Calling a Spade a Spade: Security Fence Is There for The Protection of the Neo-Nazis, Not the Community

Preparations for this weekend's neo-Nazi rally moved into full swing as the various police departments began erecting a fence around the planned Nazi protest site.

The National Socialist Movement (NSM) had gone to court to prevent the fence from being put up, but a judge decided to let the Lansing and Michigan State police departments do their jobs and keep the Nazis and everyone else from tearing one another apart. This was a wise decision by the court.

The NSM court action is more proof that the group wants to maximize the possibility of an outbreak of violence during the protest and that they have nothing but bad intentions in holding their rally in Lansing. Why else would they want a fence that's there for their protection removed?

It's going to be funny to watch the Nazis have their message drowned out by the Noise Blockade, which the anti-Nazi demonstrators are (rightly) calling their rally.
