Neo-nazis kicked down my front door when I was around 19-20.

The underage sister of a friend was being trafficked by them and managed to escape. They came looking. Lucky for us, they showed up expecting, at most, a couple emo kids, but we just happened have a few guys over that were training for mma that night, which means they got the ever-living-fuck beat out of them and never came looking again. One of the mma guys punched a tooth out of one of their heads, got it gold plated and keeps it on a necklace now lol

How every Neo-Nazi should be handled.

It does sound like something I wouldn't believe. But it's just too badass, I'll believe you

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 65 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I swear its all true, but just to make it a little harder to believe for ya; 3 of the 4 mma guys (mr.necklace was the only one to stay cool as all hell) went on to join a cult led by a 70+yo man claiming he was Jesus who lived in a school bus that he'd renovated into a trailer house. They ended up cooking meth for him some years later and that's the last I've heard about the lot.

I'm not American, but is this Florida? Sounds like a Florida thing

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

East Texas, which, in many ways, is the Florida of Texas. Depends on the specific area for sure (it is a very large area after all), but interactions like this pretty often go on without any kind of police intervention. Lots of personality (in a more positive sense) near the cities, but a very strange area in many ways, full of real, real strange folks the further into the hill country you get. Their BBQ can't be beat tho. Comes with the '...huh' of it all, I like to think.

That actually makes it more believable somehow.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago

The first part of your story sounded a little far-fetched. But the second part adds context to which I say, "yup, sounds like a bunch of meth-head Nazis and MMA fighters."

She hasn't gotten caught up with any nazis since then afaik, but "ok" isn't how I'd put it, unfortunately. I'd rather not get more specific than that. Sorry.

That kid that kept the gold tooth on a necklace was me.

I'm pretty sure that person was Albert Einstein!

It was actually the late Errol Flynn, but, surprisingly enough, kooky old Al was also around and down to clown on that particular night.
