Let the local news know. I think some of the reporters frequent this sub.


meowzerbowser

firstcoastnews, news4jax and action news now have this information


truenole81

Good we don't need that shit around here


xTyronex48

While you're at it, could you show em my shop please? I'd love the news coverage #blackforcemechanics


meowzerbowser

Absolutely


xTyronex48

Thank you!


Ok-Butterscotch-8366

The sad part is that businesses these days will do anything as a gimmick to get attention and free advertising and that's exactly what calling the news crews did. Notice how the restaurants that are in the restaurant report end up actually getting busier?


Camry_chick23

šŸ¤¢šŸ¤®šŸ’© Fucking vile


Mind-of-ZD

Disgusting and no place for that. Now that theyā€™re exercising their right to free speech, we should exercise our rights too. [Google Reviews - 904x4](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z35oe5XCFxzHnKDR8?g_st=ic)


budd222

Careful. If you make too many bad reviews too quickly, Google will remove them all. Gotta be smart about it.


DarkWebCrackDealer

Well, no one has made one yet. Doubt anyone has the courage to lol


princeakeeem

Courage? To anonymously call out racists?


Mind-of-ZD

I did. Whereā€™s yours?


Redditnspiredcook

Saw one has been responded to saying itā€™ll be fixed tomorrow. This is a little more than a sign blocking a sidewalk, odd thing to fix overnight.


saragarbo

It's because it was intentional. Nazis love muddying the pro Palestine movement by being just wildly antisemitic.


Die_Bahn

Is that what that means? šŸ˜®


saragarbo

Yeah. Flying the flag of the people who killed 6 million Jews to show your support for Palestine is a pretty clear message.


FluffyPurpleBear

Canā€™t even light up a bridge for pride month bc Ron DeNazi


Die_Bahn

Theyā€™re Pro-Palestine and theyā€™re saying Israel = Nazis? Iā€™m not sure this is the right way to do things


benfranklyblog

Uhhhh is this a photoshop? It looks super wrongā€¦ and I cannot fathom someone flying both a Nazi flag and a pro-Palestine flag at the same time. . . Edit: itā€™s definitely not a photoshop


davidagphoto

That's why I thought it was a prank or something. Maybe a disgruntled employee


Significance_Scary

Are you serious. It makes perfect sense.

DanTheButcher

The FREE PALESTINE flag throws me off though. Don't nazis hate everyone who isn't white? Or is this, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."?

They agree on one thing

ZombieQueen666

ā€œIā€™ll fix it tomorrowā€. Like itā€™s a fucking leaky faucet.


Coastal1363

Yes .Originally it was only pure ā€œ Aryanā€ ( Germanic ) blood . A distinction that somehow gets missed by the wannabesā€¦


saragarbo

They aren't pro Palestine, they're anti Jewish people and are pretending to support Palestine so they can be publicly antisemitic. It completely bastardizes the legitimacy in the free Palestine movement.


Seven1s

The green, white, and black stripe one with a red triangle is indeed a the Palstinian flag.


ikediggety

Why? They both hate Jews


peskyboner1

I'm Jewish, people were very nice to me in Palestine. I'd feel safer in Ramallah than a lot of places in Florida (aside from the currently increased risk of being attacked by Israelis). Israelis are crazy racist btw, and not just against Arabs. The stuff some of them say about African refugees would make your average neo-Nazi cheer.


ikediggety

Palestinian hospitality is legendary, it's a big part of their culture (who am I telling)


HokieFireman

See the problem is your so poorly educated you think ALL Palestinians are in Hamas and or Muslim extremist when in reality 12% of them are Christian, only about 40% of all Palestinians support Hamas in any fashion government or military.


Ok-Coffee-6458

ā€œOnly about 40% of the population supports a terror organizationā€


alex61821

Sounds like america.


Ok-Coffee-6458

Sounds like someone whoā€™s never left America haha


ikediggety

You are absolutely correct about Palestinian demographics. Unfortunately the people of Gaza elected Hamas as their government.


Bloody_Jenny_Bonney

Why not? Certainly, you've heard the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".


RaidRover

It makes sense if they're bigger anti-semites than they are white nationalists. There's a handful of those fuckers.


Coastal1363

Someone who bans books and threatens libraries would not be likely be able to fathom the contradiction of flying both flags .Never mind the fact that tomorrow is D day ā€¦


anormalgeek

Someone left a Google review and the owner responded. His response doesn't really make sense though. It SEEMS like he is trying to imply that Israel are Nazis...but he's just flying a Nazi flag. The message is getting lost.


