Nazis go to The West Allis state fair

What the rally amounted to in numbers: about 25 Neo-Nazis in a “In Defense of White America” rally, approximately 300 police in riot gear with armored vehicles at the ready, and anywhere from “several hundred” to 2,000 counter-protesters. The white power group selected West Allis after it was the site of a black youth mob attack on white Wisconsin State Fair attendees on August 4 when 7 officers were hurt, 24 youth were arrested and 11 fair-goers were injured.

According to MJS, “Several people in the crowd wore yellow T-shirts identifying themselves as ACLU legal observers. Some of the slogans on signs in the crowd included “More jobs, less hate” and “Stop Nazi hate.”
