The collective IQ of the Lansing area has shot back up with the departure of the National Socialist Movement protestors yesterday following their rally.
Approximately 75 neo-Nazis showed up out of 200 expected, around 800 counter-demonstrators participated in the Noise Blockade, and around 900 were at the diversity rally that the neo-Nazis did leave alone following their own rally. Other news agencies are reporting similar numbers.
By my count, that's approximately 75 NSM members vs. approximately 1,700 Noise Blockade demonstrators and diversity participants. For some reason, the rest of the Nazis stayed home.
It was too bad that people broke part of the fence down and went after the NSM members; it was unnecessary. Sixteen individuals were arrested. It seemed like some in the crowd wanted to fight the police because they could, but backed down.
Hate to tell the Nazis "I told you so" (thhhp!!), but I DID tell them so.
So much for the largest white power rally of 2006. Good riddance.
