If government-endorsed and recognized White militias, White supremacists, White nationalists, Klansmen, neo-Nazis, skinheads, Proud Boys, Boogaloo Brothers, 13 Percenters and other haters conspire to kidnap and kill one of their own kind, what in the hell do you think they will do to you?

      ” You are standing in a long voting line. Your legs are tired, your back is starting to hurt, and your left foot is killing you. You can quietly slip out of that line, go to your car and none of your friends will ever know,  but a few people looking down on you will say “STAY IN THAT LINE”.

Located in North Miami Beach, The Smash Spot is an attraction designed for customers to constructively channel their emotions in a destructive way. Patrons get their own rooms and full protective gear to smash away at dishes, household items and electronics, all guilt-free. While it may seem like just a fantasy come true for some people, for owner Vanessa Cashmere, it all started from her own reality.
