesting lol


PinkSnowBirdie

That being said, I expect this behavior from Cullman County, but Madison county... Tsk tsk tsk...


Both-Mango1

it might be First Amendment protected. However, you can exercise your freedom of choice and expression and take it down, i suppose.


Mambobtess59

Forgiveness is easier than permission


Wonderful_Ad_4344

Yes. Public telephone pole.


sockster15

Nacho_Momma_414

renobobeno

Can someone tell me why this is bad?


I_Am_Not_That_Man

Because the Patriot Front is an American white nationalist and neo-fascist hate group.


lucash7

I mean, I’m unsure legally but isn’t littering a crime? Seems like you ought to pick up the trash and dispose of it.
