It was damned hairy going up against almost 30 Nazis with just 7 or 8 anti-racist activsts!

WHERE WERE YOU DC? Only 7 or 8 people bothered to show up and confront the National Alliance as they protested the 5 year sentence of one of their own in Germany for Holocaust denial.

Some of the major Nazis were also no-shows. No David Duke, no BW, etc. Still, 30 Nazis is 30 too many, especially in light of recent far-right violence in the DC area.

The day was not a total loss, as a lot of good intel was collected for later use. Since the Nazis are in the stupid habit of travelling by car, activist were able to collect some of their license plate numbers. Especially stupid was their practice of driving by some of us on the way out and yelling at us, giving us the opportunity to quietly record their license plate numbers then and there.

Still, the Nazis will leave today with far better memories than the last time they went to the German Embassy. That time around, Billy Roper got his head laid open with an iron bar, as over 100 people pursued the Nazis through the streets.

This time around,BTW, Billy Roper was a no-show as a result of an internal Nazi power struggle.
