Much Ado About Nothing

As promised, I have pictures from the protest. Honestly, they are not very good. To get close enough to really see or hear anything, you had to go through a checkpoint, show ID and submit to a search. Sorry kids, but I didn’t want the picture that bad.

This is the Aryan Anarchist Skins- all four of them.

The counter protesters were mostly local kids, yelling for the Nazis to go home.

There were over 100 police there. In their tactical gear. 96 degrees. Spending their Saturday with this Comedy of the Absurd.

In case you can’t read the back of this guy’s shirt, it says “One good fist is worth a thousand words”

So, that was the Big Deal. Four demonstrators, maybe 40 counter protesters, 140 police officers working security, probably 200 people standing outside the perimeter to see what the fuss was all about, and an estimated $60,000 to the taxpayers.

One of the radio stations interviewed Old Sarge. He told them that he spent most of his adult life protecting the right to have demonstrations like this, but it pissed him off to have to pay for it.

Amen.