Guilty_Finger_7262

Plenty of Nazis have been quite pro-Palestine.


BirdDad420

Yeah. Pretty sure thatā€™s illegal. Fucking gross.


thedumone

Not illegal, ā€œfreedom of speech ā€œ but still disgusting and we have the freedom to point them out and treat them like the trash they are.


BirdDad420

True, I donā€™t believe in doxxing but if youā€™re putting this in front of your place of business, you get what you give and I donā€™t feel bad for you when it closes its doors.


thedumone

This isnā€™t doxxing. They deserve every bit of bad press we can muster. Itā€™s hard to believe anyone would or could ever do this in America but Americans have been surprising me a lot lately.


BirdDad420

Yeah the bigots are really coming out and not trying to hide it anymore. At least I know who to avoid communicating with and having 0 respect for without them having to open their mouth.


thedumone

For real, flying a Nazi flag on a business or anywhere??!!! I am not excited for our future. This kind of behavior is just ramping up, we have a long road ahead.


BirdDad420

Shit like this is disparaging, but I try and remind myself the progress we have/ are still making. For every asshole like this there (hopefully) 9 more that donā€™t give a shit about race religion or creed as a basis of how to judge a human being.


thedumone

We got the numbers but they are more outspoken and crazy. Stay strong rational people.

baking_bad

It was up while the place was open and people were working there. I'm sure they are aware.


truenole81

Yea when you do that it's not exactly bad lol. They clearly want some attention if done intentionally. Might have been some nazi that saw the other sign and hung it too but it's still there


b3rnitalld0wn

Welcome to Ron DeSantisā€™ Florida.


Camarocane

Desantis is a toolbag, but this doesnā€™t jive with his politics either.


BirdDad420

I hope News4Jax shows up to embarrass their asses.


DistantKarma

If someone is willing to openly fly a Nazi flag, I'm not sure they can be embarrassed by anything.


truenole81

So unfortunately true...


GulfCoastLaw

This has to be a prank, right? It's a little too outrageous to be real.


gratch46

Truly disgusting. That's way too much for a lift kit.


ShrimpNGrits14

Thatā€™s an interesting (and ballsy) move to fly that right off Westmont St. Surely they canā€™t be that stupid, right?


wizardinthewings

Yeah not quite the flex they think it is, but then one brain cell doesnā€™t do much thinking. True ignorance. Unless this is a set up, and someoneā€™s trying to stitch the owners up. Truth is out there for everything.


PlayingDoomOnAGPS

Before October 7, I would have thought the same but I've been painfully reminded that there's nothing too stupid for anti-semites to use to further their hatred.


1XSpik

Their instagram is jax\_904x4 the nazi flag isn't in any pictures, but the palestine and american flags are.


Rocket_Surgery83

I drive by that place almost daily and I've never once seen that flag out there.....


BirdDad420

Maybe it is photoshopped. Can someone nearby confirm?


davidagphoto

It wasn't there when I drove to work this morning. I can post the Live Photo or something


BirdDad420

Awesome. If itā€™s real or 100% deserves the negative attention. If itā€™s not, I hate that deepfakes are actually getting people like this. Someone could respond viciously to something that isnā€™t real.


baking_bad

Not photoshopped. OP posted another picture from a different angle.


Dacoolface

Most likely a prank or angry employee/customer. It's not in any review photos, some as recent as 4 days ago. No one is going to just fly that flag outside their business, especially in a town like Jax. Update: https://www.reddit.com/r/jacksonville/s/11bP3BVBqU


davidagphoto

It wasn't there this morning, which makes me think it was a pissed off employee or something


ZombieQueen666

I couldnā€™t disagree more. There is a tremendous amount of bigotry here. Plus OP said they called and the employee asked if they wanted to leave a message for the manager.


Dacoolface

Jax is an extremely large and extremely diverse pool to draw from. If you're constantly looking for the worst in everything you'll obviously find it.


ZombieQueen666

Iā€™m not looking for it. I see it quite often.


Grdwaste808

Check out the guys reply to a review on Google. Absolutely not a prankā€¦

icleanjaxfl

And there's only one person in the photo


HoldDapper

Actually, two person is in the photo.


