Kittens, raised with rabbits, have learned to imitate the rabbits’ behavior by hopping about.

I anticipate being kicked out from our gym, Old Town Sport&Health in Alexandria, VA,  because I confronted Richard Spencer, aka the Neo Nazi who has moved his hate operations to Alexandria Virginia. First, I want to note that this man is a supreme coward. When I approached this flaccid, sorry excuse of a man and asked ‘Are you Richard Spencer,“ this pendulous poltroon said “No. I am not.”  But of course he was. (Recall that when he booked a restaurant reservation at Maggiano’s Little Italy Chevy Chase under a false name (http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/11/alt-right-donald-trump-conference-restaurant)? Second, I exploited the full range of my first amendment entitlements by telling him that this country does not belong to white men. As a white woman, I find his membership at this gym to be unacceptable. I found his membership at this gym to be an unfair burden upon the women and people of color–and white male allies of the same.  I also loudly identified him as a neo-Nazi who has said, inter alia, the below detailed things. Third, as the attached photo attests, this pusillanimous shitbird actually requested one of the African American Female Trainers to help him escape from my confronting him. Seriously? This superior race of a white man needed the help of a female African American? What kind of martial race member is he? To my abject horror–a white woman defended him and yelled at me for making a scene and threatned to call the police to which I said “Do it. I’m not breaking the law.”  She claimed that she had no idea who he was and expressed indifference to the same. I told her that when she googles this wretch, she should be ashamed of herself and apologize to me and every employee at this gym who must suffer the indignities of treating this man like a civilized person when he is orthogonal to a civilized person. He a hateful, white supremacist who has no place in this century..much less our gym. To refresh your memories, these are some of his “greatest hits”: ““America belongs to white men.” (https://theintercept.com/2016/12/07/america-belongs-white-men-alt-right-founder-says/) Has saluted (using the Nazi salute of course) Trump as their Fuhrer (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/richard-spencer-speech-npi/508379/). Has recently marched on Charlottesville to protest the removal of Gen Lee statue hollering “You will not replace us” and furthering “What brings us together is that we are white, we are a people, we will not be replaced.” To complete the fuckwitery he and his associate desported about with Tiki torches…because KKK-standard-issue torches are no longer available at Walmart. (See https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/alt-rights-richard-spencer-leads-torch-bearing-protesters-defending-lee-statue/2017/05/14/766aaa56-38ac-11e7-9e48-c4f199710b69_story.html?utm_term=.c7c2cb9ea6dd). Let’s get a few facts straight.  The majority of employees of Old Town Sport&Health are women and/or people of color, whom “Dick” Spencer has repeatedly asserted (on his Twitter feed for example, https://twitter.com/RichardBSpencer) to be inferior to his kind who are entitled to rule over us because we are not christian, white or have a vagina. (Also..fuck him again. With a giant strap-on and no lube.) In my book, this is a clear case of a hostile environment being perpetrated by the general manager, who is an indifferent, asinine white feller who demanded that I remove my “Puck Trump” hat a few weeks back while asserting the “right” of this Nazi to join our gym some two months ago. Priorities anyone? He says that “corporate is working on this.” What a load of rubbish. He is the GM. He has the right to kick out folks…like me for telling a neo Nazi to go to hell…but not the neo Nazi, despite the hostile environment this creates for his employees who know who is..and most do. Would any of you who are lawyers be willing to represent the trainers and employees of this gym–many of whom I love like family–on a percentage of win basis?  These trainers are not well paid and they need this job.  But this is high order bullshit. No one should have to put up with this just because they lack the resources to hire a lawyer. I will be writing a piece in the HuffPo. I will be writing to corporate and demanding the firing of this GM and the ousting of this Nazi. And the General Manger of Old Town Sport&Health is ultimately responsible for ensuring a safe, nonthreatening work environment for his employees. By allowing this savage into our gym, he has undermined his own position. He even asked one of the African American trainers to meet with him!  Un-fucking-believable. Best part of this event this evening: the General Manger accused me of creating the “hostile environment” for hollering in a non-threatening way at this Nazi asshole.  He has no idea what hornets nest he has kicked over. I won’t rest until the GM is out and my friends at this gym are relieved of this hostile environment.
