The ACLU have historically defended the right of the KKK to march, even through Black neighbourhoods. They might be the wrong group to support in this case.
Wow. I had no idea. They need to rethink their mindset on Hate Rallies. If the rally is more a means of harassment as opposed to protest then there should be exceptions. Harassment isn’t legal.
I heard that the candlelight vigil in Charlottesville was called off due to threats from the Nazi goons….

….I hope they’ll be able to hold it at another time. Peaceful protesters need some sort of group to defend them (like that motorcycle group and those folks in Angel costumes during Military Funerals/LGBTAQ gatherings against that Phelps/Drain Weirdo Hate Cult)…..

If the cops won’t due their job fully then it’s up to We The People.
On the upside; There’s THOUSANDS of protests elsewhere!
ARGH! I MEANT TO POST THIS AS THE SECOND LINK BUT THE TIMER RAN OUT!….
….These comments need a longer timer. 8 minutes, tops.
I couldn’t find a good photo of that motorcycle bunch.
Well; Peaceful protesters need some sort of protectors as well as lookouts to watch out for violent goons and oncoming killer death cars.
Thank you for the Grosvenor Square link, Weatherwax! Went to the anti-fascism/anti-racism rally there this evening – just a hundred or so people, but that was at short notice. Glad to have been able to make it, thanks to you!

This is indeed the point we’re trying to make. White supremacist marches are intrinsically harassment and indeed an open threat of violence.
FOR THE HALIBUT; I DECIDED TO TOSS IN SOME FUN GIFS FOR YOUR PERUSAL….
….and LAST BUT NOT LEAST….
BONUS!: ONE Against SPACE NAZIS!….
