There was a parade in columbia missouri on march 10th to protest what the national socialist movement called the teaching of marxist views at the University of Missouri Columbia. They were escorted on their parade route by Columbia Police, County Sherrifs and the Missouri State Police. Columbia approved the permits for the parade in the intrest of Freedom Of Speech. The parade which was supposed to last for an hour was cut short when several protesters became violent and the police had to use pepper spray. 7 of the protesters were arrested. None of the Nazis were arrested. The people of columbia were urged by local officals and police to simply ignore the march which i think would have been a much more effective statement than physically attacking the marchers. but protesters can never seem to behave themselvs. i think both sides were stupid. but i guess both achieved their goals. whatever....
