Canada: MR Edmonton members confront poster-snatchers

Video here. Good on them! I think they followed the poster-snatchers for just long enough to see that they would not engage in conversation, then broke off following them. Much longer would have been fruitless and make them look bad.

I don't agree the word "fascist" is appropriate to describe the poster-snatchers. It gets over-used and true fascism or fascist behavior goes far beyond mere poster-snatching and a refusal to talk to someone. But would I concur with the use of the words/phrases "intolerant", "anti-free speech", or perhaps "supporters of rights when they're only for 'our side'"? Yes. Typical feminist behavior.

Agreed Matt.

I'm also disappointed by the call to identify these two. Tearing down posters and refusing to engage is not sufficient reason to doxx someone (not sure there is ever sufficient reason to publicly doxx someone. If their actions are criminal, take it to the police, not the public. But poster tearing. Not even remotely close). They are getting sufficient public shaming by having their image attached to their actions. Attaching additional information about them is unnecessary, IMHO. It makes us look like extremists. "Someone dares to oppose our opinions, lets make it personal!". It just bothers me... a LOT
