100 Anti Racists and 7 Nazis in Olympia

Seven Nazis came to Olympia today to hold a National Socialist Movement rally. With only 48 hours notice the Olympia community came out to show the Nazis they were not welcome to Olympia.
Can you see the fairy dust on this Nazi's hat?

The Olympia community waited for over an hour at the top of the Eastside hill, a block away from the intersection The Olympian Newspaper claimed the Nazis would begin their march. As the crowd gathered it was decided that whether or not the Nazis were actually going to show the Olympia community would march down to Sylvester Park in a demonstration of anti racism. About halfway down the hill, right across the street from The Olympian Newspaper office, the march ran into the Nazis getting out of their trucks. For more than an hour and a half the Olympia Police department used them selves and their bikes to seperate the march of anti rascists from the Nazis. The younger man with the beard claimed to be thier "leader" and stated he was in Olympia to protest "White european genocide". He also said he was inspired to be Nazi by a dream he had of Hitler where Hitler asked him to "fight for you race, fight for your nation." (Quote taken from video of rally)

The turn out of Olympians for the anti racist rally seemed to indicate sucess for those opposed to the presence of Nazis in Olympia. The Nazis also believe their day to be a sucess, according to  http://www.nukeisrael.com/, where they call the anti racist rally "commie scum".

Here are some of the photos I took. I have more pictures if you were there and are looking for a particluar picture.

hahahahahah.. this is straight from their site, nukeisreal.com

"10+ Racial Patriots gathered in Washington State to protest White
Genocide.

We had recently promoted
a misinformation campaign on many leftist news sites which had the scum quite confused. The anti's
gathered in Seattle to protest a nazi rally that
was a just hoax.


The Seattle Rally con kept many protesters busy and 60 miles away via the highly congested I-5 freeway from our real target.

Olympia scum found our location (the cops told them) and
called the Seattle anti's who left for Olympia. But it took nearly a hour for them drive from Seattle to Olympia. The NSM rally was mostly over when the huge commie mob started to form.

The few cops doing security became unable to control the hordes of protesters. All of our people got home safely but most had to be escorted out in the back seat of police cars. Hundred's of rioting protesters then attacked the the cop cars. Commie scum threw rocks and attempted to spit on us.

NO! This isn't over!!!

We will return soon with more troops Heil Hitler!"

in Germany you wouldnt even have come so close. You would have 3-400 Policeofficers on duty in full riot gear. In some cities like Munich almost 1000. The area arround the nazis would have been closed with wired fences and you would have at least 12 (from 100) arrested on antifa side so the cops can justified the effort.

Nope with 4-5 Cops standing arround 7 Nazis (at least i only counted 5 cops) and 100 antifas standing arround they would have been smashed. I was once into a antifa rally in germany and i could see what happend with 5 Nazis who stood outside of the police secured ground...can you say hospital.

This is a warning coming from germany. It needed not more than a couple of years to mutate such a silly little group of fascists to a very big problem in our country. Meanwhile they sent about 2000 of their followers to private security companies in bosnia and irak and so I'm afraid of what can happen in another couple of years. The Reaction of our government? In the moment the judges condemn left activists to higher fines because of using crossed Hakenkreuze (I don't know the english synonym) - it is the forbidden usage of national-socialistic symbols!
Let me say it in the words of the great Bertolt Brecht. I don't want to translate ist, because it is lyric. Maybe somebody of you could take this of an american edition of "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui":
Ihr aber lernet wie man sieht, statt stiert. Und handelt, statt zu reden noch und noch. Sowas hätt' mal fast die Welt regiert. Doch das keiner zu früh da triumphiert - der Schoß ist fruchtbar noch, aus dem das kroch.
For me "Arturo Ui" is the definitive analysis about the rise of Adolf Hitler.

It`s really nice to see that there`s some anti-Nazi activities goin on in Olympia.
Maybe their rally seems to be ridiculous right now; but nonetheless it`s totally necessary
to fight any of their attempts to march in the streets to spread their disgusting ideology.
In some regions in Germany, especially in the country, the Nazis were
able to establish no-go areas because of the fact that the people made a heavy mistake:
they underestimated the nazi`s power and support, so they waited too long and now it`s almost too late....
Be aware that you don`t make the same mistake!
Kind regards to all of you

Thanks for the words of warning and encouragement from Germany and UK. I think its really helpful to people here, who tend to examine their actions as if we live in a bubble, and fail to adequately apprehend the global scope. Your contribution to the discussion is very welcome.

Smash nazis!!! 26.Jan.2006 07:15

It's really funny to see these few nazis and a hundred antifas around them.
It would be unbelievable to see such a situation here in germany...

Smash nazi-scum! EVERYWHERE!!!

p.s. hakenkreuze = swastikas

Thanx for the nice pics :-)
It is good to know there are places on the earth where 100 protesters gathered against Nazis in 78 hours. In my country (Czech Republic, East Europe) it is much harder. On the other way, few times in the past it happened in a way similar to yours. Every time Nazis were beaten. Of course - police in Czech Republic is not the same as in Germany and even in States.
Good luck.

I happen to find this site regarding justin boyer and his girlfriend the one that is unidentified in photos. I believe her name is brittany. I live in this apartment complex in des moines, wa. and noticed that these people live in my complex. They are in building b bottom left unit 103 in the Bayview meadows apartments on s. 216th st. Hope they move to a more suitable place like Iran, Sudan or maybe the moon. Fucking Nazi's, get the hell out of here. You nazi's are a bunch of morons, retarded, stupid. You are all brainwashed by your fucking nazi leaders, and you don't even realize it. You must be all mentally ill. Did any of you really study your history let alone did any of you had any schooling. Is hate hate 88 the promise of the future, where are you fucking nazi's from anyway. You are not even close to being americans. Remember that Hitler killed the mentally ill first. We the african americans, asians, jews, hispanics, the normal whites are here to stay, you on the other hand get the fuck out of this country. WE DON'T NEED YOU.

Agree with p on this, although would have been nice to see some more direct tactics employed. Not being there at the time though its difficult to second guess the reason why certain tactics were adopted, maybe the humilliation factor outweighed the percieved gains of a physical confrontation. But if it reflects a general liberal as opposed to millitant antifascist agenda on the part of the organisers then thats a different matter. In terms of uniforms tho i think our 88 chums enjoying a bit of male bonding in the woodlands (that you can see on the news section of the uk antifa site) of the cz countryside win the contest hands down!!!!!!!!!!!!
