Add this to an embarrassing day for Nazis. Patriot Fart getting chased out of Philly
Content Warning: Description of Proto-Nazi Genocidal Warcrime committed by American militia against Lenape people during the Revolutionary War. Heavy content.
The Gnadenhutten massacre, also known as the Moravian massacre, was the killing of 96 Christian Lenape by U.S. militiamen from Pennsylvania on March 8, 1782 at the Moravian missionary village of Gnadenhutten, Ohio. It was the biggest war crime of the Revolutionary War.
In September 1781 British-allied Native Americans, primarily Wyandotte and Delaware, forced the Christian Native Americans and missionaries from the Moravian villages. They took them northwest toward Lake Erie to a new village called Captive Town on the Sandusky River. The British took the missionaries David Zeisberger and John Heckewelder under guard back to Fort Detroit, where they tried the two men on charges of treason: the British had suspected them of providing military intelligence to the American garrison at Fort Pitt. The missionaries were acquitted during the trial.
The Lenape at Captive Town were going hungry because of insufficient rations. In February 1782, more than 150 were allowed to return to their old Moravian villages to harvest the crops and collect stored food they had been forced to leave behind. The frontier war was still raging. In early March 1782, the Lenape were surprised by a raiding party of 160 Pennsylvania militia led by Lieutenant Colonel David Williamson who took them captive. The American militia rounded up the Christian Lenape and accused them of taking part in raids into Pennsylvania. Although the Lenape denied the charges, the militia held a council and voted to kill them. Refusing to take part, some militiamen left the area. One of those who opposed the killing of the Moravian Lenape was Obadiah Holmes, Jr. He wrote:
"One Nathan Rollins & brother [who] had had a father & uncle killed took the lead in murdering the Indians, ...& Nathan Rollins had tomahawked nineteen of the poor Moravians, & after it was over he sat down & cried, & said it was no satisfaction for the loss of his father & uncle after all".
After the Lenape were told of the American militia's vote, they requested time to prepare for death and spent the night praying and singing hymns. They were held in two buildings, one for men and one for women and children.
The next morning on March 8, the militia brought the Lenape to one of two "killing houses," one for men and the other for women and children. The American militia tied the Lenape, stunned them with mallet blows to the head, and killed them with fatal scalping cuts while they stood in line singing hymns to their death. In all, the militia murdered and scalped 28 men, 29 women, and 39 children. Two Lenape boys, one of whom had been scalped, survived to tell of the massacre. The militia piled the bodies in the mission buildings and burned the village down. They also burned the other abandoned Moravian villages.
The American militiamen had looted the villages prior to their burning. The plunder, which needed 80 horses to carry, included everything the people had held: furs for trade, pewter, tea sets, and clothing. A few years later, missionary Heckewelder collected the remains of the Lenape and buried them in a mound on the southern side of the village.
The site of the village has been preserved. A reconstructed mission house and cooper's house were built there, and a monument to the dead was erected and dedicated a century later. The burial mound is marked and has been maintained on the site; the village site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The reason I bring this up today is that July 4th is the date the first white child was born in Ohio. The same location of the first white child being born in Ohio in 1773 became the location of the mass burial of Lenape martyrs a few years later.

After the Patriot Front Nazis got outnumbered for assaulting civilians in Philly, they cowarded away with their toy shields in their REHEARSED formations. Militias shouldnt be rehearsing to attack Philadelphians. They need to leave our home alone!

Lifegate PAC and Family Research Council has been politicizing Elizabethtown School Board positions to push bans on books teaching about concepts of race stratification such as To Kill a Mockingbird and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. To ban books on gender stratification like The Scarlett Letter. To ban the teaching of these topics in school including banning teaching these topics in History Class. At their meetings they are talking about how to deal with "radical leftists". They have also physically been removing folks sitting in on meetings. The wish to ban teaching US History such as slavery, peonage, suffrage, lynchings, segregation, assassinations, conspiracy allegations and incarceration is wishing to repeat History. It's only one way national Republicans and Hate Groups are pushing for white and Christian supremacy. You all should pay attention to your local school boards. Especially if you think these books and topics shouldnt be banned. Call out your local racist school board members anonymously @RUSTContactBot

"Maybe you should try and build dialogue and work together with the other side against common enemies"
Look, I agree dialogue is a great tool, but not when people want you dead. You cant just talk to fascists and they become magically better. This isnt an interfaith multicultural conference where we talk about our identities and find middle ground to become friends. There is no middle ground between wanting to live and wanting to kill. The social work that goes into changing genocidal people isnt something that can be done or should be done at a multicultural dialogue conference. You need to have mutual respect before you have crosscultural dialogue and racists who want to kill people dont have that. Instead echo that supremacy is never tolerated and take action so that it never becomes tolerated in your circles

Now that Philly has begun sensationalizing the gun violence again with the 300th homicide this year. I want to do some comparisons between police gun violence and civilian gun violence. I dont have an accurate count of police violence for this years police gun violence rate yet. But I do have last years. 34 police shootings from 6000 officers would be equal to 8937 shootings from 1579000 residents. But there were not 8937 shootings last year. There were 2200. Which means police gun violence occurs at a rate 4 times higher per capita than civilian gun violence in Philadelphia. This year there have been 1224 shootings in Philadelphia. For it to be on pace with last years police gun violence there would need to be 4021 shootings so far this year. So that means Philadelphia police last year were still 3.5 times more violent than Philadelphians have been this year. So stop sensationalizing your neighbors as violent and start sensationalizing the violence police commit. Make sure everyone knows how violent the police are in comparison to the residents they are supposed to "protect"