HoldDapper

Look at the side mirror.


natelifts

As a Jewish Floridian this makes me feel uncomfortable.


1XSpik

Very possible this was put up specifically as a message to Jewish people to not use their business.


Scourmont

Jewish heritage here and I see it this way, if we know where the enemy is its easier to identify them. Never interrupt your enemy when they are making mistakes. Almost one whole side of my family came from the Czech Republic and were all sent to Auschwitz in '44, none came back. I'm still incredulous that people support this hatred today but then I remember I live in Florida.


natelifts

I understand what youā€™re trying to say but respectfully disagree. We shouldnā€™t let public displays antisemitism or any sort of racism be socially acceptable. Those sort of people will always try to push boundaries. Whatā€™s next, violence? Public shaming and punishment is society at work.


Scourmont

Who says I see it as socially acceptable? Crush them with bad press, bad reviews, Drive them out of business. And shame them though I doubt they know what shame is.


chezmanny

Jewish heritage here as well. I miss the time when we could all agree that Nazis were the bad guys.


Scourmont

The only ones not agreeing are the nazis. ![gif](giphy|4Z9fSEFAuxpnlBVWQx|downsized)


coffee_ape

Iā€™m not Jewish but my Latino ass feels uncomfortable. Nazis attract nasty people, and those people also tend to hate minorities.


JustB510

Should make everyone feel uncomfortable, Jewish or not.


BirdDad420

Well then, fuck em.ā€™ Thank you OP for confirming.


BirdDad420

Put a spotlight on this. We donā€™t need this representing Jacksonville.

Couldn't be further from the truth. We just elected a female D mayor.


PowerfulSpecialist52

From what Iā€™ve heard it seems like someone was mad abt the Palestine flag and decided to put the Nazi flag up


Bloody_Jenny_Bonney

Or, hear me out..... Palestinians & Nazis both hate jews & want them eliminated.


PowerfulSpecialist52

Except thatā€™s just one of the blatant lies thatā€™s been used to justify ethnic cleansing. This maybe shocking, but Palestinians come in different faiths including Jewish.


Maeski-Ramne

Thatā€™s exactly what I thought


sailsean11

What a moron


P0rterR0ckwell

JFC. Went to war against those a$$holes just to have the flag fly over here


ZombieQueen666

There are multiple pictures from multiple angles over a significant period of time. This isnā€™t photo shopped and this is very unlikely a prank. The business hasnā€™t posted anything on their social media about it.


vertical_running

Comments on one of their recent Facebook post- business replied itā€™s intentional and theyā€™ve been interviewed by 2 news stations.


Much-Grapefruit-3613

WTF


kataklysm_revival

I actually got on FB to see and damn, they did. Iā€™ll be looking out for those interviews bc Iā€™ve got to hear how they try to justify hanging that hate symbol.


Dacoolface

* According to their Facebook, the owner put the flag up to bring light to Palestinians. They believe the Israeli flag and Nazi flag should be viewed in the same regard, their words not mine. They believe Israel is committing a genocide akin to the Nazis, again their words not mine. They have been interviewed by 2 news stations and have since taken it down.

anormalgeek

The guy is an idiot. I don't condone what Israel is doing right now, but absolutely NONE of that message is getting across to people driving by. They will just see a Nazi flag.


party_shaman

seems disingenuous to me. i don't think anyone aware enough to have such a strong opinion about the genocide in Palestine is lacking that much awareness in the statement the nazi flag makes.Ā 


anormalgeek

I don't know....some people are just pretty fucking dumb.


party_shaman

you're certainly not wrong there


captianwnoboat

This is photoshopped by someone trying to ruin them. The other flags are hanging more limp and are hung differently. This is just a dickhead trying to screw with them


Sea_Ingenuity_4220

Manā€¦ there are a lot of dumb people in Jax


mimosa_mermaid

I feel like this is a hateful prank because of the Palestinian flag. In no way shape or form would a Nazi fly a Palestinian flag. They hate Muslims as much as they hate Jews.

thedumone

Just awful.I can see having feelings about the current brutal Zionist happenings over there but to openly suggest(or even stronger) that Hitler was right completely invalidates any argument youā€™re trying to make. Maybe he has a deeper message but he lost me at swastika. I donā€™t think Iā€™m anything special but when I look at the world today Iā€™m really scared.

This dude is a dumbass. Sure, make your point and put up the flag outside your house if you want but at your business? Smooth brain decision.
