Did anyone bother to contact the Sanford Police? I did, and the Sanford Police deny any indication of Neo-Nazi groups patrolling in Sanford. Here’s the e-mail exchange:
My initial e-mail (which included an embedded link to the Memeorandum thread):
“There are a number of reports in the media that Neo-Nazis are conducting armed patrols in Sanford. Can you confirm or deny whether this is true, and provide any information you have on the subject? If someone is able to get back to me as soon as possible (and before Monday) that would be appreciated, since such rumors are spreading.”
Response from Sanford Joint Information Center:
“At this time the City of Sanford has not confirmed the presence of Neo-Nazis groups.”
My follow up:
“You say “not confirmed.” Is there any indication of such patrols that the Department is aware of?”
Further Response from Sanford Joint Information Center:
“We have no indication of any such patrols at this point in Sanford. The only large gathering was the children and their parents at the Easter egg hunt.”
I can’t say this is the worst example of rumor mongering and irresponsible conduct by bloggers and the mainstream media I have ever seen, but it’s a contender.
For The Daily Beast, Huffington Post, Mediaite, and The Daily News to spread such thinly-sourced claims without verification at a time when racial tensions already are high is irresponsible in the extreme.

Dear Journalists,
THIS is what journalism looks like.
Gee in these days of cell phone cameras where we can glimpse tornado videos that were extremely rare 20 years ago, somehow no one has been able to capture a single image of these “neo-nazis”? Imagine that. If a kid fell off his skateboard in Sanford and did a back-flip down a flight of stairs there would be pictures. But nope. No one seemed to have any kind of a camera when the neo-nazis were spotted.
Can’t tell you if they’re patrolling, but they’re more than usually edgy...
” Can’t tell you if they’re patrolling, but they’re more than usually edgy... “
As someone pointed out on an earlier thread, probably half of them are FBI infiltrators....
Sounds about right...
My Uncle has been saying for months,
“Where is the KKK and the nazis been?”
Well, I can tell him now they are on the move.
What a ride this summer is going to bring. n/s
Not unless nazi=new black panthers.
Exactly. bttt
"Neo-Nazis" are now anyone who is white. Didn't you get the memo? Their president has said so.
Question: If Obama is now the Black President, is Biden now the White President? The man is mentally retarded...
Rofl. True, sort of. And others. They’ve sure blown my deepcover now, which was bound to happen since I’ve come out in daylight - will have to set up a whole other ID again :)).
They’re getting quite paranoid. Maybe with reason.

Makes sense, as the donut shops are going to close for Easter and Feddies are about to suffer withdrawal symptoms in four, three, two, ....

No neo-Nazis patrolling?
What do you call the new black panther party?
