Default Rally Update

Sorry for posting this on multiple threads. Feel free to consolidate, mods.

It was a good day in the 'Zoo.

I'm going to give the short version of events here, mostly because I am sore from fighting, worn out from the heat, and ready to get some sleep, but I want to tell the story everyone wants to hear.

The communists never got within 100 yards of the Turner rally. There was no chanting, no shouting down, and no visible opposition because the communists all came out to fight us and the nine or ten NSM guys who also did not join the Turner rally -- and we successfully stopped them from even getting past the security checkpoint.

While I didn't say it beforehand, we had considered confronting the communists in Bronson Park, in the hopes that their march would never reach the Turner rally, and the newspapers could report "no opposition", but scrapped that plan when Hal decided to released public statements accusing us of "mental illness".

Things were quiet, of course, until the approximately 50 counter demonstrators showed up to protest. There were another 50 spectators, both black and white, supportive and opposed, sitting in the street as well.

When the counter demonstrators showed up, myself, Neal Joitke and a fellow named Mike confronted them -- alone -- for about ten minutes. Seeing that we were standing in the middle of a small mob -- to the credit of Dan Hill, Dan Carlson, and all the NSM Michigan guys who attended -- the NSM came out to help us, and the lot of us, plus several other pro-white spectators -- had a big rumble with the communists where someone -- Dan Carlson, I think -- tore down a communist banner as the rest of us fought. The police broke up the fight by charging us with horses -- I did get trampled on a bit by a horse, though, fortunately, it did not knock me down -- and that was the pinnacle of the day's excitement.

I had been told by one of Jim Ramm's alter egos that Dan Hill and company were planning to attack me before the rally. I also received several death threats from Hal Turner supporters before the rally, and had been told I was going to be assaulted by the Vinlanders. The source for the third rumor seemed to be the anti-racists affiliated with Citizens Against Hate, who had filled one of the opposition group's heads with dipshit before the rally.

Overall, we handed out about forty magazines, 90% of them to supporters of white racialism, and had some good conversations with people. I don't know that we made any converts, but it was a good time.

We also gave a lengthy interview to several television stations on the subject of why we oppose Hal Turner, white nationalist conman, and detailed several of the fundraising schemes he had engaged in during the years. There was about an hour of controlled shouting across a police line during the rally, and, at the end, the police tricked the communists into leaving by telling them the Nazis were "over there" and, as the communist all ran that direction, they spirited everyone at the Turner event off, and left us open to walk the other way down the street to our cars.

That's the short version. I'm on my way home to Virginia, and will try to supplement this later on and on Monday's radio show.
