Now that my keyboard is functional again, I can respond to shit. I've done some research and found that the alt-right had some weaponry with them as well, but does not appear to have masks
There is video of the car getting hit by a bat before speeding into the crowd. Not a massive hit, but a hit still
And the guy in there is a diagnosed schizophrenic, so he will likely get off anyway

Nazism in Germany did some of the most heinous evil shit known to man, and frankly I'm pissed that people do this jokingly. They can do it according to the law, but frankly if I was a employer I wouldn't hire anyone with a violent and racist ideology. I don't know what their problem is, frankly I don't care. This is the same shit as people protesting at military funerals.
1. I don't think it's funny. In fact I'd like it to stop for many reasons. It won't stop though
2. It's stupid to become a nazi now and a bad idea, but I can't go over there and slap sense into every single one of them. They have a right to voice their opinion, no matter how stupid and unresearched it may be. People change when they research that shit and get to let it go, but firing and/or socially exiling people over their views just entrenches them. They'll always be on the record as a nazi, so they may as well go all in.
3. I do hope you are equal opportunity for all the violent retards and also refuse antifa and BLM then, as these groups have done the same shit without mass media attention. BLM less so, but their pattern follows the same as the alt-right pattern of mostly peaceful protests with occasional violent retard(s) doing bad shit, and the occasional unhinged looney calling for the deaths/genocide of people they disagree with
But antifa the most, they can be directly blamed for bringing the NSDAP to power. Antifa rioting and attacking more moderate right-wing voters and parties in pre-WW2 Germany polarized the country and eventually brought Hitler to power just as a "stop these people from ruining our country/make Germany great again" stance. Sound familiar? It should. If you want to prevent fascism from growing, consider cutting it off at the source- Get rid of antifa and the polarizing forces that push people further to the right. And make it so that the people are united and without grievances that they would out through fascism- So drop diversity hiring and identity politics.
Especially make sure that antifa does not show at right-wing protests, since any confrontation will push not only the protestors to the right, but also onlookers who notice masked people coming in with weapons for the explicit purpose of fighting and vandalism
Of course, antifa doesn't exist to fight fascism. If they did, they'd have changed tactics a long time ago to stop creating more of them. Any time antifa shows up anywhere, the entire political spectrum shifts a little more to the right as everyone notices extremist left-thugs breaking things and hurting people.
The same would happen but with a shift to the left if there was a nazi-fighter group that would show up at gay pride parades and similar to vandalize everything and fight people
