Neo-Nazis are notorious for their violent ways, searing ignorance, and abysmal taste in music. (Oi!)
Now, adding to their list of affronteries, a league of blowhard bulletheads have used a handful of plump, juicy sausages to terrorize unsuspecting vegans.

Kiwi Café is a vegan oasis located in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi in Eastern Europe. Highly popular with the local LGBTQ community, it’s suddenly found itself the target of vicious Neo-Nazi attacks, who apparently found the coffeeshop by wandering through town in their Doc Martens and suspenders, asking passersby if they knew of any pro-gay stores that might need to be reviled and defiled.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The squadron of social terrorists allegedly stomped into the café with links of sausages hung around their necks. Next, they taunted startled diners with slabs of meat poked through with skewers, hurdling them at customers before assaulting staff and patrons.

The meat-festooned minions of mayhem managed to escape before police arrived. Some of the shell-shocked victims sustained minor injuries.
Kiwi Café released a statement about the incident, which they describe as “anti-vegan provocative action.”
“These people were neo-Nazis,” they write. “Participants of Bergmann movement, who support fascist ideas.”
In spite of the situation and everyday negative attitude to us and other people, who visit us, the café is continuing to work and is ready to accept all costumers regardless of nationality, race, appearance, age, gender, sexual orientation, religious views, etc. Equality is the most important thing for us.
During these hard times you can support us just by visiting our café, we will be very grateful if you come to show everyone that here are a lot of us who care about the issue!
Though this meat attack is utterly absurd and surreal, these attacks are, of course, no laughing matter.
As Pink News reports, Georgia has suffered a number of neo-Nazi attacks in recent months, particularly during their Pride parade, which has been haunted by repeated acts of violence.
In 2012, The European Court of Human Rights ruled that the country was neglecting to protect marchers from acts of violence:
Given the attitudes in parts of Georgian society towards sexual minorities, the authorities knew or should have known of the risk of tensions associated with the march.
They had thus been under an obligation to use any means possible to ensure that it could be held peacefully.

First, let me state that this act of violence for what it represented was abhorrent. It was an act of intimidation for the Cafe’s support of progressive values. BUT it was very Monty Pythonish, throwing grilled meat and sausages at vegans. The “sausage” brigade was the equivalent of a hate crime, but you’ve got to admit that by itself, it was comical. OK. One, two three, four…attack politically correct police.

Where was the police? Some tear gas would disperse these trouble makers real fast.
Mr.Tim
Thank you for not using the term “skinhead” in the article, so many people wanna lump the two together. Fascism is not anarchy and it not part of the true skinhead culture.
As far as “abysmal taste in music. (Oi!)” I’ll gladly take Punk/Oi! music over the swill spewed out in clubs any day.
Mr.Tim
@Curtispsf: If no one was hurt I would be right there laughing with you. “Runaway, runaway!”

It may sound funny to read, but I’m sure the people in the cafe were terrified since it’s basically open season on gay people in the former Soviet Bloc. The attackers could have done a whole lot more to the patrons if they wanted to and it’s likely there wouldn’t have been much of an investigation.

What is that emblem with the sword fighting c*cks in the photo?
Ruhlmann
@Paco: I though it was just me who noticed that. The neo-Nazi equivalent of a sausage party? Fascist frottage?

Put these r@cist hom0phobic psychos on Grindr and I’m sure some here Queerty would be slobbering to get a piece of their N@zi sausages!

@Paco: That’s actually the emblem of the so-called G.A.S.H. (Gay Aryan Skin Heads), a neo-nazi group of gay people based in Russia. It seems utterly ridiculous but a gay neo-nazi group really does exist. Vice interviewed a member of the group:

Paco
@JessPH: Thanks for the info. The way he described his group made it sound like it was just a bunch of r@cist gay white guys into bdsm and making excuses for the atrocities committed against gays in the past.
Ridiculous indeed.

@abnerbha: “Adolf Hitler’s diet from 1931 onwards was vegetarian…. In the end Hitler, his mistress Eva Braun and their dog Blondi all committed suicide.”
I was aware that Hitler was a vegetarian. But I never knew that his dog committed suicide!
Kidding.

@onthemark: Blondie (the dog – a german shepherd of course) did NOT commit suicide (can dogs do that?). It was fed poison to test that the poison would work (Adolph didn’t want any mistakes as he was taking it next). So technically, the dog was murdered by poison.

Sausages eh? How awful. You wouldn’t know where they’d been!! After all, I’ve seen movies . . . . . . .
