My son made the local Newspaper



His sentiments were shared by self-identified ANTIFA member Tyler Charles Gardiner, 29, of Captain Cook, who wore all-black and a face covering and opted to attend the Hilo protest instead of the Kona one because the latter would’ve been “too hot.”

“We fought Nazis back when they took over Germany,” Gardiner said, “and we’ll fight them here, too.”

He said that a sense of empowerment, and a commitment to peaceful protest, motivated him to attend the rally.

“I want to oppose Trump in the most peaceful way possible and tell him that we are sick of him and there’s more of us than him, and he just needs to go,” he said. “It feels empowering, and it makes me feel like we are gonna make a difference finally. People are starting to wake up, they’re starting to realize he has lied to us, everything that he has said is not true and just a cover-up for his own terroristic crimes.”

Why is your POS son covering his face if he is so proud of figting these so called Nazis???

[SVPete]

He hasn't fought Nazis, ever. Fighting Nazis was completed in 1945; his compliance with Godwin's Law is indulging in fantasy.

He doesn't like heat? Maybe leave the hoodie part of his cosplay costume at home.

He’s wearing a hoodie and covering his face because when he starts throwing rocks, he doesn’t want to be identified

Indeed. It's too bad avoiding the heat was more important than the cause he thinks he is fighting for.

Such self-inflating drama. If Gardiner opted out of the Kona "event" because it was "too hot", then fighting actual nazis would be way out of his comfort zone.

He said that a sense of empowerment, and a commitment to peaceful protest, motivated him to attend the rally.

Sounds like he's trying to find fulfillment. He won't a lasting purpose there.

And he’s wearing gloves so he won’t leave fingerprints on the rocks that he’s throwing

1996? Bill Clinton became a Nazi for his second term?

And when you ask him what they’re fighting for they don’t even have a clue they’re just useful idiots
