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.
