Thread: National Socialist Movement

any thoughts? Did NSM hold any marches in your area? They had one in Phoenix today which was said to be fairly heated. Found it interesting the Police had Snipers set up on the rooftops around the protests.

Members of the National Socialist Movement marched to the Arizona State Capitol to protest.

"It's an American first rally," said NSM member Steven Boswell. "It's a demand for our politicians to put Americans first."

The march began at 2 p.m. as the group marched down Washington Street toward the capitol buildings.

The march focused mainly on illegal immigration.

"We've got completely wide open borders and politicians who will bend over backwards for Mexicans or anyone else who is not American," Boswell said.

"Neither political party is doing anything about illegal immigration," said NSM Commander Jeff Schoep.

About a hundred people marched down the street, many wearing swastikas and chanting racial slurs.

They were met with heated protesters across the street.

"It makes me sick," said Kevin Heade who went downtown to protest the rally. "What they are doing is anti-American."

Police created a barrier between the two groups as they shouted back and forth for about an hour Saturday afternoon. Sharp shooters were also positioned on roof tops prepared for violence.

Civil rights leaders say the group is using immigration as a front.

"(They are) injecting their vile agenda into what is a legitimate mainstream issue," said Bill Straus with the Arizona chapter of the Anti-Defamation League.

Straus says it's common for hate groups to take political issues and twist them to gain support.

"They are about their philosophy: That Caucasians are superior to other people and this country would be better without people of any color -- period," Straus said.

The NSM calls itself America's "largest white civil rights organization."

It is also holding similar protests this weekend across the country.

"We are not a hate group," Boswell said.

"We've had hundreds of rallies across the country and we've never had one person arrested," Boswell said.

No one was arrested and there were no physical fights or injuries reported.

Thoughts? whack jobs being whack jobs I guess. Not much to say about it.

i was going to say the same thing!

i don't get why the hell they would have snipers though. if people started fighting, the police would start shooting people? lol wtf, that's logical *heavy sarcasm*

I didn't think about that but that's a good point Persian. I wouldn't expect the police to start shooting people to regain order. Not with real bullets anyway.

but those are what binoculars are for!
