Stella-

More than one person giving Nazi salute. Person yelling white power. No one near them on their side has a word to say to them. I am fairly tolerant of opposing views, I don't know about you but if someone associated with my movement was yelling white power and giving the Nazi salute I would be irate!

White nationalists kill more Americans in domestic terrorist attacks then any other group, I do not take their presence lightly. Ignoring them only allows them to radicalize more people and for their ideology to spread unfortunately. Perhaps if those around Dylan Roof and James Jackson took their white power talk more seriously their victims would still be here.

The organizer of the rally says in his speech to build a wall around Central Falls, that in Olneyvile raid there were 300 Mario Hilarios, and that immigrants hate Water Fire because they can't wash their clothes or fish in the river then.

Yet the article in question does not mention any of it despite the fact that the xenophobic racism of host and supporters was a significant reason for the counter protest. Nor did it get quotes from any of the counter protesters despite the main thrust of article being quotes demeaning and insulting them by DePetro and other rally attendees. Pointing this fact out does not make anyone the poster boy, it corrects the record on an inaccurate piece of journalism. It also refuses to allow white supremacism to be normalized by ignoring those who publicly promote it as just white power kooks, instead of the terrorists they are.
