Neo-Nazis marched through downtown Columbia, MO, this afternoon. They went through all the right channels to get permits and work out a parade route, and the police escorted them through the college area. The group claims they were marching to "protest Marxism at the University of Missouri."I defend their right to peaceful statements of their beliefs, but I abhor the fact that they exist in the first place.
I think my husband was right this afternoon when he said that the way to truly send a message is to completely ignore their presence. If they marched through town and absolutely no one came out to see them, if the streets were deserted, then we would have let them know how insignificant they are. They're looking for the attention.
Appalling.
