Neo-Nazi march in Missouri draws hundreds of spectators
About two dozen participate in march against university's said Marxist-ties; seven spectators arrested.
By The Associated PressA neo-Nazi march attracted hundreds of spectators and counter-protesters in Missouri, and police used pepper spray to control the crowd. Seven spectators were arrested.
About two dozen neo-Nazis marched Saturday near the University of Missouri-Columbia campus, protesting what they said were the school's links to Marxism. Police escorted the marchers, who included several people wearing brown-shirted uniforms and carrying Nazi banners.
Between 300 and 400 people gathered along the parade route, Columbia police Capt. Zim Schwartze said. Police used pepper spray as marchers and spectators pressed toward each other, catching several bystanders and news photographers in the spray. No one was seriously injured.
The spectators were arrested on suspicion of peace disturbance by fighting, trespassing and assault of a police officer.

Who cares about Missouri? Go home to Eretz Yisroel and expel Arabs from Jewsih land! We will not fear anti-Semitism in a strong Jewish State. Wake up and smell the Katiusha fire!!! End appeasement of murdeing Arabs today! Stop Oslo Shoah! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JewishClubMaoz/
So i guess americans are anti-Semites as well?
Missouri is a pretty remote, backward state...KKK territory...do you expect anything less? Its not only Jews...Blacks, Gays, Spanish...You name it, they hate it!
with a statement like that, you should be attending the University of the same name. They are just a crazy as you are.
As long as they have a permit, they are allowed. We hold our Constitution very dear. It gives people Freedom of Expression, no matter what kind of garbage they are. They held a rally in my city, and no one showed up to protest them. Cut their rally short and went home. Never came back here. The y crave attention and want the news media there, so protstors shoudl just ignore them. If they did, they wouldn't even get a mention. Brown shirts like the publicity.
No, they do not. We usually pick our dentists, doctors, etc; based on reputation and past work. Not on ethnicity or religion. My surgeon is Syrian, I am not. My Dentist is Jewish, I am not. My lawyer is a German, I am not. That is just a stupid statement.
are the police sympathetic towards neo-natzis or are these 12 marchers actually police bait trying to flush out their idea of potential trouble makers in the crowd for a photo-op ? sounds fishy to me.this is just like a gay parade-if nobody showed up to watch these wackos would soon get tired of marching.

Dozens in a country of millions. There are those who worship the Devil and those who worship Scat and those who worship Nazism. They are about the same thing in all regards. They are in every country and We Will Not Forget! They know this and are so lacking in power that they now demonstrate against Marxism. LOL They have been relegated to the ranks of the useless and are the only ones that see their impotence. They huddle in small rooms with their blistering rhetoric. Then they come out and demonstrate weakly. Two dozen of them in an impromptu demonstration that brought hundreds and hundreds of citizens to jump them. :) Democracy is safe and we stand guard in all the free world. :)
See that you are back in the office on time on Monday. If you have been arrested don't worry, get word to us & we'll bail you out
not that I care one way or the other.
The article is wrong positioned. You are too focused on yourself and you miss larger perspective. The case reflects the situation in society i.e. militantism and unification towards Otherness. You or other it does not matter. It matters they are moved into conquest- internal and external. I am sure; Jews/Others in private businesses undergo deficits a lot. Americans pick careful dentists, doctors, lawyers based on ethnicity and religion. Do you have anthropologists in Israel?
How can this happen in the USA at this time? Hundreds of thousands of allied servicemen died to combat Nazism while millions of civilians died, including the Holocaust victims. The marchers should have been arrested and charged for wearing the insignias and uniforms as would be the case in Germany. This is "freedom" out of control.
At least now we know what the American Anti Semitic posters do on their weekends!!!!!
