So here's some pics from that Nazi *spit* rally.

First, some set-up.

This is where the Nazi scum were standing. The cop and dog in the background were one of several teams of canine units that were, I can only assume, checking for explosives and suchlike.


This is one of the groups of cops getting in place. What you can't see are the long nightsticks they are carrying. These things were at least two feet long. Alas, they did not thump any Nazis upside the head while I was there.


More cops. Like I said in my synopsis of this rally a couple of posts back, there were maybe 75 of the neo-Nazi thugs. There seemed to be one cop for every neo-Nazi. And they all had nightsticks, mace, and sidearms. There was also a SLED helicopter making passes, but it moved way too fast to get a good pic of it.


This, although hard to see, is basically the cops' mobile headquarters. From here, the guys inside can talk to every cop here, or just one in particular. They were also, I believe, recording as much of the area as possible.


Some of the protestors. I did not get super-hippy-lady in this (or apparently any) pic. She was a walking, talking stereotype of liberal hippydom. And about 60 years old.


The neo-Nazis march to the statehouse. The crowd is not amused. (Also, I have no idea how the Nazi thug in all black managed to not pass out from the heat. Maybe racism and rampant stupidity keep you cool.)


The neo-Nazis continue to march. The cop staring straight at me was just out of the last picture and had seen me yell the gay pride remark. He looked like he wanted to say something, maybe even congratulate me, but he also might have been making sure I wasn't packing a weapon under my coat.

Another generic Nazi thug photo.


A not-so generic Nazi thug photo.


And another.


Look, ma, they managed to figure out how to work a microphone!


The Nazi thugs continue to try and get their message across.
